reverberator

Acoustic bounce device

A reverberator is something that causes sound, light, or other effects to reverberate—to bounce back, echo, or spread repeatedly.

The term appears most often in audio engineering, where a reverberator is a device or software that adds artificial echo or ambience to recorded sound: The studio's plate reverberator gave the vocals a warm, spacious quality.
