One of the best, if not the best, reverb pedal out there
This pedal has 6 different types of reverb (4 modulated) where most reverb pedals of the same price or more will only have one of them, and they all sound great. It is an excellent practice tool that greatly outperforms the built-in reverbs of amps, and it sounds huge. I'm currently in the process of figuring out how to properly record songs with it, as most people online will tell you that recording with delay and reverb pedals are big no-no's (the "record as dry as possible and add delay/reverb in post" principle), but so far, I am greatly impressed.
Works great for single-tracked centered guitar ambient leads, and I will revise this review when I've figured out how to properly record it, as reverb pedals tend to operate like compression in reverse (your quietest parts become faint and your loudest bits will rattle your speaker cabinet) and when I've tried it on my fretless bass. Only complaint is that it drains the 9V battery inside pretty quickly, but that's easily resolved with a power supply.
Overall, it is a wonderful sounding and creative pedal.

Ambience galore
if you like thick, warm reverb, this is a fantastic yet affordable option. Those who are familiar with genres like post-rock and shoe gaze would get the best kick out of it. Love the 'shimmer' and the 'shine' modes on this pedal. It's no blue sky but it's a great second option, and nice to stack on top of other reverbs too.
Cuts through the mix really gently
Tearing through the mix with ambient gentleness? This pedal is made for your piece of etherealizing a record in a meticulous second. A beautiful addition with 7 presets. Mine is foremost dialled to the Plate tone of the pedal. Clashing and crushing! Fab.

This is a big reverb pedal meant for exactly what it's known for big beautiful ambience with your tone.
If you're going to use this pedal I suggest taking into account the name itself: Supernatural Ambient Reverb. If you mix this with the Roland Space Echo you've got the smoothest sexiest pad guitar ever. If you're wanting something that is smooth and ballad like or big and subtle. Then this pedal can do it. However if you're not a fan of blended FX reverb then you might not like this.

Excellent
Flexible grade A reverb (plate mod especially) capable of spacey, washed out tails or a responsive, tight ambience. A pre-delay knob would really have been awesome tho.

versatile, low price
Stereo in/outs, lexicon reverbs. I really love the plate and one or two of the modulated settings. Spring sounds great as well. Love the mix control so you can kill the dry tone. Can get pretty spacey and sometimes digital sounding but it's great.

Would be great without detuned shimmers
Would be great without detuned shimmers - at least for me. Gets too muddy.
Not a Bluesky, but close enough
I normally stack this with my Hall of Fame for a Bluesky type effect. The sounds you can get out of this thing is just beautiful.
