Gimme 'verb, 'verb, 'verb...

I've never figured out how reverb doesn't make a bass sound worse, either.

Used in a recording or relatively quiet live situation to give an electric instrument a little of the vibe of an acoustic instrument. Not necessary in a reverby room like an empty church and a total waste of time in most loud live situations.

The verbs in the m9 are pretty great.

Thanks for all the help. I want control more than anything, so the EBS Dynaverb is a bit too basic, that said I probably don't need all you can get on the EHX Cathedral, so a happy medium's kinda what I need. Cheers.

Boss RE-20 Space Echo

Best analog reverb I've heard for a while is York Minster, but good luck buying it, the church of England have had it on their board for centuries now so it looks like a keeper.

Earthquaker Devices Ghost Echo.
Alien Space-O-Verb.

Both are awesome reverbs, but neither are necessarily on the cheap side of things. The Ghost Echo is around $165. The Space-O-Verb is around $266 or $275.

+1 on the Dr. Scientist RRR. Even the Mini RRR is pretty tasty. Again, both are pricey. The Mini RRR is $225.

EDIT: I'm going to add the Strymon Bluesky Reverb to my list. It's a very lush and amazing reverb that has a several knobs and switches. It has an infinite plate mode which has amazing sustain. This is probably the most expensive one on the list at $300. I'm probably not of any help listing the most expensive ones. Sorry!

Although, aside from all the expensive ones, the DigiVerb is another contender. At $100 (new), it has some awesome features. I like the reverse reverb and the little hall modes.

The Line6 M9 does have some great verbs. You'd get a variety of verb types, full control over them, and presets to easily recall, and real-time expression pedal control over the parameters. Plus the dozen's of other effects that are included.

i only came in this thread to see if anyone would point out that you seem to want delay...lay..lay...lay..

not 'verbrbrb


i like the EHX cathedral, a LOT

For a lower price point the Hardwire RV7 is an excellent reverb pedal.
Has four modes very useful for bass: Plate, Spring, Hall, Gated.
Reverse and Modulated are also fun to play with.

Get an old Alesis Quadraverb with a working screen. You can set the verbs to be 100% wet, you can modulate them if you wish (sounds huge) and you can set them to be either bass or treble bias, which is useful for bass as you can scoop out the low end of the verbs. Oh the thing can also do infinite trails.

It depends on what music you are going for. When you say you prefer analogue pedals is this just the typical "analogue MUST be better than digital" state of mind or because you have experience of the former/latter? By analogue do you mean spring? Do you want the 'boing' you get from a spring reverb? Try that Danelectro pedal that is a spring tank fortified with a simple analogue delay circuit.

The VanAmps Sole Mate is a really nice (real) spring reverb pedal with dwell control. Expensive though....

It's more the fact that analogue has a bit less to go wrong, like with a digital pedal there;s all the software as well as hardware, and from my experience this ca be trouble if a digital pedal goes wrong, which is the main concern for me.
