Gated reverb sound

Can it be confirmed that the Mondo Bondage snare sound involves gated reverb? To me it sounds more like reverb through a compressor with an external key, or reverb with a pre-delay. In gated reverb, the “tail” of a sound cuts off abruptly; here it appears to decay evenly. Lemko. 00:59, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

I agree. There is delay before the onset of the reverb sound. A digital effect today would have this "predelay" as an available parameter built into the device. However this was released in 1975 and digital effects were not yet available, so this effect was likely achieved by running a delay (probably tape) between the effects send and the reverb unit (which was probably a plate).

The sound on the Tubes record is somewhat similar to an effect used on Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water. Pudoodoo (talk) 18:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

It's not a gated reverb. After attack, gated reverb sustains the signal at or near the same level for a few milliseconds before abruptly cutting off. "Mondo Bondage" uses delay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulshrug (talk • contribs) 08:43, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
