There are literally dozens of good chorus and/or reverb pedals to choose from, but personal preference dictates you test drive MANY before finding the ONE.

I have a Guyatone Mighty Micro Chorus which I enjoy a lot. Very versatile in a small and light package, crystal clear sound, very deep and lush. Very digital and wet sounding chorus, which I like for what I do. If you prefer a "warmer" chorus, maybe not the best choice. But I really enjoy it.

For reverb I used to own the EHX Holy Grail (in the original big aluminum case before they switched it to the Nano) and enjoyed it. Although its one downfall is that it only has a blend knob which doesnt allow for very much dialing in of the sound you want.

I have a Malekko Chicklet Spring Reverb, tiny package BIG sound. Love that pedal, full, lush and springy reverb and the two control really do a lot.

My most recent purchase is the Strymon BlueSky Reverberator. Nothing I can say can describe how amazing and versatile this pedal is. Small footprint, light but absolutely incredible. Got to their website and check out the demos. You will be floored by their sound quality. All of their pedals sound PHENOMENAL.


But, a +1 to the above posts. Try before you buy. See what works for you style, your gear etc etc. Hope this helps

In regards to chorus I have tried:
Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble
Boss CH-1 Super Chorus
Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus
EHX Small Clone
Boss PS-3

my fav is either my Boss BF-2 Flanger set into a chorus sound, EHX Stereo Music Man with Hazarai or the POG2 for chorus sounds...

Try out the TC Electronics stereo chorus/modulator/flanger. Pure analog goodness and no wall wart.

Actually I'm also searching for reverbo pedal at the moment. I've seen video of MARKBASS REVERBO on youtube. Sounds greate. Not shure that there is need for such advanced options. Yet don't know other reverb pedals for bass. Good luck!

I had EBS DynaVerb, but didn't like its sound. And most of the presets were useless (for me). Now I use Dr. Scientist Radical Red Reverb (RRR) - comparing it to the EBS DR. Scientist has MUCH fuller and less digital/metallic sound.
And inspite of its two knobs and one switch the RRR is much more tweakable.

for chorus, try the mxr black label chorus (also the analog chorus - same pedal different graphic!)
For reverb i found the Marshall reflector does really well
