Reverb plug

This effect has fewer controls than the XFX Reverb plug-in but still produces a very bigb-quality and satisfying reverb. Tbe different controls with their less technical names make this plug-in easier to use in many cases.

Some FX belong very late in the chain (such as EQ and Reverb) and some earlier (Compression). Others shonld be used in a particular order. Track FX plug-ins are usually applied in this order Compression, Noise Gate, and, finally, EQ. This is not a hard and fast mle, and there may be creative reasons why you d want to alter this sequence. FX chains and ordering are discnssed in more detail in the next chapter. 

Reverb is a delay-type effect and is similar in many ways to the Simple Delay and Multi-Tap Delay FX.
