Good sounding, simple to use Reverb pedal
My main two amps are vintage Fender's - A 1966 Princeton Reverb, and a 1972 Deluxe Reverb. For practice I have a 1 watt Marshall 50th Anniversary JMP-1 Combo. There is no reverb on that, so I needed a reverb pedal. On my amps the reverb is controlled by a single knob. So I wanted a pedal with that same simplicity - plug in and turn up the reverb to the required level. I'm not interested in things like dwell and tone that are on other reverb pedals. I just want it simple like my Fender amps.
The Spring setting on this is good. Not as good as the Gibbs reverb tank in my PR or Accutronics in the DR. It doesn't sound as wet. But those are the ultimate reverbs in my opinion, and no pedal will match that real sound and feel.
The hall and plate settings sound nice too, but I don't have any experience with plate, so can't offer a comparison.
I would recommend this pedal for an easy, no fuss, turn up and play reverb pedal.
Note to UK buyers: this is supplied from Thomann with a 2 pin EURO plug, so you will need a travel adapter for UK sockets.

My search for reverb has ended with the Holy Grail
Really happy with this pedal. Before I used a TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2 but I prefer the 3 reverb sounds and the simplicity of the Holy Grail. In my opinion the Holy Grail Neo is the best option as you also get the Plate reverb which is actually my favourite setting. I use just a little bit of reverb to add some 'room' to my sound, nothing too spacy though. The reverb level goes up very fast so I only use the setting up to 9 o'clock. You do not have a lot of room there so it requires some fine adjusting, this is the only downside I can mention. But for me it is fine. I have it dialed in so it is just a matter of switching the pedal on and forgetting about it and focus on the playing :). Can highly recommend. I actually prefer it over the built in Reverb in my Fender Deluxe Reverb ToneMaster amp which I already loved.

Extremely nice reverb
disclaimer, I'm not even a real musician :)
This is my first proper reverb and all I can say is that I am extremely happy with it. Overall it has a nice sound, doesn't seem to lose much of the original and it can get really spacious.
The casing is built to last and that is important too - the controls are as straightforward as they come and it's really easy to get going.

Top reverb pedal
Just like any other EHX pedal, you just can't beat them at their own game. Easy to use with just one reverb control and a three way switch.
Spring mode: just like old fender amps.It doesn't saturate the sound even at max settings. For blues and funk.
Plate: in my opinion ,with the control at 12 o'clock, this one it's the perfect balance between the two. With this setting you'll get an awesome Dream Theatre sound.
Hall: This one fits perfectly for space rock. Put it after a flanger and you discover the pure space rock. Highly recommended the use of volume swells or slide guitar.
For the price is the best you can have, the small casing it's perfect for pedal boards.
