Need a suggestion for a reverb pedal

I'm looking for a multi mode reverb pedal that has the basics -spring, plate, hall along with an octave down and up reverb. I could care less about modulation or Fancy parameters, any other modes in addition to the ones I listed would be a bonus.
Thanks for any suggestions.
 
octave down and up reverb? never heard of such a thing! though i get my reverb from springs so im definitely not the one to ask

I mean a reverb that puts the trail either an octave down or up. It would have to have 2 different modes for sub octave reverb and octave reverb .
 
The only thing that comes to mind is an Oceans 11, although I'm not sure if it covers the octave requirement...

6G15!

6G15!

one of those, along with a '66 deluxe reverb, '66 pro reverb, '69 dual showman reverb, and a few other reverb amps :D

This can be easily done with the H90. However, seeing the price drop in the used H9s since the H90 came out I would suggest the OP starts by looking there.
 
H9 has great reverbs, including the Blackhole algorithm and a decent reverse verb, as well as a shipload of other cool effects.

Another genuinely studio-quality reverb pedal is the Neunaber Immerse.
Its W3T algorithm is breathtaking - downright hypnotic. Rich, alive, and incredibly 3D, even running in mono through a guitar amp.
Also offers hall, plate, spring, shimmer (octave-up in the tails), reverb + echo, reverb + detune, and a cool infinite-sustain mode.
And it has a remarkably compact footprint for what it does; the H9 takes up about three times as much space.

I have both on my ambient/fusion board.
When I want reverb, 90% of the time I'll hit the Immerse.
It's the black pedal to the left of the H9.

Does it do the sub octave in the reverb trail?
 
The Zoom MS-50G can get there by stacking effects. Good sounding unit. Has LINE6, Eventide, and other reverb algorithms. Has a Strymon Shimmer model, which is the octave up reverb. To get octave down, there are Octave algorithms you can stack with your other reverbs, hall, chamber, room, spring, etc.

That looks very cool and not very expensive either. I'm going to check into this further. Great recommendation!

Not that I know of. Don't know where Ascension got the idea that it does, though I guess the Illumine has that.

Still, I haven't experimented with the most extreme settings in shimmer mode on the Immerse.
Maybe the capability is in there somewhere and I just didn't experiment enough.

While shimmer isn't uncommon these days, I think very few stompbox reverbs offer octave-down on the trail.
Not that I've been checking out reverb pedals in the last few years; maybe it's a trend?

EDIT: Apparently Walrus Audio and EQD both offer octave-down-capable reverbs now; I didn't know.
Also found a $99 pedal from JHS that does it, but I don't know anything about the quality.

Yes it's in the the detune. The Illumine however has a true dedicated octave up and down feature and is the only Verb I know of that has this specific feature.

Eventide does it also. The Shimmerverb algorithm in the Blackhole pedal will do it. The Shimmerverb algorithm is also available in the H9 and H90
