Best reverb pedal for PSG

Post by Mitchell Blum »

What brand reverb pedal do folks think is best suited to pedal steel guitar? I'm looking to spend about $200.

I use the Wet Reverb pedal. Very lush reverb. I've heard other pedals are good also.

I sent you a private message a week or so ago. Did it not go through? Seems the p.m. sending and receiving is sporadic at times.

I love the Holy Grail. But nearly all the $200 units will sound pretty good.

I've tried quite a few reverb pedals, my favorite is the Wet Reverb.

Has anyone done a comparison of the Boss RV-3 and Holy Grail?

I've tried both and I like the Holy Grail much more. I'd say just go with the Wet though. There are some good deals on Reverb.

The other reverb I use a lot for steel is the Flint 70s setting. It's over 100 dollars more though - which is only worth it if you need a tremolo (the tremolo is amazing in that one).

My only complaint with the Holy Grail is that it seems to not have enough pre delay for me. The notes/attack seem very saturated with a moderate amount of reverb.
