"Hi my name is Gary Schutt. We’re talking about guitar effects, right now it’s an effect called reverb. Reverb gives you a sound as if you’re playing in a small room, large concert hall, and cave, whatever. It’s a very cool thing to have, especially when you’re in a studio. Right now this is my dry signal with distortion and I think I have a small reverb going on here, a very small room reverb. Let’s turn this up a couple notches and here’s a bigger room. Let’s keep going and see what we’ve got. A bigger room. A big room. Really big room. I don’t know where we are, but it’s huge. You can do a cool effect called volume swells, if you have a really long reverb bond, you just take your volume knob, turn it down to zero, fret a note, then turn it on and then let it go. "
