Reverb Pedal or Small no frills unit recommendations

[ErikH]

I'm doing a little pedalboard revamping. A DSM & Humboldt Simplifier is on the way for my amp and cab simulation. It does not have effects in it but it does have an effects loop so I can put ambiance effects there or last in the chain before the Simplifier. I have a delay (Boss DM-2w) but I need a no frills, simple reverb. I have no desire for Behringer or TC Electronic stuff (TC is owned by Behringer now). If I could find an old Alesis Picoverb I'd use that since it would be on all the time but no luck finding one States side. So, it looks like it'll be a pedal unit. Simple and to the point is what I need.

Holy Grail Nano?
Keeley Omni?
JHS 3 Series?
Wampler Mini Faux Spring Reverb?
Joyo Atmosphere? (though it has more features than I would use/need)

I'm keeping the Fly Rig 5 v2 but will use it as a backup solution. I'm really liking the "no amp" setups. My back certainly does.

Well, I'm obviously gonna suggest the Grail Nano. Great simple unit, gives you the bit-o-verb you want. Set on Spring, dial in and forget.
- Consider the Neo also.

Do not discount the Mooer Shim-Verb.

Never heard anything bad about the JHS 3 series. Not sexy, not small. Still, probably a super solid basic reverb.

Caline Snake Bite

All the verb you need less than $50

THESE! Have a couple and like the Immerse better that a Styrmon Blue Sky. The Wet is fantastic and a super good bang for the for the $ LOVE mine!

Good suggestions but those last several mentioned here have way more controls and options than I want and/or need. Simple and to the point.

The Holy Grail Neo right now is the front runner and I reached out to my sales rep at Sweetwater. That would do nicely.

Well the Biyang Tri reverb is just 3 knobs
an and a 3 position switch for
hall plate or spring

Looks like it has two from what I’m seeing. Had no idea that even existed. Great price too.

I have heard a lot of good things about the New Neighbor pedals.

Spent time yesterday with a Strymon Blue Sky and liked my Neunaber Immerse better head to head. Was going to buy the Big Sky passed will but the $150 Neumaber Seriphim for 1/2 the price as just need the Wet and Shimmer tones it offers and think that actually sounds better to me than the $300 Strymon does.
One of these and Neunaber is offering them direct right now for $149!

I’ve got an EHX Holy Grail Neo on the way. It’s perfect for my needs.

 

[ErikH]

The Flerb setting sounded OK in demos I watched but I would get much more use out of the Plate on the Neo.

 

[Ascension]

Hey Eric just sent you a PM have a mint HOF MINI for sale if you want it. Was running it for basic verb with my MT 15 at Church and am now running a Neunaber Wet.

 

[Aceman]

Flerb didn't do anything for the Large Format Grail either...

I nominate for one of the 10 worst effect settings ever.

Neunaber Immerse MK II has some beautiful delays as well. Best bang for the quality buck for both out there. Easy to use, studio quality, small format, two amazing effects and also in one pedal.

true, but two comments:

1. Source Audio Collider kicks it's @$$.
2. Neunbar is a crappy choice if all you want is a simple inexpensive reverb pedal for a little "always on" verb of the Spring/Hall variety. Which, seems to be what OP wanted

 

[Aceman]

Do I need one of those?

we all do...

Your comment contradicts itself...lol.

1. NOTHING Neunaber makes is bad. For the footprint, size and options for a quality sounding delay and reverb I challenge you to find something better for less money and space. You can't.
2. Source Audio isn't "inexpensive" and at its price point is overkill for as you so eloquently said was a "simple, inexpensive, little, always on verb,"

Just curious, do you own the Neunaber and Source Audio pedals?

I know you’ve already got the EHX on the way but for future people reading this thread, I still really like the TC HOF Mini. I made my own Toneprint on the computer editor that ramps from subtle, to more intense, then adds modulation for the second half of the knob sweep. From 25% to 75% the dwell time increases and the whole sweep the mix does from ~5% - 100%. From subtle the over the top ambient in one knob sweep. The only issue is no spring emulation. I haven’t heard a really great digital spring anyway.

 

[Aceman]

I don't disagree that the HOF should be an easy buy. Just find your fave also load & go. OP said no to it in OP
