Re: need good reverb, help please
?
I have the original steel box model and the knob goes all the way to 0 reverb in signal. Usually keep Rate of mine around 9 to 10 o'clock position. 9 and below it does that "unnoticeable effect" thing that works fine with reverb.
Around 12 and higher I find it pretty unusable. It's sort of EHX thing to offer range for player to go completely unsensible and overboard with the effects.

I had bought the one with plate reverb specifically for that sound. I just didn’t gel with it.

Good to know. I have never tried the plate mode Holy Grail.
I currrently have it gated at Hall mode, which has plenty of tail and space in it. Works really well with gate for anything. Normally I usually just use Spring for more subtlety.

A little late to the party, but this Keeley Omni reverb is a great pedal.

I'm loving my Boss RV-6. Plenty of verb settings and a delay too. Great pedal

THANK YOU dystrust Bought a Boss RV-3 on craigslist for $60 and got my Princeton Reverb sound and saved about 800 bucks. Took a couple of hours to figure it out....the **** thing has a bunch of knobs and **** you have to adjust to find what you want but in the end it was there!!!

Re: need good reverb, help please
So I was looking at reverb pedals when you asked
Then I found that the tone I have been looking for for several years I'd the reverb into distortion

Re: need good reverb, help please
You will still need a princeton at some point, I have a fender supersonic which many would consider to be "more amp" and I still need a princeton reverb.
But congrats on the rv-3! Reverb is good with a few controls, having only one reverb knob such as on an amp can be somewhat limiting.

Re: need good reverb, help please
I use a 5e3 for a lot of gigs and i have been using various reverb equipped fender tube amps for decades.
I can't seem to get a reverb sound i like using the 5e3 and pedals (maybe I've been spoiled by my other amps). In the end I've given up, but it does sound pretty great with some rockabilly slapback.

Re: need good reverb, help please
i have a 5e3 and have always struggled to get reverb to sound great with it. i know im spoiled since i have a stand alone fender unit as well as a deluxe reverb but the 5e3 is such a dynamic thing that no matter what i do, it never seems right and always takes something away. i like it best with guitar-cable-amp.

Re: need good reverb, help please
I researched this a while back and the Catlinbread Topanga was consistently rated high and so was the Subdecay. That said I found a Marshall RF-1 dirt cheap here in town I picked up that I'm very happy with. What you don't want, probably even if you were paid to use it, is the Danelectro Corned Beef.
