best compact reverb delay pedal for PSG.

Atlantic Nux for an all-in-one.
For a two pedal, MXR Carbon Copy analog delay and TC Electronic Hall Of Fame reverb.

Another suggestion: Alexander Pedals Sky5000.

Here is my final minimalist set up. Sounds fantastic with my ZUM SD10 Hybrid.
Sesh 400 pedal, Nux Atlantic Reverb Delay pedal and a Peterson StroboStomp HD pedal using the SE9 tuning map. Very small and portable in its case and lacks nothing sound wise. I must say that TC knocked it out of the park with the Sesh 400 pedal. The Nux unit is inexpensive and very good. Just the Steel in its SKB case, a Packa seat and a TC Furlong Split powered speaker along with the Preamp case and its all go, very light simple and the sound leaves nothing to be desired.

Keely Caverns. Great control of reverb and delay, prive is reasonable as well.

I use one of these on my synthesizer.
Very versatile DSP based unit.

It was very reasonable compared to the strymon stuff when I got it but that was pre chip shortage so IDK what they cost now.

I think reverb pedals are as varied and interesting as overdrives, so I like having several to choose from, and appreciating the uniqueness of each. I have four that I use regularly (with guitar, not just steel), and they all sound very different from each other:

- Caroline Meteore
- Neunaber WET (very old mono version)
- Alexander Sky-Fi
- Source Audio Ventris

The Ventris is the “good” one, by the standards of pure, transparent, highly programmable reverb, not to mention $$$. It gets used the least. I use the Caroline Meteore with steel, and it’s by far the gnarliest and explicitly lo-fi. It works kind of like a slapback delay in front of a spring reverb, but it’s dirtier. I’m after a Buddy Cage/Jerry Garcia sort of 1970s honky-tonk aggressive tone, so it’s perfect. Someone who wants something clean and polished should definitely not use the Meteore!

I also really like the WET, and would happily use it for steel if not for the Meteore. As I’ve said elsewhere, it sounds like it’s IN your tone rather than ON your tone. And it’s only two knobs, very simple.

I use the Sky-Fi the most with guitar. It’s not so good with steel. It’s a modern-sounding but kinda lo-fi reverb/delay combo. It has a really good shimmer, and a sort of feedback thing when you hold the button down.

At any rate, different reverb pedals are a great way to explore different tones! And don’t get sucked in by the promises of clean and transparent, unless that’s really what you’re after. Just like we don’t always want a perfectly clean amp or speaker.
