There's a ton of posts on, or about, reverb pedals in the sacred halls of SG101...try using the "search" option up there on top.

This may help:

Seems like you have asked about reverb pedals before. I guess no one has given you a suggestion you like. Yes, there are a lot of discussion threads on reverb here. Almost too many to search effectively.

I will quality my suggestions by noting I am not a reverb pedal expwert by any means. I play through an outboard reverb unit. I have experience with two reverb pedals. The Boss FDR-1 and the Danelectro Corned Beef. The Boss FDR-1 is supposed to sound like a Deluxe Reverb. It has vibrato and reverb. It is all right. Boss also makes the FRV-1, the pedal that is supposed to simulate the Fender outboard reverb unit. I have not played one of those, so I cannot comment on it. If money is an issue, the Danelectro Corned Beef is inexpensive. It may not sound exactly like a Fender outboard, but it is a reverb unit. For home use on a tight budget, it will get the job done.

Talk to you later,
Norm

I have an old boss Rv-3... Delay/delay+reverb/reverb pedal.
It daes the job for me but it can be compare with a outboard reverb unit.

You might want to look at this. If I didn't have a Texotica Reverb and an RV-1 for a spare, it's what I'd get.

Malekko recently re-released their Spring Chicken LE spring reverb pedal...

Forward to 3:43

Spring Chicken LE

I have another amp that doesn't play well with the tank and has no reverb, so I got one of these in last week for the effects loop of that amp and it's great.

Another one I've always kinda wanted is the Malekko Omicron Spring..

Take a look at the Behringer RV600 Reverb Machine. It's definitely not the best reverb pedal out there, but it's probably one of the cheapest and it does a quite decent spring reverb sound with some drip. It did fulfill my reverb needs for home playing... until I bought a tank. The bonus is if you're into other musical styles, it has plenty of other types of reverb as well.

Oh boy, deja-vu. I've personally tested a couple of reverb pedals and came to the conclusion that the BOSS FRV-1 and Strymon Flint come quite close to a tank. Then again, they aren't exactly cheap.

Brian, there is no snark behind this post. The reverb/reverb pedal threads keep coming up and really are essential to this genre. While I realize this easily falls under the 'gear' catagory, perhaps a solution to the endless threads might be to actually have a separate forum catagory for 'reverb tanks and reverb pedals'? It would consolidate all of the existing threads, make browsing them easier, and perhaps even limit future threads.

+1, or maybe just a sticky will help. Something like 'All you ever wanted to know about reverb pedals and tanks'.

Cheapest reverb I've ever tried was a big empty room. Sadly, we were playing a gig in it at the time

The Digitech reverb pedal is about $100 new, does spring and some other types of 'verb and has a metal casing.

The lonely road traced by those who would follow the muse often takes them through desolate spaces.

But then natural hall reverb is hard to beat.

+2 on consolidating threads on Reverb. This is getting a bit much around here.
