I have a Digitech RV-7, which uses Lexicon reverbs and sound really good. It can operate on a 9v battery (not for long, though), which is somewhat useful. No delay, though. The Boss RV-5 is quite good, and also has a delay; it's a little noisy (don't own one, but have used a friend's a lot). I have an old Boss RV-2, which was the only game in town for years. Sounds OK, but noisier than the others. They can be had used for well under your price point.

$ for $ I think the Fender Reissue Unit is the best reverb out there. The only reason I don't use one is that I built a few of them about ten years ago for myself and friends and family. It's actually cheaper to just buy a Fender RI unit second hand, but I expect the hand-built unit will last just about forever.

Touring players tend to choose TC, EHX & MXR because they are easily replaced - anywhere. Gear fails!

One has to really live reverb ti carry one of those instead of a pedal...

The big advantage of the fender tank and the valveverb (I have owned the real tank, the RI, and the valveverb at one time or the other) is the tone control, which almost all new or booteek pedals lack. Given the mild complaints about brightness that show up above, I wonder why it is not a common option any more. I always rolled the reverb tone back, first thing, when I had the option.
-
A few of them have at least a single tone control (including the full sized HOF and its derivatives). There just isn't enough physical space on conventional sized pedal for the array of controls that are on the Valveverb and Peavy used that space incredibly well. My only complaint with it was that it was very shock sensitive and prone to the exploding reverb noises. My hope was that they would use the entire concept as the front end on a whole series of amps. That was their stated plan when they brought it out but all they ever put it in was the two versions of the Delta Blues. Originally Posted by nopedals

Also I had the two tc Electronic Hof (the mini sounds better I dont know why) and the Earthquaker Levitavion reverb (very sweet reverb) but I keep the Mr Black
Yes I m a verb Fan

How's the trem on the Mr. Black. Can it do a traditional blackface sound? Originally Posted by Arnesto

It just requires a short coax cable with a female RCA jack on one end and a male phono plug on the other. Dialing back the treble allows you to turn up the reverb without it getting all "surfy". It's very easy to set up and doesn't harm the amp. Originally Posted by nopedals

I do this with my DRRI. Works like a charm!
-
yes! it`s very similar to the DRRI Tremolo, I test both with a friends DRRI and its very similar Originally Posted by Jim Soloway

Thanks. That may be just the thing for me. I love trem and I really miss it. I tried a Strymon Flint for a while and I just found the controls way more complicated than I wanted. I like how simple this one looks. It means you always know exactly at a glance what you're going to get. Originally Posted by Arnesto

if it is of any comfort, i have heard it described as a "simplified/poor man's flint" a few times. i haven't played it myself, i have another one of their pedals, and they are good with customer service and communication. Originally Posted by Jim Soloway

I have a Zoom MS70CDR Multistomp(chorus, delay, reverb), and it's got lots of offerings, in all 3 departments, and gets quite high marks too. I like it. Is $119 street, right now, I think. One thing (this is NOT reverb) is reverse delay, which, if you ever get into North Indian Classical Music meanderings, and are using a looper, is nice for creating those tanpura like drones. Shawn Lane (RIP) used this to great effect (no pun),,,back to reverb, it has a number of modeled known units, and all offer good sound, and all have adjustable parameters, though there's a slight, fairly painless, learning curve to using it.

The Zoom is an excellent pedal.

Once you have your 3 "modes" all set up, can you quickly turn them off and on individually, and quietly? As well as all at once? Originally Posted by jorgemg1984

I'm not sure I understood your question... you can have 6 fx at the same time (assuming you don't overload dsp capacity). The foot switch turns the current fx on the chain on or off - but you can't do turn on or off more than one fx at the time.. you need to bend and select another fx to turn it on or off. As I need two on / off fx sometimes (reverse delay and auto swell) I just use two zooms, since they are quite cheap. All my other fx are always on, so no worries.
If I didn't reply to your question, just say so

In pit work youoften need to switch sounds very quickly, as well as sudden silence. Say I had chorus, slight delay, and reverb going. Can I quickly turn it off to get a sudden silence at the end of a chord? (To cut off the verb/delay.) Originally Posted by jorgemg1984

Some of the fx have trails on or off - see the manual. Trails off means silence when the fx is set to off.
You can't switch off three fx with one hit of the fsw unfortunately... not a good pedal for that.
-
You can set up several banks of them,,with different combinations,,and switch between them, or, turn off. Several banks of different combos,,,,a number of them, in fact,,so one bank with reverb only, another with,,etc. etc. up to 4 or 5 at once, in any bank,,,,

Tnx to both of you.
