What are your favorite cheap reverb and delay pedals?

Well my original Flashback was from the very last batch and Sweetwater cleared them on a $99 price-drop. That's cheap enough IMO.
Have you dug into the software at all? I did a cool toneprint 6 or 7 years ago but I haven’t been in the software at all lately. I wonder if the Flashback has any reverb or EQ options on the computer editor?

I need to bust out the editor, my HOF mini and Flashback mini. If I could find a few more cheap that might work too.

I really like the TC Electronic budget line. I haven't tried any of their digital pedals (reverbs and digital delay), but their Echobrain delay is pretty good!
 
I think that dollar for dollar, the Seymour Duncan Deja Vu delay is one of the best deals on the used market right now. For about a hundred bucks you have a tap tempo stereo delay that's got switchable repeats/true bypass, analog/digital delay or a mix of the two, an insert loop, and several types of built in modulation.

I would agree with this. It is a wonderful delay.

The only thing I've done is audition different artist prints, never got to the actual editing feature. I mostly live in the factory 2290 mode.
 
I am just funnin at this point. The clips of the illumine sound really good, but I doubt I would prefer that two-knob layout over the controls on a Big Sky.

Get it man. I had never heard of Neunaber until a few months ago when I had someone suggest that I look at them and started checking them out. Trick with them is buy direct from Neunaber as they go USED on Reverb for much more than they are direct and if you buy from a dealer is almost double the direct price.
I took a chance on the V 5 Wet after i had a verb fail on one of my boards which at the time was $149.95 direct and was shocked at just how good it was. No joke have done a head to head and I like it as well and in some ways better than my Blue Sky which was $300 so---.
On the controls on the Illumine the knobs are multifunction so it has as much control if not more than the big Sky. It's just different the way you access the controls and yes agree the Big Sky is easier to tweak. My next Neunaber will likely be a Seraphim as it's super easy to use and will be dedicated to the Shimmer stuff for some of the things I do. https://neunaber.net/collections/pedals/products/seraphim-shimmer-v2 That is if I can catch one in stock!

I still really like my Flashback v1. The analog mode, regardless of how well or poorly it recreates the tone of an analog delay sounds good to my ears. Coupled with the auto-ducking feature, it's very useful. Honestly, if it wasn't for the lack of tap tempo I wouldn't even bother looking for something new.
 
I don’t know what’s considered cheap but my Alter Ego, Canyon, Visual Sound Tap Delay are all great and have lots of options.

I’ve replaced my entire pedal board with a Zoom MS50G. As mentioned, can set up 50 pedalboards and stomp through them. Sounds are nearly as good as my Strymons, just not as precise to tweak settings.
