Continuing my board re-build, I'm turning to reverbs. The Supernatural is my obvious choice, but apparently they've already discontinued it, which seems a bit bizarre for a pedal so highly praised a couple of years ago.
Is there anything else worth looking at. I'm very keen to have something that can do swirly ambient type stuff as well as your normal plate/hall/spring.
I don't want TC for their switches, and (much as I'm sure I'd love éither ) I don't want anything as physically big as a Big Sky or an Empress.
I'm aware of the Polara, Boss RV6 and the Neunaber stuff. Is there anything else worth looking at?

I reckon you either go Polara or used Supernatural.
Strymon Blue Sky is smaller than the Big Sky, might be worth a look?
I *think* the switches on the HoF2 pedal are improved over the original because they've implemented the MASH technology, which would require better switches as far as I can tell. So it might be worth a look - 3 toneprint slots on that thing looks amazing too!
If you want to go full Ambient then the Supernatural is probably better.
I had both but ditched them in favour of a Juansolo Tenebrion which is pretty unique---I didn't need the normal sounds of the Polara and I prefer the weirdness of the Tenebrion to that of the Supernatural.
Reading this thread just kicked my arse to sell one this weekend!
1) Big Sky - the best and does the lot
2.) Polara - vastly underrated
3.) Talisman - less versatile but one of the best
As ever, ymmv
