What's your favorite (<$150) reverb pedal?

[DirtySteve]

I need a reverb pedal and possibly a chorus to use in my Origin 20 loop. I've never used a loop, but I think it's time I ventured into new territory. I'm playing edge of break up with a Tele and I need something to fill out the sound. I already have a delay and a couple of eq pedals, but I think what I really need is a reverb and a chorus.

Whatcha got?

I started a thread on another forum so Fitz, you don't have to repeat yourself from over there unless you just want to, I just thought I'd get some opinions over here, too.

A used Fender Marine Layer pedal. Gorgeous reverb, with way more control than you’d expect in a pedal. You can even find the Dual Marine Layer for $150. Seriously slept on.

This looks cool, thanks. I'm seeing a few for around $130 on Reverb. What's the difference between the big one and the little one?

I like the Eventide MicroPitch delay sounds like the expensive Eventide H-3000 Harmonizer delay

I just realized I had a typo in my OP that I have now edited to fix. To clarify, I don't need a delay, I need a reverb. I have a delay that I like more than any others I've tried, but I'm just not a delay guy.

The big one is like having two units that you can switch between orvstack. It also has a Sustain button, that you can hold down to temporarily extend the length of decay.

New suggestions...

TC H.o.F. 2 reverb & T-Rex Tone Bug chorus / flanger.
Might be my favorite reverb & chorus pedals in the arsonal.
Reverb options on the TC are fantastic.
I don't use the flanger function on the Tone Bug often, but the chorus is awesome.
Can be easily had used and fit your budget.
I can also say that they work well with the Origin 20 (& MXR 10-band).

Even though you had a typo that substituted “delay” for “chorus” originally, @67plexi replied with what has become my favorite chorus pedal. I rarely even use the delay function on the MicroPitch, but the chorus is fantastic IMO, and it’s almost always on for me.
I’m not a big chorus and reverb user…unless you count univibe and the Boonar Echorec…but I’ve learned that I like the cleanish delay/pitch style of chorus. My first favorite of that style was provided by my old Yamaha MagicStomp…and it’s still a killer chorus patch IMO.

That said, the MicroPitch is over your stated budget…but it has a serious, game changing, palette of chorus tones on tap.

I’m gonna go back to watching intently.

I have a DOD chorus pedal on my board. I like it. I do not have a reverb. The amp I have has an onboard spring reverb and tremolo, which I seldom run above 2 or 3. Almost never run any of the tremolo…. Although my kid messes with that when he’s playing thru my amp.

When I’m playing thru the Boss GT1 I do use reverb. My favorite setting is “Room” rather that hall or Grand Canyon. I don’t get crazy with the settings, just try and keep it subtle.

For physical pedals I drank the Boss Kool-Aid years ago. Their CE-5 and CE-2W both sound nice to my ears. Both can be found used for under $150.

I too have partaken.
CH-1 & RV-6 (& GE-7) in the loop on my Boss board.
Not quite a delay - kinda reverb-y..., chorus-ish..., thingamabob - the TE-2 Tera Echo if you need to get your weird on.
And I can again verify that these pedals work great with the Origin 20.

Well guys, I'm going to have to put this on hold something has come up. Thank you for all the suggestions and you can keep them coming! I'll check back in when I get back home, I'm headed to Florida for about a week to see my Mom. She's not dying or anything, just continually weaker even with her physical therapy with no explanation and I just need to get down there to see what's going on with my own eyes.

I hope for the best, for you and your mom.

Boss RV-6 hands down. If I could have only one pedal in the loop it would be that one.

As for chorus, well, also Boss - Boss CE-2W

Both can be had for under a buck-fifty used. And used Boss pedals are probably the best buy there is.
