I never owned a reverb pedal.So I don't know how to choose one.

The EHX "Holy Grail" reverb pedal is pretty cool; haven't used one, but I've heard other guys use them, and they sound like the real deal: http://www.ehx.com/products/holy-grail

I use the Van Amps "Sole Mate", which is a real spring reverb pedal, though solid state rather than tube. An added bonus is that there's an extra switch button so one can run a cable from the vibrato out on the amp to the extra switch button to turn the vibrato on and off-cool, eh? Check it out: http://www.vanamps.com/solemate.htm

Say, did you end up ordering an amp cover from the link I sent you?

T-Rex Room-mate. I used this + Mesa V-twin with a line to FOH (no guitar amp) as a "save your back" experiment and it sounded great. Not quite as cool as a 60's Fender Reverb unit, but very very close, way cheaper and easier to carry!

Oh yeah thanks thanks Paul.I ordered one.I should get it next week.

Thanks for all the suggestions on Reverb pedals.I have to go to Music-Go-Round and see if they have have an EH or a T-Rex or a Solemate used.

I have the first one, not the plus, or the "holier" grail, and it works great. New for a hundred bucks is an added plus!

Dittos on the regular Holy Grail (although the "Plus" model is probably great too).
I tried a number of them and the HG was clearaly the best.

Thanks for the posts!I ended up getting HardWire RV-7. It's got 7 reverb sounds but it is worth buying just for the spring reverb(at 7:24 on vid below).

Sounds great!... lots more sounds options than the HG.... and about $50 more. I think you make a quality choice.

Any way you slice it... reverb is the way to go.
