Hi Guys
I don't tend to use effects much at all but sometimes want a bit a reverb. I have an old fender reverb tank which stays hooked up to one particular amp as it's a pain to connect it up when switching amps so I was hoping to buy something like a Joyo reverb pedal but.......they don't seem to do one!!
I bought a Joyo analogue delay which was ideal for me and to my ears sounds pretty damn good for the money so thought a Joyo reverb might be more of the same.
Anyway, I'm not sure if there's anything out there that won't break the bank but is still reasonably decent?

Same here, great pedal.
The Behringer really is pretty decent.
But if you wanted something a little better and much more solid, the Marshall RF1 'Reflector' is built like a tank and is very good. About £79 new, you can get a used one on Ebay for around £20-40. Several on there currently, one has a start bid of £9.50 with no bids currently and another at £12.50 currently. Does Hall, Plate, spring 1, spring 2, reverse reverb. Very versatile, with time, damping & level controls. It is passive bypass and also has an input for an expression pedal, and an alternative 'spill' out socket that allows the reverb to naturally decay (rather than just 'stopping dead') when you switch the pedal off which is a nice touch.
This is a nice demo, to demo sounds (but not in English):
Also, I found a vid demo comparing the Hall of Fame with the RF1 - I haven't heard the HOF but general consensus of the demo'er (who says he wasn't impressed by the HOF) and most of the listeners who commented is that the RF1 sounded better, - YMMV of course but have a listen & see what you think.
I have 4 of the Marshall pedals (Echo Head EH1, Guvn'r GV2, Bluesbreaker BB2, Jackhammer JH1) and (for a single effect dedicated pedal) in terms of tone, bang for buck & solid construction, this range of pedals is hard to beat. BUT ......
Recently, I was put on to (by the guys here) a a Zoom multi-stomp box - the Zoom MS-70CDR - for the same £79 of a new RF1, you can have this incredibly versatile pedal that does tons of reverbs, delays, and modulations - here's a vid demo - and really could be the one for you:

it's okay. Not stellar but close your eyes and it makes you sound like you're in a cave/ the bog/ a hallway/ George Osbourne's cranium. Does the job.
Hall of Fame is the best verb I own, but that's not really budget,
As others have said the Zoom MS70CDR is worth a look at. It models lots of the expensive reverb pedals, plus has delays, modulations and one of the best noise suppression algorithms around.

Seems like the Marshall Reflector is a good option and strangely I see loads second hand going for little or no money. Looks as if the Behringer is also an option and one I wouldn't have thought of, for some reason I had always ruled Behringer out but for no good reason.
Thanks VERY much @Voxman for the detailed info and particularly for the links.....!
I had also considered the Hall of Fame pedals second hand as they clearly have a great reputation and likewise the Boss Fender FRV. The Boss pedals I've had have always been well made and I've never had a problem with any of them.
One of the nicest reverb pedals I've heard is the EH but my experience of EH has been pretty dreadful over the years with all but one failing for one reason or another so I've tended to steer clear.
I will check out the HOF mini and the Zooms as I've never heard of HOF and like with Behringer, I'd never have considered a Zoom. And I keep seeing the Mooer Shimverb popping up so I will have to check that out too!
Once again, thanks for all the great ideas and I will now get on utube and start listening to all of the above!!!!
