Bass Reverb Pedal.

I bought an EBS Dynaverb from a Talkbasser and never looked back.
It's awesome, though brand new its overpriced - but it's built like a tank, has a small footprint, takes a 9 volt or standard power supply and sounds amazing.
 
I 100% recommend the Boss RV3 (Digital Reverb/Delay). The tone is on the "brighter, colder" side, but it cuts through a live band mix wonderfully (both during loud and quiet songs). It's a pretty diverse pedal too... it has 3 delay modes, 4 delay/reverb modes, and 4 reverb modes AND can get 100% wet (for those spacey, ambient parts!). Can be found on ebay under 200
 
HOF or it's variants are pretty cool ... ( Trinity , Arena ) especially with the Tone Print option ...

I also would like to get a Supernatural reverb , ... but more for use on guitar and keys for those long chorused lush verbs ...
I prefer a shorter Spring type verb sound for bass ...

I would Only get something that your can program a bit ... and something that has a MIX or Blend knob ....!
 
Any other suggestions?

The Iron Ether Nimbus is a reverb made specifically for bass. It is simple, easy to use and sounds amazing. It can do the ambient thing too though it's not quite as tweakable as the Dimension. Also the newer ones have bass and treble controls for the reverb effect. Pricier than the Dimension but also quite nice.

There's a couple used for sale in the for sale section...

The Nimbus is worth every penny. I'm using a Context, but the trend I have found is that being able to cut the lows helps the reverb fit in. If you don't cut the lows they will take over in the reverb. That's either a good thing or a bad one.


Nimbus all the way. Get one used to save money.
 
My dad gave me a big sky over the weekend for my birthday.Its the best reverb I've ever used,so many options that I'll never figure out.
