Reverb pedal recommendations
Starting to play electric a lot more. I have a Telecaster that I play through a Fender Silver Face Champ. I want to add reverb. Any recommendations on a solid reverb pedal that won’t break the bank. I play mostly blues and classic rock.

I would "like" to recommend the Strymon Big Sky, but it's too crazy. I've played with it for weeks now and can barely make heads or tails of how to configure it and neither the online manual or the any of the YouTube videos has helped.

How about a budget range in $$ like less than $100 or less than $150 or less than $200 etc. ? |
Can't go wrong with the TC Electronics Hall of Fame. Haven't tried the HOF 2, but check it out if you want shimmer - $150 new.

I've heard only good things about the Hall of Fame.
That being said, I don't have one, because I've always had amps with reverb. |

These usually get great reviews by people that want a simple reverb pedal...

I just looked it up and man what a potential powerhouse of a reverb Seriously if your not familiar with the nomenclature you can do a lot by ear. If you can get a handle on setting thing dryer and how to increase "Spring" for the classic 60's guitar amp Spring reverb effect. "Plate" is also more of a classic sound Room Hall Shimmer etc is going to be a bit more modern and ambient If it were me For starters I would try the Spring with the predelay set to from 9:00 to 12;00 the decay and mix about the same 9:00 to 12:00 Forget the param knobs for now and start with the Mod down See how you like that then just slowly change any of settings one at a time to see what you can hear. |

For instance, in any given state, say I've just powered up the unit, there doesn't appear to be a way to select a new "Type" of reverb. When I do so, the LED's from the circle of Types are lit one by one but no change of sound occurs. The only way I've so far been able to change the reverbs is to select one of the 100 "pre-created" items using the Value knob. Admittedly, the reverbs are super cool! :) So in your example, the only way I can get a Spring reverb is to go through the 100 pre-stored reverbs in the hope of finding one made of a Spring. Then I can alter it. |

Also I agree after a brief look the manual seems to leave a lot to be desired. For example I could not find out how you activate "true bypass" I would assume by one of the foot switches . Which for me is best way to discern subtle changes . For the OP and or anybody thinking super simple with a nice sound and some tone variations for $130. This one that apparently Keeley Pedals is making exclusively for Sweetwater looks pretty interesting ...... The demo video is worth watching https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/OmniReverb |

Bypass is activated by pressing the active (orange or green) one of three foot switches. When the light goes out it's bypassed. |

I was thinking the same thing the other day, the built-in digital reverb on my Marshall leaves a great deal to be desired ("digital" sounding, and clips harshly when I combine it with another digital pedal, especially in the effects loop) and I miss the simple old 3-spring reverb tank my ancient Gibson amp had. Is there a totally analog spring reverb (or something similar, but not digital) available as a pedal?
