So, who's got (or tried) one & what do you think of it? |

I have it and love it. It's definitely for big, long, and wet reverb/delay effects. The delay time adjustment pot is very hair-trigger and can very quickly go to extremely long delay times. But if you find a good delay time and leave it, you're good. What's amazing is that you can have very high feedback/repeat settings and the repeating delays are very warm and lush. The reverb is big and long. I love it for big ambient steel effects. Very cool pedal. My big gripe is the difficulty in being able to fine tune a reasonable delay time in the 200ms to 600ms range. It very quickly goes beyond 1000ms into ridiculously long delay times.

| How's the reverb itself? Smooth decay? As good as others you've tried or do other "reverb only" pedals do a better job? |

I think I like it better than my Wet reverb pedal. I think Brad Sarno changed the pot in his, so that the delay time adjustments were more steel-friendly. Brad, what would you charge to do this mod?

I changed the delay time pot. I think it was as simple as using an audio-taper pot. I can't remember their value, but it may have been either linear or c-taper (reverse). I kept the same value but went with audio taper. It's MUCH easier to nail the delay times now. I wrote them about it, but they didn't reply.
The reverb itself is very smooth, very lush, very nice. But it's a fixed decay time and tone. The only think you can adjust on the reverb is the amount or volume of the reverb.

I have the Dispatch Master, Wet Reverb Mono Version, and Strymon Blue Sky Reverbs.
They are all unique.
At first my Dispatch Master had a noise problem, but i sent it back to the maker and they fixed it fast and for free. I find that Dispatch Master really shines when using the Delay, or the Reverb and Delay combined. As reverb only, I liked the Wet or Strymon more.
