Hello everyone, I'd need to add a reverb pedal to my set (Strat/PRS+pedal chain+Orange AD-30 TC), what you suggest for?
Thanks in advance, Gio

Solemate is good. Lee Jackson Mr. Springgy is pretty good in a smaller package as well.

For a cheaper alternative, the Boss RV5 was reviewed decently...

The Marshall reflector is good, i really like it. The Boss 65 fender reverb is apparently really good too but apparently the line 6 reverb is awesome despite many negative associations on this board to line 6.

Hi all and 1st of all thanks all of U for "directions"
for Kitten: sole-mate is really good but hard to find in my country, and i's too expensive. moreover it's an all spring rev, using a lot of distortion, may need a more "deep space"
for blackclound: mr.springgy is good, but I prefer sole-mate, and however it's expensive!
for admiral: rv-5 it was my 1st choiche but I read contrasting reviewes, do U have personal opinion?
for danbond: reflector is a bit too cold for my ears, and I read some reliability issues.
I'm considering Holy Grail and Holy Stain and Rv-7 form hardwire.
Any opinion?
Again many thanks to all!

Van Amps Sole-Mate or the new Boss '63 Reverb FRV-1.

I don't know wether it would be my reverb of choice but I dig the Octo setting on the Line 6 Verbilla. It shifts the reverb signal an octave up and leaves the dry signal untouched. Great organ-like sounds if you play single notes!

No personal opinion - I have reverb on both my amps - just hearsay.

Hi all, and T H A N K S all!
I'd the chanche to give a try to a borrowed RV-5 with all my complete setup: it works, it doesn't hiss and doesen't loss volume. Works fine on cleans and with dist: I could notice some "sound artifacts" (like water sparkling) with clean tone in spring mode. if I'll could give a try to hardwire rv-7 I'll be ready to decide.
All boutique pedals are fine but too risky and expensive to buy them online without a direct try.
Does any AD30TC user can suggest else?
Again thanks guys!

To the amps, yeah, but to the pedals, no way. At least not from this Line 6 Echo Park user, I love my Echo Park pedals. :)

The Line 6 is good for people who like to tweak the sound. That Soul Mate reverb box looks very cool. I bet it's pricey though, no?

Doesn't Danelectro make some fancy-but-cheap reverb pedal?
