Default Reverb Pedal

I'm looking to add a good reverb pedal to my live setup. What are the current recommendations? Any I should stay away from? The TC Hall of Fame 2 looks promising just from some research.

The TC Hall of Fame is superb. I sold my mk1, purely as I have a TC Voicelive 3 which contains the same reverb engine.
The mk2 looks like a very good upgrade from the mk1.

One thing which isn’t obvious is that the downloadable Toneprint setting doesn’t necessarily have to be another reverb. For instance I sometimes put a nice acoustic chorus into that position.

Dr. Scientist Reverberator. Versatile, excellent sound, road-worthy construction.

I have:
TC Electronic Arena - love it, does all I need it to, got a good deal was on clearance at GC

Behringer Reverb Machine - it's ok, paid about $60, the tails feature is weird, sometimes doesn't work as it should, but has a few awesome effects like space and cave

GFS Vintage Verb - for $50, it's a solid box. I don't personally like most of the tones I get from it, but if you like spring reverb, you may like it

I want: MXR Reverb - $200 gets rave reviews

I have a Big Sky (and a Time Line) but I have recently left the covers band where I played acoustic and quite a bit of electric, along w mando and a bit of lap steel. Finding it hard to justify keeping the big strymon pedals now because although I love the sounds I get out of them, I am only scratching the surface of their potential now I am playing exclusively OMs and occasionally as an acoustic duo/trio/quartet.

But if it is not out of your price range, the Big Sky can sound beautiful with acoustic guitar - but then so can the Blue Sky...

A buddy of mine recommended a Boss RV-6 and MXR M300.
The Big Sky is more than I want to spend even though he did recommend that the highest.

This pedal looks outstanding though I have not tried it myself.

BOSS RV-3 Digital Delay/Reverb pedal does it all.

Default Reverb

I get along well with a Boss RV-6.
Would love a Blue Sky but can't justify that kind of money.

Also extremely happy with effects on my Soundcraft Signature 10 small mixer. Double effect on my TC Harmony G-XT and reverb from my mixer sounds superb on vocals. Sorry, got carried away! TMI!

I use the Strymon Blue Sky - it's pricey but nicey!

The best bits for me are the pre-delay control and the high and low damp - you can dial out the really 'splashy' pingy stuff with the high damp, cut some mud with the low damp and then use the pre-delay to fine balance when the reverb comes in after the note - I find this really good for controlling the smoothness of the reverb...

On my current pedal board I've been using a Keeley Delay Workstation which is actually a dual pedal, with both reverb and delay. It has a small footprint but it's great sounding, and it has eight different reverbs, and 8 different delays. And both the delays and reverbs are highly adjustable. And considering it's both delays and reverbs, it reasonably priced and built by one of the most respected pedal builders out there.


Here's some info on it... https://robertkeeley.com/product/delay-workstation/

And here's what it looks like....
