Re: Looking for a good REVERB pedal... Help
I use the gray box Boss Stereo Reverb pedal sometimes. It sounds excellant as long as I keep it subtle...the same way I'd keep the reverb control on my Deluxe Reverb or Super Reverb on no more than 2 or just under 3. Also, with the Boss I can use it to drive two of my Fender tweed Deluxe amps in stereo. Very Cool playing in stereo! Lew

I recommend the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail. If you want to hear it in action, listen to "Beyond the Grey Sky" by 311. The guitar lines in the verses is the EH Holy Grail and the EH Qtron pedals together. Great tune too. If it's good enough for Tim Mahoney, it's good enough for me.
FWIW, I saw them live this summer (again) and they played that song live. Those pedals together sound just as good live as they do on the record, only difference is it was more "in your face" (so to speak) live.

Songworks - Little Lanilei
Real spring reverb in a pedal.
But it's more than $100.
U get what u pay 4, though.

Re: Looking for a good REVERB pedal... Help
Hey Lew, i'm interested in that Boss Stereo Reverb.
Where could I get one? Is the stereo worth it? Does it sound really stereo when you place the amps to the left and to the right?
Is it a real spring reverb pedal or digital?
And what do you mean when you say you keep it subtle? Can't you turn it on a lot and totally drown out in reverb?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi Alex, It's digital. I prefer the built in Fender spring reverb in my blackface Fender amps but none of my 50's tweed Fender amps have reverb so when I want it, the Boss works fine for that and I like playing through two amps at once...especially two 20 watt amps. I spread them out about 2 or 3 feet from each other and get them off the floor about 18" or so. I find that I can get a much fuller tone and get alot better sustain without having to resort to distortion (unless I want distortion) when I play in stereo. Lew

Re: Looking for a good REVERB pedal... Help
So is the pedal what makes it stereo. IE. 1 input and 2 outputs?
Or can I achieve stereo using other means as well?

Sure! The Danolectro Cool Cat Chorus gets STUNNING stereo effects through two amps. Sounds HUGE and really beautiful, IMO. Unfortunately that unit is made in China and China has such a horrible human rights record and has all but destroyed the Tibetan culture in Tibet....so I try and avoid Chinese products.
I also sometimes use my Boss Stereo Digital Delay for similar stereo effects playing through two amps.
Any pedal with stereo outputs can be used to drive two matching guitar amps in stereo.

Unless I'm wrong, the Triamp has an FX loop, so DON'T feed your reverb into the front input! For front input the Little Lanilei, Holier Grail, or Holy Grail are the best.
If you have an FX loop, get a rackmount or halfrack size reverb unit with a send, mix, and output control. For $60 used, you can get an Alesis Nanoverb, which is what I was using in my FX loop of my Ecstasy for very subtle verb. Since the Bogner has a mixable FX loop, I now use the Holy Grail, which wouldn't work as well if I didn't have the mixable FX loop. If I were you, I'd get the Holier Grail, Little Lanilei, or other Roland, Alesis, or TC rackmount unit, and run it in the loop. If you get a multifx rack unit, you can also get a midi floorboard and take advantage of all it's FX.

Hey thanks for the advice Gearjoneser.
Where did you get your effects rack. I know nothing about racks - I just use pedals in front of my blues junior. I have seen guys like Scott Henderson use a pedalboard in his rack and control it from a midi footcontroller... How do you go about doing that. And where can I buy a wheelable rack? Also who makes really good rack effects? (Delays, choruses, compressors, multi fx, midis etc...) ? Thanks for the feedback.

When talking about stereo/mono playing.. I have a 4*12 1960AV and a head, and don't know how to coonect them mono or stereo.. Which way it'll sound better??
Q2: You suggest playing the Triamp MkII in 50W or 100W mode? What if connected stereo?
