I'm looking for a reverb pedal that suits bass. Personally I prefer analogue units, for the pure sound and not taking things to the absolute extreme, but I am open to really good digital delay units. Obviously, price is an issure, I'm looking up to about £125. Any ideas'd be good. |

The "church" mode, not on the Hardwire Reverb, is REALLY big, after a fuzz/dirt pedal, higher up on the neck...whew, beauty. My favorite is the "reverse" mode. Got mine used for 50 dollars, about 32 pounds. It is digital, but I dig it. |

I use it as a very, VERY subtle effect that you don't notice until you turn it off....like compression it gives a little life and sparkle (whatever TF "life and sparkle" means...) to my sound.
OP, it's maybe more than you wanted to spend but the T-Rex Roommate is an absolutely amazing sounding verb. Reverb units can be a touch sterile sounding but this one is not at all even when it's cranked way past where you'd ever usually use it. |

Also, most rooms have more reverberance than any bass player could need or want.
Still, there are rare times it works. The Boss is pretty cool. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Spartanburg, SC | | | I'm in the market for a reverb pedal too. I'm looking for flexibility. I need a delay too and I'm under the impression that some delay pedals also work great for reverb. I like having lots of parameters to fiddle with.
I'll be using it on bass and baritone guitar. I was leaning heavily towards an EHX Stereo Memory Man w/Hazarai. But I'm open to options and you guys are a wealth of information. I'd be happy to buy used as well.

This pedal has accurate tank spring emulation, too!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Auckland, New Zealand | | | There are a lot of good suggestions here, I'll add another one. I got a Marshall RF-1 reverb from another forum for 25 quid used. It's great, versatile, not clanky/awful digital sounding like some digital multieffects verbs I'd used. And the price was right!
There are some good demos on youtube. The RF-1 has a reputation for not being especially reliable, but mine has been going strong and I have no concerns - it's built like a brick.
