I have a Bassman 50 head that I use for cleans, it has no effects and I was looking for a nice reverb pedal to put in front of it. Any recommendations?

What kind of music?
How much money?
Stereo?
Midi?

For straight ahead reverb the RV6 is hard to beat. For something more adventurous I absolutely love my Mr Black Supermoon.

Having used a Boss RV-6 and a Strymon BlueSky, I can recommend the Boss. It’s the best, in the sense that it’s really easy to find, and very affordable.

Yeah RV-6 is killer.
Digitech Polara is awesome, loaded with Lexicon algorithms.
TC Hall of Fame is great for the Toneprints.

How is the RV-5 in comparison to the RV-6?

Both are good but the 6 sounds clearer in all modes. And it has the shimmer mode, which can be fun.

I dont think you'd be unhappy with the RV5 but the difference in price between the 2 used is usually $30-40 so I'd just get the RV6. It's worth the small price difference.

glitch in the matrix

The 5 is the worst Boss reverb, IMO. It had a gross brightness I couldn't tune out.

The RV-6 is an awesome pedal. If the OP isn't going to answer any of my questions, then I guess I'll just recommend the RV-6.

My apologies for not replying to this post earlier.

Not looking to spend much more than $100 bucks, I don't use cleans much (mostly high gain stuff) so I'm not looking for the greatest reverb ever made, just something usable.

Don't need stereo, and don't need midi. I'm a caveman.

It sounds like the RV-6 is what I'm looking for, thanks to everyone for their advice.

I'd say get a Dispatch Master and never give a fuck about effects again lol.

RV-6.

Strymon flint is worth consideration too, if you ever want a flexible tremolo as well

If you want trem + spring, also check out source audio true spring. Ridiculously good sound.

Full send
Source Audio Collider. It’s only almost 400 bucks. This is my next pedal purchase

If you're also looking for a delay, it doesn't have tap tempo but the EQD Dispatch Master sounds lovely and has a solid reverb.

For that combination J Rockett‘s Mr Moto should as well get a honorable mention - but as well way above the given budget

The Keeley DDR has a good reverb and or Delay and Dist/Overdrive all in one. Probably find a used one for a reasonable price.
