What's your favorite Reverb pedal?

[steve_man]

I currently have access to three different reverb pedals. I have a Boss Reverb, which sounds really good. The church I work for has has a Hall of Fame, as well as a Holy Grail reverb. All sound different, but all sound good, to my ears. I'd lean towards either the Boss or the Hall of Fame... but what is your favorite reverb pedal?

[Special J]

I recently swapped out my Holy Grail for a Hall of Fame. It was a good move. I think the Grail might have had a slightly more convincing spring reverb, but the HOF sounds better overall and is way more versatile.

[Grantus]

I'm with you on the Hall of Fame. Would like to try a Strymon BlueSky, they get a lot of love, but I'm happy with my Hall of Fame.

 

Churches should, of course, use Holy Grails.

Never owned a reverb pedal. If my amps didn't have reverb, I'd use a rack unit like an Alesis Midiverb.

I'd then have 100 different reverbs/echoes to choose from. They sound great running dual amps for pseudo stereo too.

I don’t have a reverb pedal, but all my EG amps have reverb, any/all of which work fine for me.

 

Sometimes in the music room I go straight into the mixer and use the PA reverb/delay.

 

I’m actually not fussy-- I just use a touch.

After owning most of what is on the market that is digital I finally settled on the Van Amps Sole Mate reverb. On my board in the pic the red box at the top right is the control head for it and the 3 spring tank is under the board. You can see a piece of black construction paper under the turbo tuner where I'm covering the tank so that nothing falls into it.

I just bought an older Holy Grail. What I like is the older units have separate components, like a real true by pass 9 pin switch and jacks that can be also replaced since they are not just stuck to a pc board. It is larger however. It sounds to be pretty good, not as cheesy as my Boss ME 50 effect and not quite like my tube driven spring reverb on my Deluxe.

T.C. Electronic has come out with some pretty amazing stuff... I'm actually thinking about selling off my Boss and getting the Hall of Fame. I like the versatility of it.... not that the Boss doesn't have lots of reverbs... I was pretty happy with the Boss until I started using the Hall of Fame a bit at church.

+1 for The TC Electronic Hall of Fame Reverb. Very versatile and quiet and I love that it only uses 9v. I prefer it over the tube spring reverb in a lot of my amps. I also love that you can download sounds to it off the internet.

Eventide Space or Hardwire Supernatural.

My Digitech RP-150 has Lexicon models that I really like. I mainly use the hall and room reverbs for recording.

[PurpleTrails]

Strymon Blue Sky. It's good enough that used ones go for about the same amount as new ones...basically no one who owns one ever sells it. So many really nice tones out of that box, from subtle to pretty extreme. Having said that, I wonder if the newish Big Sky is even better.

Is that just on the Tone Print version?

[guitarcapo]

Yea...Tone print. I went on their website and downloaded a bunch until I found one I like. I use that one mostly now. I can't remember the name of it. I think it was one of THESE:

I'm leaning towards buying a Mr. Black Deluxe Plus which is a combo of Reverb and Trem in a single pedal. Check out the youTube vid.

I have found that Amazon is the best place to pick TC Electronic pedals up... My flashback delay was nearly $40 cheaper than they were at GC... Some of these more "boutique" pedals are north of $200... that's a lot of change for a pedal...

[Jkater]

I have the Eventide Space. Pretty amazing unit. More amazing than I need....

My pic doesn't show in my last post, only a long text. Can you guys see the pic and it's just me? HC is not fixed obviously if posting a pic is such a hassle.

Another vote here for HoF. I had a Space, and sold it with the intention of replacing it with some new uber-toy but never did.

 

Hall of Fame has a bunch of reverbs, but not all are good. So I look at it as I got 2-3 really good reverbs for $119, and I'm happy with that. (FWIW, I am fond of the plate, church, hall and modern, though all are very different).

[Preacher]

Really like my Hardwire RV-7.

Wet Mono

[mbengs1]

I don't have a reverb pedal but i plan to get the TC hall of fame or the EHX Holy grail plus. or mayb the Boss RV-5 (its kinda weak though)

[steve_man]

My Boss sounds great... it really does. I really have no complaints about it at all. Just thinking about getting the HOF....

My opinion too. Plus with the Toneprint feature you can download one to your liking. they don't all have to be great for it to be a great pedal. Some of the less useful reverbs might mix better with other effects for all I know.
