I dial in a nice half second or so delay, turn it up to where I can just barely hear it, then back it off as well.

I’m not aiming for anyone to be able to actually be aware of the reverb or the delay. I just find that the lightest touch of it seems to enhance and richen the sound. If you notice it it’s too much.

If the room is reverberant, I might still dial in just the delay on the guitar, or I might go totally dry. I don’t use any delay on the vocal because I think it muddies up the words, even with just the smallest amount.

I don’t change the reverb and delay settings for different songs. It’s so subtle it really doesn’t matter.
This is what i do as well. I have a few songs
where its dialed up alot for an effect. but most
of the time when i use it its with a bit of delay
as well but very subtle.
