Wwwhhhaaattt???This thing produces hall? What should that be good for in a car?
I think he is referring to it producing a hall effect. And it being inside the car.
It delays the signal to the rear speaker for a fraction of a second to simulate stereo sound. I have a reverberator in my '67 R/T that I pirated out of a 1966 Chrysler 300. It works OK for music, but it makes the announcer's voice sound "tinny".
What you think of as hall is exactly what this unit creates. You get the effect of reverberation off hard walls, it was supposed to make the radio sound richer.Right.
Okay thanks.
Well the name reverb is a bit misleading then, isn't it? At least i think of a hall effect when i read reverb.

I will add as a "pre-geezer" (and a modern day luddite) I sometimes can't comprehend the gadgets all the youngsters have today. When I first saw an electronic digital tire pressure gauge the first time I thought: Really? What's next? An electronic #2 pencil? Pretty simple stone age/analog devices. Also does everything need added uplinks to a smart phone?Some youngsters can't comprehend the gadgets old-timers had back in the day.
But... the "chopping up"... was fun. It was something we DID. With our bare hands. And when we were done... we were satisfied, at something we accomplished.Nowadays. A Fair sized bluetooth speaker and a download of lots of music saves inner doors and parcel trays from getting chopped up .
And sometimes those speaker holes were the end result of 80 - 100 little holes drilled all around the outline.But... the "chopping up"... was fun. It was something we DID. With our bare hands. And when we were done... we were satisfied, at something we accomplished.
