So it turns out you can shape the tone of an instrument in a mix – in this case electric guitars – by processing the reverb. Room reverb is one of my favourite things to use in a mix to unify it and create a sense of depth and realness. This technique was partly inspired by the band The Walkmen who’s guitar sound is heavily dosed in bright reverb. Let me know if you have any feedback or ideas about how to use reverb as a tone shaping tool.
