I need cheap but nice, warm reverb. I like ambient, but I need more space for fingerstyle on telecaster.
Which one do You recommend?
Marshall EH-1 Echohead guitar effect
Electro-Harmonix #1 Echo Digital Delay Pedal | Sweetwater
T-Rex Creamer Reverb at Gear4music.com
Or maybe something different?

Well, two of the three you linked are delays, not Reverbs.
It feels like you need a do-it all reverb. I would recommend a:
- Boss RV5/6,
- Digitech supernatural or polara,
- hardwire RV7,
- TC Hall of Fame.
If you hadn't mentioned ambient, an EHX Holy Grail variant (neo, plus) would also work.

You realize the first two choices are NOT reverbs, right?

For me is the best reverb money can buy. Any other choice will be not as good and probably more expensive.
You're welcome.

blille hit all my first choices out of the gate!

you can pick one up used for around $120

I bought and returned a TC Hall of Fame just last week. I used to have and love the first version, but the newer version has a weird switch that didn’t quite work for me and was defective to boot. I changed it for the Boss rv-6, which is built better and sounds nicer to me as well. The different modes on the HOF all sound more alike than on the Boss too.
IMHO of course...

For spring reverb, I like the CatalinBread "Topanga."
-
I have the HOF mini, and I like it a lot. It's small and easy to carry, although it requires external power, since it's too small to hold a 9V battery. I just use a regular 9V rechargeable battery in a cheap case that plugs into the HOF and is also light and small. The ability to quickly change the reverb from my phone is a big plus. I can go from ambient to surfy spring in a few seconds without ever touching the pedal. But mostly I leave it on either ambient or the TC default. There are hundreds of presets available for free. My main reasons for buying the mini version are the size and the price. They go for ~$70 new, less for used.

For cheap, TC or Digitech are ahrd to beat.
-
The older TC HOF is like $85 US these days, a price drop since the HOF2 came out. What a deal. i had asked for one of the old ones for Christmas but my wife got me the HOF2 instead. Spent about an hour experimenting with that today, jeepers. Without even touching the Toneprint and editing capabilities yet, there are some amazing sounds in this little box. Warm transparent tone with a huge amount of tweakability.

I've been using the Behringer DR400 for about 7 or 8 years and it works great. You get reverb and delay, both at the same time if you want it. IT's basically the same as the old Boss RV-3 that all the steel players use. Only about $40 and I've had great luck with mine - dead quiet and good effects.

Best 60€ I ever spent.

I had an EHX Holy Grail Plus and liked it. Wish I hadn't sold it...may get another at some point, probably a Nano.
-
My favorite straight out of the box is the Hardwire RV7 but when you add in availability of downloadable patches, the HOF and HOF Mini become easy winners. I'm using a HOF Mini now (bought mostly for size for our extended Mexican adventure) and I really wasn't a fan of the default sound but after spending an hour or so testing the downloadable patches I found several that worked well and one that was exactly what I wanted. It wasn't difficult to use and it just makes a huge different to the sound of the pedal.

I haven't turned on my Fender outboard reverb unit--the finest spring reverb ever created --since I started using a Holy Grail Nano. It doesn't sound like the Fender, but it sounds great in its own right.

One man's cheap is another man's expensive. Give us an approximate price ceiling. Originally Posted by sandal90

these are probably your correct answers, for things that are readily available, not super expensive and cover both normal and ambient reverbs. Originally Posted by blille

the dispatch master is the default "ambient in a box" and it comes with a fairly warm digital sounding delay but it is its own thing and not just a reverb pedal, per se. simple to use and all kinds of space for solo work, but it does get fairly modulated, too.
the tc electronic stuff is fine. a bit meh out of the box but plenty fine. however, if you inclined to mess with the app, you can pick or create whatever you want, which is pretty nice. sadly, their switches can be suspect, (and not fixable, i'm told) though.
-
Maybe not fixable, but certainly replaceable.

Okay, how about a Zoom MS 50 G? It has a load of reverb patches and a shit load of other patches too.

I use plate and compressor, really nice. A lot of pedal for your money and runs on 2 AA batteries.
Then they do a modulation pedal...

This pedal is out of production, but there are plenty used in good condition for sale on Reverb. The benefit of the RV-3, in my opinion, is that in addition to 3 flavors of Reverb (room, hall, plate) also includes digital delay. It was through this pedal that I find that in many cases I actually prefer delay to reverb.

I'm very wary of TC Electronics stuff. I had bought a bass amp with the TonePrint feature, which was great for a few months but then just randomly stopped working. I was told it would probably be easier to buy a new amp than to get it fixed, so I hacked an input jack into the speaker box and got a used Hartke head on Craigslist. No problems since.

that's why my next reverb pedal is going to be analog. it'll have all the halls and rooms and plates inside.
well, truthfully, i've been experimenting with plug in reverbs as of late. $29 for the abbey road reverb plate and it sounds better than any physical thing i've used. just way harder to use. and it lives in my computer, so there's that, too.
just ordered one of these to anchor my acoustic/busking pedal board. check back with me later. i suspect that it'll do well enough. probably akin to the tc electronic stuff in that it is solid but perhaps slightly lackluster compared to the fancy boutique stuff. but, for the savvy, you can turn it into whatever you want. and there's a bunch of them. in one box. that runs on batteries.

Although not on the list, if you want an old school reverb like a Fender spring, I love my Topanga. I did a lot of research first. The builders designed it for the sound of an old Fender tank.
