I use a Verbzilla in front of my TT and I've been pleased with the results. I tend to keep my gain fairly low though. What I sometimes do when I want reverb with more distortion / od, is use my Blackstar HT Dual in front of the reverb. Works fine for my needs.

And while I find it does colour the sound it does it in a nice way, just like my Fender valve reverb tank. Adds real sparkle in fact - just what a clean(ish) sound often needs.
Thing is for me reverb isn't something I want to use with overdrive sounds anyway. Clean to light crunch sure, but dirty - I don't find I ever need or want it then. So putting it in front of the amp is never a problem for me.

I love my TT with my Danelectro Spring King Reverb (real springs!!). I usually play my Terror set to mild crunch (Clean if I play soft, dirty if I play hard). Gives a great dirty-surf-roger-dalish-kind-of sound with my Tele and Humbuckerstrat. I´m not into superclean reverbamps. Just personal prefrence.

As always, I will chip in with the suggestion of a Lee Jackson Mr Springgy, which is designed to sit in front of amps with no FX loop. Assuming you like the sound of blackface spring reverb, this is the pedal for you - I had a TT for a while and it sounded good with it.
