I've never been a big reverb guy but could really use some throughout the night on certain tunes.

Are there any good reverb pedals out there?? I tried a Holy Grail a couple years ago and it didn't seem to do the trick. I'm not going to buy a rack unit or a Fender Reverb unit either, I just don't need it that bad but would love to be ableto get a nice spring reverb sound when I needed it

Get a good delay and just turn the time down. You will get a lot more mileage out of a delay IMO. Then again this is coming from a guy who doesn't care for reverb live either. Being able to have a slapback delay would be cool with your current gig.

As far as just a reverb I don't have any experience with external reverb except for my old Alesis rack units.

This stand alone pedal (lexicon?) type looks extra coolio

I use a boss dd-3 to make my amp sound thicker...

People like the T-Rex room-mate, though it's a tad pricey. I'm pondering the TC Electronics Nova Verb; I just bought their Nova Mod pedal and it's very good, I think. Otherwise, just go cheap and get a Boss Digiverb.

For the price, that does look good. True-bypass, too, allegedly

T Rex Roomate is the best pedal Reverb unit if you can afford it IMHO.

I really dig my Dr. Scientist Reverberator.



Definitely worth checking out! Great sounding reverbs, and the Rotary setting is a neat bonus that sounds great! No spring setting, but you won't miss it . 9v powered, true bypass, no noise, top jacks, studio sounds.

This one is probably very nice:

I was a longtime Fender spring reverb devotee...
I now reeeally love using the HAll setting on either the reboxed Holy Grail or better yet the EBS Dynaverb ...

the Hall gives sort of a natural initial attack and then gets big later , it also relieved my need for a delay , tho I really like a delay into the hall setting to give that concerty lump in the reverb

chased this awhile back and the EBS Dynaverb was pretty good and came in a small package but had a bit of tone suck going on...

the Vanamps verb pedals have interested me for awhile but in the end I went with a Deep Blue Delay set for a pseudo reverb sound...works and sounds great...

Vanamps SM & RM

Line 6 Verbzilla and if you buy it soon you get a free module. Lots of good models of reverb and new ly invented ones.

i don't know,i have 2 tanks,but if i'm feeling lazy,i dig the 'grails spring setting.

I use a Van Amps Sole Mate.

it is so, so good...real spring reverb....check it out

So many reverb stomps out there. You'd probably want something natural sounding. Of course, here's my point of view.
Sometime I have to take myself out of a composition, mentally, to see if an effect is needed or can be even used. Point is, if you feel you might need it, start with a cheap unit and start experimenting. A lot of times I'll start messing around with my Boss verb and make something spacey and smooth.

Inspiring, these pedals could be. Have fun experimenting.

I've been using a Holy Grail Plus for awhile now, and I think it's "fine." However, I think I'm going to sell it & get a Lee Jackson Mr. Springgy... it's not versatile, but all I want out of a reverb pedal is amp-like reverb. The Sole-Mate looks to be the sh1t, and that would be a consideration too, but the Springgy is small, only 1 knob, and runs off std. 9V.

I'm not really a Tech21 fan, but the Boost RVB is amazing. I've had one on my board for about 6 months. I've been through all the Boss verbs, an EH Holier Grail a Little Lanilei and a reissue Fender tube verb. The Boost RVB totally killed the Fender tube RI (and the others by a longshot) to my ears. The Holier Grail was very good, but worked best in an effects loop (which I don't have), and was huge.

The Boost RVB is not TB, but the buffer is very good. It's last in my chain and always on, so the boost control is a nice addition. You can get very analog-sounding tones with the tone knob. It can do great room and hall verbs as well as a convincing spring sound with the feedback knob.
