Your favorite reverb pedal and why?

Loobs

I like and enjoy the Flint but sometimes I find it a bit bland sounding. It's so smooth. Like all the Strymon stuff.

I think the Big Sky can sound rough if you dial it in. What it does brilliantly is preserve your dry signal, and it does "realistic" spaces incredibly well, as it does the big odd ambient stuff.

At the moment, if I want a reverb to sound dark, grubby and otherworldly, I set my Red Panda Particle to the dens setting, which chops up the tail of the delay into tiny grains. It makes it sound like a depth charge, and gives a great bass end rumble when combined with the Big Sky. Sounds weird and epic. Love it.

The Big Sky remains my favourite 'big box' verb.

Talisman looks grey and boring is the best 'small box' imho.

The Fractal FX8 and AX8 is king over em all though.

Any opinions on the Hermida reverb pedal?

Anyone tried the new empress reverb yet?

I've tried it out a while back a number of times instore, and it was good, but didn't blow me away. Ghost mode is great and the 3 delay+reverb modes are the best things on this pedal. At that price, I'd go with an Eventide Space instead.

It's big £££ was also considering the Neunaber Immerse looking for something with options

Having tried many, 4 get my vote:

Mr. Black Supermoon - stacks of character, and capable of wonderful wonk 

Mr. Black Eterna - sublime shimmer, but that's not all it does; shimmer at zero leaves you with a really warm verb, capable of 100% wet. 

Boss RV-5 - in here for the Modulation setting alone. Nothing quite like it, even from the....

Eventide Space - a serious bit of kit. Capable of stunning reverses, cavernous halls, and just about everything in between. Does all the subtle ones beautifully too, and just about every parameter is modifiable. Add to that its Midi capabilities and it's one of the most important pedals on my board.

For the first time in a year, I currently have no reverb pedals! I'm not sure whether to go for a big multi-reverb again, like the Space, or a couple of smaller reverb that I love, like the Supermoon Chrome for huge ambient stuff and another for more "conventional" spaces.

I absolutely love what I've heard of the Supermoon, favouring the chrome at the moment.

How does the RV-5 differ from the RV-6?

GavRichList

It's one number lower

Hey @gavrichlist what are the main differences between the Supermoon and Supermoon chrome ?

Bought the chrome on impulse today also considering the Catalinbread talisman.

UK prices are the same as US prices right now no import bargains to be had.

The chrome is brighter voiced and will do 100% wet, as well as a further degree of wonk. Personally prefer the darker standard, but could make a case for both! 

BintyTwanger77

This is why I'm thinking of the Chrome. The brighter voice should balance well with the MF Delay's dark, warm, lovely repeats.

Excellent pedal. Though none of the reverbs on it go 100%, there is a Kill Dry switch on it. As always, with Neunaber, it's a gorgeous reverb.

I have the stereo wet on board it's a great pedal just looking for something with a bit more variety and options.

I would have thought it would be nothing but bright if the verb is the last thing in your signal?

If you like the Neunaber sound, but want versatility, this is worth a look:
