Looking for a good reverb pedal

I find myself in need of a good sounding reverb that can do everything from subtle to "spacy". Fun extra features are a bonus. I was looking at the Source Audio soundblox 2 reverb and the TC nova reverb. Can anyone give me their thoughts on these pedals or give me some other suggestions?

I don't own one but have tried and was very impressed with the Source Audio Dimension Reverb. Lots of options and controls. I currently own three reverbs and can achieve everything I want with those three. Here's what I use:

Boss RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay: has 4 different kinds of reverb with 100% wet mix if wanted. Also has a nice plate mode, all sound crisp and well digital. Can run delay and reverb.

Roland RE-20 Space Echo: has a Z-spring reverb, can sound VERY bouncy (can be envelope filter like). Warm and can also run delay and reverb.

MSLP delay/reverb/looper: uses a Belton Long brick, has controls for damp and size (can get VERY cave-like). Can run delay with mod, reverb and looper for a LOT of options.

If I'm feeling really spacey ill run all 3 and get lost in them....

I am a proud SA user and can't sing its praises loud enough. I'm pretty sure I have commented on nearly every reverb post on behalf of this pedal. Pair it with an expression pedal, and it goes beyond anything you can imagine. Loop and play over, adjust reverb times on specific notes, or whatever else you can think of.

I've got two total different recommendations.

Any newer line 6. For example the M series or the pod hd series. Sometime ill use a hall or other basic reverb. But I have a lot of fun using the particalverb and Octiverb. I even have a patch where I run one into the other and set the dry mix to zero so all you here is the reverb. I've been able to get a lot of the digitech space station sounds doing stuff like that.

As far as a simple stomp box my favorite by far is the hardwire rv7 really good sounding more natural reverb and the modulated reverb sounds amazing with bass. It doesn't suck tone at all.

not huge on reverb for bass. and i play in an ambient band...
but i really like the TC hall of fame. lots of options. there are more extensive ones out there. the guitarist in said band uses the Strymon Blue Sky and i LOVE that pedal. maybe check out that.
