Reverb Pedals

[Skip Ellis]

I'm going from a combo amp back to a head (Quilter 101) and cabinet.

What's the reverb pedal of choice these days in the under $150.00 range?

I'm still happy with my cheapo Behringer DR400 reverb/delay but thought I might look into a better reverb pedal.

Any thoughts on the FRV-1?

[morroben]

I use the FRV-1 in the loop on my 65 Amps Tupelo. I have it set very low, just to make up for not having onboard reverb. I've had the pedal about 4 years and like it and haven't found any reason to change.

Frv1 is great if all you need is spring reverb

Which sound(s) are you after?

TC Hall of Fame? If you don't need to quickly switch between types of reverb (like hall to spring), you can get the one-knob HOF mini and download a toneprint of your choice.

BTW, it sounds like you already have the Quilter 101 Mini. The new version of it, which is in the pipeline, has reverb.

I like the hall of fame. The spring isn't the best, but I don't like spring reverb, generally.

I volunteer to be the guy who suggests a pedal double your limit! The Strymon Flint is $300 but it's a double pedal, reverb and tremolo. 3 classic reverbs and three classic trems.

Thanks for this! I can now recommend a Fender Reverb tank (why settle for emulation?).

I see your tank and raise you with a real studio plate reverb!

I've been using a Hardwire RV-7 for several months (since my HOF was murdered by a lightening strike). I like it a lot, probably more than any other reverb pedal that I've tried. I don't believe it's made anymore but they come up on the used market all the time for very reasonable prices.

The Strymon Flint was nice (if you like them, which I do) but I found it way more complicated than I liked and ended up returning it fairly quickly.

I've been meaning to try the Earthquaker Dispatch Master. You can combine some delay with your verb in one small footprint, which I really like.

So which would you choose between the Hardwire and the HOF?

Happy Digitech Polara user here.

But I must admit, the Dispatch Master and the Flint are on my radar

Another RV-7 fan. They pop up fairly regularly on the Steel Guitar Forum in the $80 range. Bet if you posted in the "Want to Buy" section you'd find one.

The EHX Holy Grail will fit the bill. Excellent product. Widely available on the used market as well for <$100.

Hardwire.

I agree.

It's also a common add-on for other EHX pedals in case you would also be interested in a boost/OD (Soul Food in Turnip greens) or something else.

I've got one of these, great pedal.

I'll add my vote for this one. I have the Holy Grail Nano. It does a great job.

[joaopaz]

Plus one for the TC HoF.

I don't have the Hardwire reverb, but I have the Delay and it's a wonderful pedal. If the Reverb is in the same league I'll vote for it, too .

Bit narrow minded here since I only like plate reverb but........ Catalinbread Talisman is fabulous.

Strymon Flint looks interesting, to me.

I'm going to be gigging again with my trusty early-90s Polytone MiniBrute III. No reverb. The amp is built like a tank. It has done about a couple of thousand gigs over the past 20 years and is still rock solid. The Flint might add some real versatility to it--and would be a heck of a lot easier to tote around than my Peavey Valverb rack unit from the early 90s...or my outboard Fender tube reverb unit.

[Frank67]

The EHX Holy grail is very nice. Lush and full. The HOF is nice too but the spring reverb is meh. I like the plate reverb. I also like the Boss FRV-1. Even better but more pricey is the Mad Professor silver spring which I prefer over the real spring reverb of my Twin reverb.

[powerwagonjohn]

I have an orig. 64 Reverb Tank but bought a Catlinbread Talisman which I heard about here. It gives me just what the tank doesn't. that is a plate reverb plus a clean boost. It was just what I was looking for. YMMV
Thanks John

I like the Catalinbread "Topanga!"

For the OP: you can find used ones at your price, or check out Catalinbread on Reverb.com -- they often sell "seconds" that are just as good!

Pricey, perhaps, but love Neunaber.
