Best Reverb (Pedal or Otherwise)

[m_lance]

What's the best reverb for a non-reverb amp?
And just a note ... if I were to buy a pedal reverb, it would have to be true bypass.
Thanks!

While this pedal is not True Bypass, the Electro Harmonix Holy Grail, Holier Grail and Holiest Grail reverb pedals are nice. To make them true bypass, get a Keeley Looper pedal and you're set. Plus, with the looper, you can put your reverb pedal out of the way and use the smaller Looper as the on/off switch.

Ok - you did say BEST !! Try and find an original stand-alone Reverb unit made by Matchless - do a little research and you will find that they are really nice (and priced accordingly).

It would also depend on if you want a studio plate reverb sound or a Fendery spring reverb sound. I find that a plate sounding reverb gets lost in the live mix more than a spring sound and then if you're using the reverb as a little wash instead of a heavy surf sound, it doesn't matter much at all what you use. That's if you're running thru a loop. If you're running into the front of an amp then true bypass becomes more important. The reverb also shouldn't run into a distorted amp or distortion pedal. You won't like that at all. Distorted reverb or delay is b-b-b-bad! If you already knew all of that I apologize but it may help another with less experience. I've heard T-Rex has a new reverb pedal on the way. Probably sound great but be expensive for a pedal.
