I can't find the reverb I like using the stock Tone Master Twin built-in. I'm using a Boss DD-3 Delay right now along with minimal Fender reverb, but I'm still not getting the sound I want.

I'd like to find a single pedal that incorporates Reverb and Delay. I've done some initial searching without finding much until it crosses the very expensive threshold.

I could use some thoughts from others who may have come across a solution.

Thanks!

As far as I'm concerned, you're better off with two separate pedals, one for delay and one for reverb.
I have a Boss RV-3 which is a combination pedal but I find the choices on it rather limited.
BTW,your DD-3 is a very good delay pedal.Very Happy

From a recent forum post there are several of us using the NUX Atlantic Delay/Reverb combo pedal. I even saw a post on the Quilter Facebook page that Nashville steeler Mike Sweeney is using one.

I'm using the Mooer Ocean Machine
Wide range of reverbs, plus TWO separate delays, plus a looper.
And it's full stereo in and out
It's my always on pedal

Although many will consider it a tawdry, lower class relative from the wrong side of the tracks...the Zoom MS-50G gives you reverb, delay, and all kinds of other effects, and I found it to have little to no effect on tone, unlike some other pedals I used that are more sought after. If you are playing alone at home, or for recording, it might be a noticeable downgrade from some of the others mentioned here. But in a loud band stand setting, you probably won't hear much difference, and I assure you the audience (save a gear head or two who are focusing on nothing but you) won't either.

Jack Stoner has offered some great advice here. I went to watch Mike Sweeney play last night and it’s a pedal steel workshop in Emmons, Hughey Rugg etc. he is so consistently in control and precise in his musicianship and delivery!! It’s a pleasure to listen to him and inspiring to watch! He was using the NUX reverb/delay and it did not disappoint!… thanks Jack!

I agree with Erv Niehaus. Two pedals (in my experience) are significantly better than one for this. Right now I'm using a Maxon analog delay (for subtle slapback) and the Caitlinbread Talisman for reverb - I'm a big fan of Lexicon for a reverb that doesn't announce itself as reverb, but is warm and gives some space to your sound.

If course each of us has different preferences, but this is mine.

I'll second the Source Audio Collider because of its presets. Whether Collider or separate pedals work better for you just depends on how you use your pedals.

I used a Boss DD-8 and 2 different reverb pedals. I was perfectly happy with the sound, but I switched to the Collider and am happier.

I initially thought the Collider would be too hard to use if I wanted to adjust both delay and reverb. I think I was right, but the way I actually use delay and reverb is to find combos I like and only tweak them occasionally.

With the separate pedals, I was adjusting both pedals whenever I adjusted one. With Collider I have the presets I like and only occasionally make small adjustments on the fly. That works for me.

If you like to make multiple big adjustments on the fly, you might want separate pedals. If not, the Collider sounds fantastic and is easy to use.

Another Zoom MS-50G user here. I’ve got a set of favorites loaded that I can choose from quickly to get what the song needs. Four different reverb/delays, Leslie, mild overdrive, screaming overdrive, and a few others. As mention, no noticeable change in tone, and it’s a good bang for the buck.

Agreed. Those are VERY impressive, what all they do and do well. Loaded with tons of famous, classic effects plus great reverbs and delays.

I'll second the Mooer Ocean Machine although it might be a little overkill depending on your needs. The Keeley Caverns might be better although the Ocean Machine is stereo in and out.

I have a EarthQuaker Dispatch Master and a very inexpensive Mooer Echo/Verb that has easy tap tempo.
Lexicon in the Telonics Rack.
Tap tempo is the way.

I’ve tried quite a few and am quite happy with the Keeley Caverns.

I’ve had luck with the Keeley Delay workstation. Multiple different reverbs and delays, all tweakable, and independent . You can isolate one at a time, ( reverb or delay ) to fine tune each on its own. Tap tempo as well. Really nice unit.

I’m another happy user of the NUX Atlantic. It’s almost as if it was designed for the pedal steeler.

Thank you for your comments.

After doing some research on-line based on a number of your posts, I've ordered a NUX Reverb/Delay pedal.

I'll let you know how things unfold...

The Boss RV-500 is pricey but you get what you pay for there. Both dual reverbs and dual delays are included and fully independently configurable. If you create your own pre-sets the RV-500 is superb. I've never heard a pedal unit that comes anywhere close to its quality and ability to do so many different things. It will even give very expensive dedicated rack unit reverbs a run for their money.

while what you say MAY be true, or maybe not, the RV 500 has a very large footprint as opposed to another dual pedal that will actually fit inside a small pedal board. And no, a smaller footprint pedal will not have a display.

Just another option apparently, smaller footprint vs larger footprint. Shocked
