red panda context looks cool. Im GASing for particle.
 
So many good reverbs out there. I know it's a bit pricey and not only reverb, but I love the Eventide H9. Once I got that, I was pretty happy and stopped looking for delays and reverbs and I love the micro pitch.
 
Digitech Hardwire RV7 is good, uses Lexicon reverbs, and is inexpensive.

I have an EBS Dynaverb, which is very discrete and sound good.

Is it the older one that bass players can use? That is a great reverb pedal, most of the verbs out there now are bright and so thin. This underrated reverb is found on quite a few pro's boards and for a reason.

I keep hearing people talk about Lexicon algorithms with the RV7 and Polara. What's the deal? Are Lexicon effects considered especially good or something? I've just never been a big FX guy. All I've ever used is delay. So this is all new to me.

Also... damn, y'all... so many different pedal recommendations lol.
 
From wikipedia-
Lexicon is considered "the godfather of digital reverb",[4] as one of the early players on the reverb/reverberation market. The company was among the first to produce commercially available digital reverb equipment, beginning in 1978[5] with the Model 224. In 1986, Lexicon released the 480L (costing more than some cars), a successor of the 224XL.

The PCM series was introduced as a smaller, more economical option particularly in live situations where the 480L was too cumbersome for a rack rider. First in the series was the PCM-60 (1984), followed a few years later by the Lexicon PCM-70, the latter adding multi-effects and a digital screen interface. David Gilmour from Pink Floyd used a Lexicon PCM-70 to store the circular delay sounds in songs such as "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Time" in the 1994 The Division Bell Tour.[6]

In the 1990s Lexicon continued the PCM series with two new units, the PCM-80 multi-effects unit and PCM-90 digital reverb. In 1997. they released Model 300 as another iconic multi-effect unit. Lexicon continued the PCM series in the 2000s with new mid-level units including the PCM-96 and PCM-96 Surround, standalone reverb units that easily integrate into DAWs.[7]

Also from the 1990s comes the consumer-level LXP series including the LXP-1, LXP-5, LXP-15 and the LXP-15II, and later the affordable MPX1. A new low-priced reverb series, the MX series, was introduced in the 2000s, with the Lexicon MX200 as the entrance model.

TC Holy Grail has been on my pedal board for years and no issues with. It does the job for cheap.
 
I'm pretty spoiled because of my pcm80 and years with a pcm 91 in my live rack

But i had a flint (if it's good enough for landau..) and let my friend borrow it for live use so i got to hear it on his acoustic while running FOH for him until soneone stole it from him!
it sounded warm and i would actually lime another for a mini pedalboard idea with a danecho and eh small clone i have.

Had a boss rv-3 and have used tc hof and eh holy grail and blue sky and super old neunebar wet which was nice.

I hear good things about the digitech stuff but honestly nothing touches the real lexicon stuff and that includes the eventide H rack stuff i've heard. My axe fx ultra had the closest reverb to the lexi i have heard in a rack unit. rocktron and boss and yamaha rack stuff not so much

although i'd consider an older yamaha magic stomp for verb in a pedal as i had and liked that and the chorus in it.
 
+1 on the Flint. Very simple to use. Sounds VERY good! The trem on it was a excellent bonus and actually has been quite useful on a few tunes we cover. Connect an expression pedal to adjust the speed of the Trem while in '65 Photo Mode with the intensity knob dimed and you can really launch into tripsville. The pedal is just all kinds of cool IMHO.
 
Does the Strymon sound good with high gain ? I often will love a reverb pedal on a clean channel but it turns to mush on a gain channel. My Mesa JP2C has built in reverb which works great but for my 5153 and my Nitro I've yet to find a reverb pedal that works well with the hi gain tones. Thoughts ?

I found it hard to use with high gain. Better suited for cleans. In fx loop.

So this is my original question. I need a reverb pedal for high-gain. I don't want to use anything crazy, like weird sounds and shimmers and choir ooh-and-aahhhs. I nust need a subtle reverb to give some depth to my high gain sounds, without having to use delay.

I love the Tech 21 Boost RVB. Simple, lush reverb that sounds great with high gain. It has a clean boost feature that can make up for volume loss with FX loops (or even tighten up an amp). Criminally underrated pedal
