Best reverse + shimmer reverb pedal on a tight budget?

I know this months later, but I am surprised no one has brought up the Digitech Polara. Yeah, it's a little more than 100, but barely, used on Reverb. Still cheaper than a lot of alternatives. Has both shimmer and reverse.

GEAR:
  • Fender Toronado Deluxe
  • ZVEX Vexter Series Fuzz Factory
  • Blackstar Debut 50R 1 x 12-inch 50-watt Combo Amp

Now that this thread has been necroposted I read the whole thing and there was some real insanity in here. Wow. Things were simpler when I was starting out. I think there are too many options these days... you shouldn't be this distracted by rig decisions, getwhat you can afford and make your own sound with it. Be yourself,be original. I've heard shimmer verb, we've been doing it in the studio since before I was old enough to get served at the bar, once something becomes a preset from every manufacturer it's time to move on,... do I like my fancy gear? Sure. Did I make music with a single squire strat and a soundtank ts5 or a broken down radio shack poorman'smoog as a kid? You bet. Did we record through a shack mixer to a pawn shop tape deck in a basement with microphones we got at yard sales? Check.

Telling a guy with 1 practice amp to build a wet dry wet rig? Uncheck

What was my point? I don't know anymore. Take what you will from it.

The HoF and the whole toneprint family? Great value for dollar. The whole idea is brilliant and they sound pretty decent. Looks like the OP got a zoom multi. Cheers! There was a zoom rack unit in every mid level studio in the 90s. Quality working man's gear. Everyone should get what they can get and use the hell out of it. Every piece has undiscovered sounds hiding inside waiting for musical context. Work that multistomp to death dude! Rock the fuck on.

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard

Oh thanks for the suggestion! I ended up buying the Zoom MS-70CDR in the end though, really enjoying it!

Thanks! I did get the Zoom MS-70CDR in the end, that was the best option both for my budget (especially as I could sell a couple of old pedals as well to save cash), and seems overall the best, as well as the shimmer and reverse reverb I'm making use of some of the other effects it has too :D no regrets with this pedal! I have yet to try it in stereo, and start recording with it too

And true, we all start somewhere! Most of my instruments were under $200 and I can't really afford any higher end instruments (the most expensive was probably my $600 custom strat), but still it's the music that really counts, most people listening to it don't even care what gear I'm using haha!
