Recommend me a reverb pedal…or Flint?

Of all the reverbs I've had the flint stood out for me.

The polara was close and much better value. The hardwire is virtually identical. The Neunaber i found quite lacking.

I'd go polara

At of the ones I've had..

Flint is a good all rounder and good value if you like tremolo.

Wet is best ambient

Polara is a decent budget option.

I kept the flint and sold the other two.

Which version of the Neunaber did you have? The joy of the Neunaber is the extension/preset pedal, that gives you multiple reverb options live.   It's a damn fine pedal.  But, overall, the MXR is the one to have.

In what way Marlin, does the MXR have something equivalent to the WET, if you primarily wanted an ambient verb, as apposed to spring?

I may try the MXR later, the only thing putting me off is the power requirement, 240ma as opposed to the Neunaber's 70ma (immerse) or 100ma (Slate).  But if it passes the sound test I'm sure I could find a way.

The one you can reprogram.

The Neunaber was nice for big swooshy pedal demo type ambient reverb but for more subtle usable reverbs i found it had a slap back that you can't dial out and was quite artificial

I think to be fair the Neunaber is all about the Wet algorithm and ambient verb.

Blackstar HT reverb here - it's bloody huge, requires a weird (22 volts?) power supply but it sounds great...

I really like the way this pedal seems to work with an expression pedal.  I could make use of that.
At the moment I've got a Flint on my board and I can't fault it.
It does so much more but I've never come off the spring verb and the '61 tremolo -- such a perfect sound!

Personally I'm in 2 minds whether to wait for the ventris.

Looks good, although latest estimate for release in June.  Would be ace paired with a Nemesis.
