Zoom MS-50G. Because I have one and the reverb died in my NV400. I run it in the front panel effects loop. Sounds good.

Depends on the instrument and genre. Overall my favorite is an original Fender ‘64 tank, then a Surfy Bear tank, as for a pedal on a small board a Source Audio True Spring Reverb. I like the “drippy” reverb effect, if you can get that you can get just about anything else out of your tank or pedal. I use all three for surf music to classic country.

The end of my pedalboard is...
EHX Oceans 11-->
El capistan-->
Flint
This way I can easily switch between reverb into delay, or delay into reverb. Also, no matter what reverb pedal I use, I tend to get tired of the sound of it. Being able to switch between one or the other or blend the two keeps things interesting.

Catalinbread Topanga. It's not as pricey as the SurfyBear, but still gives you that Fender stand alone spring reverb unit sound. I use it with psg and it goes into my Nashville 112. I'm particular about it as reverb is the only effect I use. I find when I bottom ou my volume pedal it goes into unpleasant transistory distortion. But that's the only caveat I've found with the Topanga.

My favorite is an older Zoom G3, I've tried about everything out there and I think the Zoom has the best reverb, chorus, and delay that I've ever used.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, a restored MSA Classic SS, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Also a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored Rose S10, named the "Blue Bird". Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also have a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks, and a showroom condition Sho-Bud Super Pro.

Small, sounds great (spring and hall), one knob.
It's all I need for bandstand playing with a country band.

There are only two options as I see it.
Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.

Benado Steel Dream... I love being able to shape the Verb up to and including the Tone of it. And it adds a nice warmth.
I used the Lexicon MPX 1 for several years, and really liked it... it had a nice shimmer to it.
I'd also like to try the SourceAudio Collider which looks pretty interesting.

I use this original Holy Grail with the old blackface Princeton. It sounds very authentic.
I've been drooling over the Source Audio Collider for a couple of weeks now. Expensive, though. Has anyone tried it?

Small footprint and its pretty darn good - NUX Atlantic- RVB and DELAY , one trick pony ! A real plus when attempting to downsize or take less gear to a gig.
I modified a small BOSS 3 space pedal board, it now holds 4 items

Walrus Audio Slo, it covers all the ambient bases that normal amp spring reverb doesn't.

Nice to know the zendrive is someone else's choice of od for steelTim Harr wrote:I use the Strymon Blue Sky reverb. It has a very deep and rich sound. Also, it is extremely variable and easily adjustable on the fly.
Highly recommend.
