I've been looking to add a Delay or a Reverb pedal to my pedal board. Does anyone here have any suggestions?
I've been looking at the SIB Mr. Echo, Danelectro Dan Echo, EH Holy Grail Reverb, and the Boss DD-6. Are there any others I should consider?
I would mostly use the item for volume swells, and occasionally fatten up a lead sound.
Thanks for your help

I think the SIB may be out of production. I have one and it sounds nice. You can't give it a hot input or it will distort. The way the knobs are set up on the SIB you can tweak it with your toe as you play. The Dan Echo sounds good too but I don't like the little knobs. I actually went back to the Digitech set on tape simulation. The Holy Grail sounds fine also. Never tried the Boss. Having said all that I think time delay pedals sound better in a loop than into the front of the amp. Depends on how hard you're pushing the amp. If the amp is distorting you're better off in the loop. Reverb and echo into the front of a distorting amp sounds pretty messy.

I had a Dan Echo years ago. OK sound, but it killed the tone... dulled it. This is OK for the echo, but it dulled the regular tone as well, and the bypass was a tone sucker. I recently got a Deluxe Memory Man, which is cool because you can blend in chorus or vibrato in with the echo, and it's got a dry (non-echo) output that is separate and is 100% not effected. I believe the regular bypass works just fine as well. The actual echo will sound a little softer, like a tape delay used to make them, but your original sound comes through very nicely. It's a quirky pedal, though! A lot of fun.

Trex Replica or the new TC Vintage is the same thing less $$$
