What do I need to get reverb from my Carmen Ghia? I'll be the first: 1. Are you asking if you can mod a CG and cut in a Reverb circuit? 2. Are you inquiring about what pedal works well with the CG?

My answer to any reverb question for the last few years is get a Strymon Flint and take all your other reverbs to the Goodwill. That still stands.
Having said that, a lot of guys don’t especially like reverb with the Ghia. When you get the Ghia to the point where it is giving up what it is famous for, the reverb can get mushy and unpleasant. It can be done, especially at lower volumes but it isn’t exactly an organic pairing. I should add that realistically once you get the Ghia up to where the Doc and God intended it to live, reverb becomes superfluous anyway.
My suggestion is to go to the Ghia section here and put “reverb” in the search box. Read for hours and go all the way to the beginning. Pay special attention to any post by Buddy Whittington. Buddy knows.

I use a Strymon Flint with my Ghia. Love the reverb and the trem is very cool as well when I play "Crimson and Clover" over and over.

Really like the Flint. The bonus is that you can add a touch of tremolo, which adds a little depth at lower volumes.

Well crap, sounds like I need a Flint as well. Heard nothing but good things about it.

I have a Flint and it is a nice pedal with reverb and trem, but for just reverb I use a Catalinbread Talisman. Grrreeeaaattt plate reverb sounds.

+1 on the flint. I don’t use reverb much at all - I find the room provides enough and as FastEddie said it can get mushy when the amp is in the “sweet spot.”
But I love that trem to dea-dea-dea-death. 😁

Strymon Flint is a good one. (If it's good enough for Doc, well then... yeah, use it!) Also, I think Doc would agree with my following suggestion--also from a Cleveland-area builder. Check out the Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master if you want a little bit of (one-knob, not deluxe) reverb PLUS some delay too. Very cool pedal, very useful.

Ill also use a strymon deco for just a bit of faux reverb.
It’s one of those amps that doesn’t need it imo (unless you need some serious reverb for surf or emo type stuff)

I've been using a Keeley 30MS reverb/delay that's great, but I finally caved this morning and ordered a Strymon Flint V2. Like the old saying goes, "If not me who, and if not now, when?"

My vote is the Catlinbread Topanga. If you want that Stand Alone Tube Unit Sound. Everyone of the videos always go to the surf sound, but I had a Z Verb when the Topanga arrived. I dailed the Topanga into sound and feel as close to the Z Verb as possible before letting the Z Verb go.

Flint for more natural reverbs Neunaber Wet for more ambient reverbs.
Both are stellar pedals

J Rockett Audio Boing is amazing with any amp. 1 knob and it really nails the spring reverb sound. Catalinbread Talisman and Neunaber Immerse are also incredible. If you're running the amp hot, simply lower the level of the reverb and it sounds great with gain.

I have the Flint and the Talisman. One cool feature of the Talisman is the pre-delay. It gives a bit of slapback feel and you can make it sound more like a room reverb. It emulates a plate reverb. The Flint is just a beautiful pedal too.
