Hey all, does anyone have any opinion on what's the best reverb pedal out there? I heard EHX Holy Grails are pretty friggin good, but I want some more suggestions so I have a lot to choose from. Anyone?

I would personally reccomend the EHX Holiest Grail for fine reverb world-wide

A while ago I was looking at Reverb pedals and I looked at the Holy Grail, the BOSS one, and another one. They all suck. The reverb they give off does not feel real. They are thin sounding and I would not recommend buying a reverb pedal. Instead get a tube amp with built in reverb.

I have to say, while the tube amp would probably give you better reverb, it isn't exactly a comparatively priced alternative. So until you get that anyway, the Holy Grail (or one of it's siblings) is probably the way to go.

There are some amps that have switchable reverb on/off. I know there are a bunch of Fenders out there that have it. And there are probably some Marshall and Line 6's that have it as well. And most likely alot more out there that do. You have to search around.
