what reverb pedal?

Reverend

I'm looking at getting something fairly small and light that can work wither after a Friedman be-od or in n fx loop. doesn't have to be fancy and just looking for a simple hall or room sound. preferably something that can worl with both power supply and battery.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have an EHX Holy Grail. I like it. It's unremarkable in a good way, except for the Flurb mode.

I presume it will be used for gigging?

I'd recommend a Boss RV5 or 6.

Works with a battery as well as a power supply and would survive being gigged.

Everyone bums the EHX Oceans 11 but I haven't tried it. The spring sounds very sproingy in the demos

Won’t be the cheapest (or most expensive) but yes Boss RV5 or 6 for,well, exactly what @earwighoney says. 

Any digital reverb is going to eat batteries so a pedal with decent battery access seems a must in this scenario. The Fender Marine Layer reverb is a bit less money and that looks to have good battery access as well.

The holy grail is a really nice sounding reverb pedal for not too much.

Just bought a Hall of Fame 2 for Jr and it's really good. Very nice Plate Reverb I particularly liked, some long ambient stuff available and the tone prints, hard to beat at the price range of have thought.

A bit of googling suggest about 5 hours of use from the battery in a reverb pedal. So, I stand by my suggestions!

TC electronic mini hall of fame (1 or 2)

Really small and does a decent hall/room/plate etc

...but can't put a battery in them?

I used a Boss RV-6 for a few years and can highly recommend it.

The spring mode is close enough to the onboard spring reverb you get on amps and there’s nothing wrong with the plate, room or hall modes. I was also a big fan of the dynamic mode.

The only mode on it I didn’t like was the shimmer, which was shit.

The only reason I don’t use it anymore is because I bought an amp with spring reverb onboard.

Easy battery access as well which fits the bill for you.

The boss ones are good, and the tc hall of fame is also good. I used to have a digitech polara which was nice, but can't remember if it had battery or not. They're overpriced these days - funny how that happens when they stop making them.

On the cheaper side, I had a digitech x series digidelay (edit: Digiverb! What a plum.). It's nice! I think they're a bit unexciting but it was built well, cheap and added ambience without flash. A perfectly good, cheap, reverb pedal.

I had both the above and thought the spring was far nicer on the Digiverb (not Digidelay -D’oh!). Hugely underrated pedal, I think mine sold for £35. The Polara, on the other hand, was embroiled in an insane last-minute bidding war and went for £160.

Assuming you mean the Digiverb, it's great, but I find it really has a noticeable volume drop.  I've got the Marine Layer and it's brilliant, really musical. The modulated and shimmer settings are better than anything else I've tried (even the RV-5).

I've had a polara, HOF2, and a RV6.

Polara was excellent.
RV6 is excellent
HOF2 was ok.

I still have the RV6,  main gripe with the polara was that it was unreadable on the pedal in a gig situation.  RV6 is only slightly better.

I've got the Digiverb (from @joetele actually) and I use it almost everyday. As far as I know, the 'level' knob does not control the level of the signal, but the dry vs wet ratio. Which explains the volume drop, as by definition the reverberations will never have the same volume as the original input. So 100% wet feels anaemic, even if it does make sense. Mine sits at 10 o'clock. 

The stereo signal is brilliant – I made a stereo sniffer just to be able to record it easily – and church, reverse and spring get full marks. Spring is particularly unbelievable. Takes me back.

Behringer RV600.... I've had one for over 10 years... has never let me down nor felt I've ever needed to spend more.
