Man that is such a hard question to answer. Completely depends on the genre, the guitar tone, lead/rhythm, etc.

I'm a lot like our fearless leader Johnkenn . . . I find what works and then get plagued by doubt, and ask questions! I kinda think that's a healthy mind at work! |

Ok, so I think a bit of lush room might work best for most. Subtlety is key though. Not enough to be distracting, but enough to support the guitar in the mix. I think spring reverbs are a bit too much like fast delays and you always end up putting too much in a mix to make it noticeable.

If the spring is good, use it. Maybe dialed back some so there's room for a stereo reverb addition on top.

On country tracks, I usually throw on the t-racks space echo or the audio thing space echo. Then I can add a little slap and some spring. Or do big spring on one side guitar and delay on the other. |

If it’s an ethereal part, the guitar player will usually already have it dialed in.

I usually reach for a plate first, if it’s an electric guitar. Acoustic will get a room verb and a plate.
Never really mess with spring reverb, although maybe I should?

I like a bright chamber with a quick decay time. Or, just like, a real room mic.

My favorite is by far a chamber on Guitar. Nothing beats the depth feeling.
Layer in a shimmering plate too and delay to appease the rock gods when called for.

if i want it i will always record it on the way in. mostly using the spring reverb on my fender amp. or alternatively i use the boss fender spring reverb pedal.
a guitar player plays different with reverb so it gets recorded with.
i don‘t use a amp room mic. that gets added later in the mix so i can make it fit with the other reverbs.

I just blindly assumed we were talking electric guitar and with that in mind, I assumed spring! Usually it's pretty clear to me once a track is laid down if it needs reverb or not, or at least if it needs less than a lot! I've got a Vox AC15 and a Fender Princeton Reverb II... the reverbs between those two amps are impressively different from each other and so again, they kinda call the shots pretty immediately once guitar recording has begun.
Otherwise, no set preference about other types of reverb. It's a song by song decision...

yes, I was primarily thinking of electric guitars. . .
when it comes to acoustic guitars? Whatever you're using on drums or your mix doesn't seem to glue together.
Here's a visual from 10-15 years ago:
Unless you get the acoustics in the corset with the drums, they come out like a muffin top, or a dropped tube of pillsbury dough.

I can't vote for multiple choices!
Who uses only one treatment :-)

Been playing with the "Brick Wall" setting in the 480 plug I have. I think it's the Relab one? Anywho, works great on a LOT of guitars across a surprising range of genres.
I also have a pretty rad preset I made for the Quantum reverb plug. That thing is exceptional, btw, for anyone who hasn't tried it. But it's a massive CPU hog.

My pleasure, that'll be $5 please 🤣 In all seriousness, yes, this community is worlds better than GS, because the collective (and varied) knowledge here is so exceptional. Which is my long winded way of saying, I appreciate you too, Ward! |

Amp spring on cleans is hard to beat. Pedal delay/verb in FX loop for leads (or in post if no loop) sometimes with some plate after to really put it in the cosmos. A sprinkle of short room (or room mics) to give a bit of realness to really upfront rhythms sometimes, if called for by the songs/mix/tones.

the iso booths in the ik sunset sound reverb plugin are also very good for pushing a miked guitar amp a bit back in the mix and give it a nice hug with a subtle room reverb.

For heavy guitar, I've had great luck with the Small Ambience preset on the Bricasti. It glues close-miked guitars to the rest of the track with no telltale signs of reverb.
