Delay/Reverb Pedal Help Needed

Butch Snyder

I currently have a Duncan DejaVu as my main delay. I have a Donner Yellow Fall mini pedal for subtle slapback, It stays on all the time. I don't use amp reverb at all. I don't care for Fender's tank reverb. The DejaVu was bought used a few years ago. It's not performing well. If I remove the DejaVu, are they any pedals out there that are both reverb and delay? If there are, which do you recommend?

I love the effect Kenny Vaughn has here. I tried to see what he was using, but I don't think he mentioned it. He plays right after the Truetone Lounge intro. It's at 0:25.

I solve that with a Zoom MS-50G and program in any delay I need into any reverb I need. I think a Zoom CDR-70 would do the same with a few more options.

He's using a Strymon Volante tape delay which has reverb also.

What's wrong with Fender built-in spring reverb? Does your amp have it at the front or the back of the signal path?
 
what dont you like about the deja vu and how are you using it?

The DejaVu is a fine pedal. I bought mine used a few years ago. It's starting to show some wear as far as functionality. Just doesn't seem to work as well as it used to; so I thought I'd look for something new. I was actually thinking about looking for an Andromeda.

Is it cutting in and out randomly? Mine started doing that a few years ago. Eventually I figured out that the issue had something to do with the switch that flips between buffered or true bypass. A squirt of contact cleaner and wiggling the switch up and down a few times seems to have fixed it ever since.

That is very close to the tones I am getting with my inexpensive Alabs Cetus verb. I use it primarily when playing solo or for ambient stuff. Fantastic pedal tone wise. In some ways, I like it better than my Strymon Blue Sky!
 
The DL4 MK II has both Delay and reverb, and lets you store 6 presets on the pedal itself. It also sounds fantastic.
 
The DL4 is great. If I had to pick one pedal to skyrocket in value 20 years from now, it would be that one. They follow the template of being a cheap but great product that probably won't be respected until they are discontinued.

Or for budget, Nux Atlantic. It's the Flint of Delay/Reverb...sort of.
