Many reverb algorithms have a tendency to boost low frequencies in weird ways*. Cutting low freqs going into a reverb can make the sound a lot smoother, less boomy/muddy. >Try EQ >_after_ the reverb. This will have a dramatic effect on the tonal shape of the sound, but if you don't EQ the sound before, many times you're just shaping a sound that has lots of weird resonances. EQ'ing _before_ helps the "character" of the reverb sound. >Try EQ >_after_ the reverb. I would suggest EQ'ing before _and_ after! *-OK perhaps this should read: "Many reverb algorithms have a tendency to emphasize low frequencies in naturalistic ways" But of course there is a difference between "naturalistic" and "musical."
