Reverb Pedals

everyone loves the EHX holy grail line.... TC's hall of fame has all the excellent halls and plates TC is famed for and having owned some of their rack units I can say they are great sounds if you like reverb

another good way to go is playing stupid loud so that whatever room you are in produces plenty of its own reverb LOL

don't discount a nice warm slap echo as a form of reverb either... its often the way to go for clarity with ambience in small venues

Agreed! TC are the reverb masters.. Strymon are lush and all but the average punter in a crowd will not pick the difference for all the extra $$ you lash out. Earthquake Devices also ... but choose wisely.

I've literally had TC's plate sim against a real EMT plate in a studio and in the mix we are talking negligible difference for guitar purposes.... they can be dialed in to sound very close other than a slight artificial sheen to the top end of the TC sound that thru guitar speakers will likely be inaudible unless you are standing right next to the amp

The Digitech Polara seems to have a good following, but I grew with Digitech's Supernatural reverb. Much heavier reverb and very great ambient sounds to it.

I really like the Holy Grail though I don't own one. However I do own a H.O.F and it works well for the ambient and ethereal stuff I do. It is cheap enough. I also will use the reverbs on the Line6 M9 that I bought use for $250 but for around a $100 you can beat the H.O.F. from TC. With Toneprint you can download from your computer or phone reverbs you can't get from other pedals. Using Toneprint connected to your computer you can create a reverb as good if not better than a Strymon. With that said stock H.O.F may not be as good as a Strymon you will have to put so work and effort to get it where you want.

From what I've tried, I would definitely recommend the TC Hall Of Fame. This TonePrint thingy is amazing, and I think that HOF isn't really pricey after all... I also like DigiTech Polara, and I would choose that, but still, HOF has this TonePrint thingy and it is pretty good at it!

the toneprint software for my Flashback X4 is fabulous.... its infinitely tweakable... people who have a strong preference for strymon for simulated old school delay haven't dug into the toneprint editor thoroughly.... the presets on the Flashback are not up to strymon standards but if you start fiddling around with the software you can make better simulations and even get some really whacked out sounds from these TC pedals

I assume the reverb is just as ass-kicking in its editability

Honestly, I've actually considered getting one of those mini Flashback delays just so I can get a toneprint of a reverse delay.

the flashback has a great reverse mode
