There are a lot of digital effects out there. They digitize the input signal, do some calculations and again convert to analog for the output. A lot of reverb units are like that. Some amplifiers have digital reverb builtin.
- ben7799 7y agoAlso good to call out the better digital reverb units do this: 1) Split analog signal 2) Pass through one side to output (probably with a signal boost) 3) Take the other side & digitize 4) Apply effect to digital signal 5) Convert output digital signal to analgo 6) Mix into the output of step 2 I find this to be a very audible difference.
- tobr 7y agoBut what changes in a digital spring reverb is not that you switch some analog circuitry for digital. Either you simply attach a DAC to the input and an ADC to the output, but that doesn’t really mean that you get rid of analog circuitry. Or more likely, you’re replacing mechanical parts for a software model that achieves a similar sound. What’s interesting in that is not that you go from analog to digital, but from real mechanical equipment to a software simulation.
