I'd go for RV 5 or 7.
In my opinion, a SMALL bit of reverb is essential, a LOT is atrocious, and over the last ten years, delay has been overused the way chorus was in the 80s.
Others will disagree, but I claim possession of the truth because I spoke first. (Hey! look!! A winking smiley!!  It means I'm kidding/teasing)

Gotta agree with Lane on this one.

| The dual pedal is nice for some things but it's really a different animal. If you can find a used RV-3, it has the basic effects of both the RV-5 and DD-3 in one pedal. Otherwise, I think you would like the dedicated individual units best. |

| Hi. New guy here but my two cents: I've owned three different Behringer devices over the past four years. All of them malfunctioned in less than a year. I stay away from them. TC Electronic stuff has always sounded good AND held up. |

We've had threads about Behringer before. Cheaply made clones of good gear.
I'd buy a tuner...

Quentin, to the best of my knowledge, MXR dont make a reverb pedal? I hope im wrong, but if they did then i would be very interested, as i love their build qaulity, its actually a bit of a surprise that they dont make a reverb pedal, i use the Electro Harmonix nano reverb, which i like,

Yes youre right Edward. I was mixing it up with another reverb pedal that Peewee Cahrles uses.
I know a couple of steelers that use the behringer delay pedal and never had any problems, but thanks for the heads up guys, I am going to stay away from them.
The Electro Harmonics Cathedral Stereo reverb pedal looks really cool too.
