I just got my Verbzilla today. I was intrigued about all the positive feedback I had heard about em on the forums, though I've been a bit spoiled by my 68' showman's reverb 
.
Enter the verbzilla. I've never liked the reverb on my H&K edition tube 20. I always felt like it was a bit weak, and its noisy as all hell anyways. So, I plugged this pedal into the FX loop.
The result: verrrrry nice. The 63' spring setting is pretty damned close to the built-in reverb on my showman. A little different, but very, very convincing. The plate setting is a little more modern sounding. Probably my 2nd favorite setting on the pedal. The others...eh...mostly special application kinda stuff. I can imagine that "octo" would probably sound pretty cool with the slow gear clone that I'm building. I've still got some exploring to do with this pedal though.
I'll admit, I'm usually pretty skeptical of line 6 products. I own a PODxt, but I view that as more of a pratice tool, or a quick-and-easy-though-not-quite-professional recording tool. I had a MM-4 before, and wasn't very impressed with it.
I'm happy with this one though. The only real problem I have with the pedal is that it's a freakin brick. It weighs more than my boss DD-20 gigadelay. Well worth the extra weight on my pedalboard though
.
The next step is trying it with my KRANK. That amp could use some nice 'verb.
Edit: Just weighed the line 6 versus my boss twin pedal. The DD-20 was about 2 pounds 3 ounces, and the Verbzilla was about 2 pounds 4 ounces. Crazy.
