Simple explanation, please
I'm getting my first electric. Probably a Epi or Samick Les Paul style. Thinking of going with a small(<50 watt) tube amp with reverb. Some I've seen have a dedicated connection for a foot switch, others do not, but are spec'd to use an optional switch. None of the latter explain how to connect it, though. I would be playing clean 90% of the time, at home with 1 or 2 other players with similar needs. Please explain the use of pedals for turning reverb on/off while playing. Thanks

Hmm. Most foot switches I have seen are for switching between a clean channel and a dirty channel on an amp. You would have to read the specs on your amp to see if the reverb is do-able. I guess you could set one chanell for clean with reverb and the other without. You could also buy a reverb pedal. There are some extremely good ones out there.

So you think the easiest and less confusing way to go is an amp w/o reverb, then add it with a dedicated type accessory pedal?

I don't really have much experience tweaking reverb on the fly. Most players I know use it for a background effect and set and forget it. If they need to change their reverb often during a set, they will go with a pedal or effects patch switch pedal. Going with a pedal in my opinion is a lot simpler for changing the amount of reverb on the fly. Most amps have some kind of reverb built in though they vary in quality. Some of the older vintage amps don't though.
