Looking for a nice Reverb Pedal

[Floyd Delmonika]

I'm looking for A reverb pedal I'd like to keep it under 200 but if you have any recommendations over that price point I'll take those as well. I play a kinda of surf rock with my friends and I was looking for a pretty killer reverb to knockout to that euphoric vibe.

Also I'm looking for an envelope filter if anyone has any recommendations on those I'd like to hear them as well. Thanks

IMO the single best bass reverb is the Invalid Link Removed It’s $215 direct from the maker and worth every penny. Designed from the ground up for bass and baritone range instruments.

Yes, anything from the Chase Bliss or Iron Ether catalogues are really top tier gear.

Your choice in reverb also depends on what you want to use it for. A bit of long hall reverb is great and at one end of the scale and can be done with simple £50 units. Where as "Carnegie Hall" reverb on the H9 is well into the other end of the scale in terms of depth, magnitude, ambience and clarity. The better reverbs have a clarity to them that allows you hear your bass without added textural mud.

In terms of generic reverb, there are so many offerings these days....it's become the new "overdrive pedal" market.
If you want the best floor pedal units, look to Strymon (Bluesky or Big Sky) or Eventide (H9....buying just the reverb algorithms). Although those are over your budget...they will be the last word in Reverb. The H9 is amazing because it can do so much more and it's a good entry point in a deep well of digital processing. The Empress Reverb gets a lot of love over in the Guitar forums for good reason.

On the next tier there are many dedicated small stompers like MXR Reverb, Tc Electronics Hall of Fame. Most large companies have reverb offerings and they are mostly very good. One product stands out in my mind is the Neunaber Immerse. It's very tweekable and has a lot of great sounding presets. It's also bang on your budget.

At the other end of the scale are the micro pedals (like the Mooer shimmer) and these are great if you just want a little ambience or hall. They don't carry the same level of clarity or control...but are just the tonic if you are looking for small, cheap and "does what it says on the tin" but nothing else. One stand out in this bracket is the Zoom MS-70CDR...a very nice pedal and covers a lot of ground. Not as clear as the top tier stuff and lacks expression or Midi control...but it's a fine product.

If it was my money, I would be looking S/H and towards the upper end of the market.

I don’t really know about reverb for bass but after trying quite a few envelope filters the EBS Bass IQ is what works best for me. The high Q filter gives you some quack and then the up and down filters are more smooth sounding. I use all three settings, they sound great to me and there’s some internal trimpots to dial in the exact tone you’re looking for.

I use a Boss RV-3 for darker, ambient stuff. Has a “cold” tone that people either love or hate. But I think it helps keep the bass frequencies from getting too muddy.

Another option is the Digitech Polara. That thing is gorgeous and very natural sounding with a lot of usable modes.

 

[TheLowDown33]

Digitech Polara, TC Hall of Fame 2, Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master (or any other reverb they make) or the Red Panda Context are definitely worth looking into as well.

 

[Marial]

Not in your price range but I absolutely love the EQD Avalanche Run. Bonus delay included.

The IE Nimbus is hard to beat, though.

 

[Havard Ramses]

For reverb i totally love the Tc Arena and TC T2.

I’ve tried many Envelope pedals and the Mxr was a keeper for me

YES, TheLowDown33 is RIGHT ON, Another vote for the Earthquaker Dispatch Master! Gives you great verb AND also Delay (use seperate OR together)! Both VERY GOOD Together, many have yet come to realize the CLOSE RELATIONSHIP between the two! Replaced 2 pedals with the Dispatch Master and the sound is fantastic on verb & Delay! Check it out!

 

[TheLowDown33]

About the Dispatch Master, the reverb is simple in control but oh so good. It's a plate style reverb, which i personally prefer. I actually liked the Dispatch Master so much I upgraded to an avalanche run. I then made the mistake of running my dispatch master INTO my AR...which lead me to the empress echosystem. Definitely overkill for most applications, but if you can't find the sound you want in there you probably don't need it. Bottom line is, delay and reverb is the aural equivalent of peanut butter and chocolate.

Dunwich Gravity Well preorder if you don't need it right away and you play with lots of distortion

I love my MXR M300 for reverb.

I have a Solid Gold Funk Lite for envelope. I like it, but I'm not a envelope guy most of the time. It doesn't get too crazy, but it can get a good quack!

 

[willsellout]

Personally I found the reverbs on the Zoom MS60B were useful and fun. For envelope filter my choice is the Broughton Audio Josh Wah. There isn’t a filter that I can think of that’s better overall.

 

[JimmyM]

I absolutely love the MXR Reverb I got not long ago. Has 6 different verbs, will do surf tones and more, sounds amazing.

 

[Korladis]

I love my Hungry Robot "The Wash."

It is above $200, as the version I have, with the tap tempo (it's a delay and reverb in one unit) costs $249. But it's great.

If you're looking for something more affordable, and simple, I recommend the EHX Holy Grail Nano. Besides the footswitch, it just has a toggle for what kind of reverb you want (spring, hall, "flerb") and a knob for how much you want.

I have an IE nimbus and it’s incredible but currently I’m head over heels for the SA ventris. Just amazing.

 

[Floyd Delmonika]

I'm probably gonna go with the iron ether nimbus like the first guy mentioned because that's not to much over my price range thanks for everyone's advice
