I've decided that an amp without reverb is like a day without sunshine! I'm seeing them from $14.95 right up into paycheck territory. I know you get what you pay for, but whats the hot poop reverb in the +- $100 range? |

If anyone has any info on replacing a reverb box in an amp I'd be all ears. The reverb in my Fender Deluxe is just awful. Super splatty at a 1 out of 12 and anything over that is just unusable. I'm not in to splat in my 'verb. So, I guess I to am interested in this. Although my GT-8 has plenty of decent enough reverb (I don't use the 'verb much). |

I just use the Reverb in my amps and/or the Reverb in the effects processor that I use in the FX loop of my JVM. But if I were going to use a Reverb stompbox, I'd get a Boss Digital Reverb. But I'd look for a used one (new ones are $150). Used ones usually go quite a bit cheaper than new. |

in my opinion $100 won't do a whole lot in the way of quality reverb. here's $149: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/DigiTech-HardWire-Series-RV7-Reverb-Guitar-Effects-Pedal?sku=500142 Here's $200: http://www.neunabertechnology.com/wet-reverb and here's $300: http://www.strymon.net/products/bluesky/ I would go with the $200 option, unless you wanted octave reverb. If you want a spring reverb you'll need to hunt down a malekko chicken reverb (which will be challenging). i would seriously suggest you buy used. thegearpage.net is the arfcom of the guitarworld, and there are deals to be had on ebay. good luck!
