Reverb project recommendation

Spatialist is great for all the options. The shimmer and cavern are great for really ambient stuff. I like the touch and modulated also.
For simple reverb, I also like the belton brick based circuits. I think that the Btdr-3 is a little smoother and nicer sounding than the btdr-2. Lots of people seem to like the spirit box on here. I have built (twice) and really enjoy the 1776 rub-a-dub reverb deluxe, and it’s one of the few diy projects around based on the Btdr-3, and the ability to control the length with a knob is great. I mostly use it for simple, always on reverb, but it can get decently long and ambient as well.

The spirit box is great for playing with distortion, the pre-delay makes all the difference in keeping it from getting muddy.

I just finished the spirit box. Sounds fantastic but kinda plain.

FYI - I was JUST about to order up parts for the Spirit Box, and realized that Belton Bricks are tough to snag right now due to production/shipping being slowed from China.
I think Im gonna try me a Rub-a-Dub next, thanks!

I managed to snag a couple from this site, they were one of the only places I could find that had them in stock: https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/reverb-module-accutronics-belton-digi-log-horizontal-mini

Get an Arachnid and the possibilities are endless.

I built a couple rub-a-dubs - if you get the long delay reverb module and turn it up all the way, it does produce some decent reverb. I highly recommend them. He this content also sells them prefab for like $8 or $9... Just fyi, but i get wanting to etch your own - it's what I did, but I redesigned the layout and used a SIP IC (can't remember the number right this second, though) instead of a tl072 to save a little space so I could shove it into a smaller enclosure and still have a battery.

Anythingbased on Pythagoras or Arachnid is a great option. Try the Threeverb.

Thanks all. I bought the Deflector PCB after I heard the demo. Haven’t built it yet (my ‘pedal season’ is roughly January to April).

You must be in a warm weather business as well

No, it’s when the home maintenance projects are at a lull.

Get an older beat up amp with an analog spring reverb.
