Delay + Reverb Pedal Options

I had a Nebula for a while, find a used Boss RV3 instead. Or better yet, find a used RV3 and a Nebula for the price of a new nebula. The nebula is super limited in that both sides are very simple.

 

He's an awesome dude, and the last thing I want to do is take away his business, I just think that in that price range you're better off looking at boss and other used options because you'll get more bang for your buck/real estate

 

For just a bit more:

-Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master
-Source Audio Dimension reverb
-Red Panda Context

Definitely should check out the Dispatch Master (delay and reverb).

 

Another vote for the Dispatch Master. I have one and use it mainly for reverb. Don't let the single "reverb" knob fool you... if you dial the Repeats knob down to zero, the delay disengages and you have a full-featured three-knob reverb that can go from minimal to crazy.

 

I haven't used the Dispatch Master myself but I've heard amazing things and the EQD pedal I have is absolute top notch.

 

What about the Electro Harmonix Holy Stain. Inexpensive but seems pretty cool. I nearly got one but can get what I'm after with my Vox Stomlab. I might get one next year though, ah....never satisfied...

 

I have the dispatch master and use it just like you said you wanted: some slap back and ambient reverb.

 

I own the Boss Rv-3 and have to admit its awesome. I stricly use it for delay+reverb settings as I have several delay pedals but being able to mesh 2 effects in one stompbox is very useful. Have not had any time with a Dispatch Master but from what I've seen and heard its a great pedal as well

 

If money is no object, the Neunaber Stereo Wet is said to be a fantastic reverb. I want to play with one. And the stereo version allows you to load software and turn it into any one of the Neunaber stereo pedals - reverb, shimmer reverb, echo, and chorus.

 

As a bass player you should try an Iron Ether Nimbus. It´s a great reverb that can go from light to really ambient spacey sounds. Not easy to grab one and over 200$ but IMHO one of the best bass reverb available.

 

Dispatch Master.

 

Not me, sorry. You'll want to make sure a particular reverb pedal works well with bass. I have tried reverb pedals that sounded great with guitar and offered some really cool features (like reverb tails that you could play clean on top of) that didn't work well with bass. Features that work with guitar can get way too boomy, muddy, or poorly defined with a bass. That has been my experience anyway.

Maybe contact Mr. Black and ask about using the pedal with a bass. I've had pedal manufacturers record the pedal being used with bass to try to answer my questions. Cheers
