Cheap reverb pedal?

I'm after a cheap reverb pedal for my little bedroom amp at my house. I have a cathedral reverb on my main board which is superb, but I'm not after spending that much again.
I was thinking of just sticking to ehx and get an holy grail, but are there any better options out there?

Bheringer reverb machine is cheap and covers so much ground. I asked the same question a while back and got this answer.

Sweet, ill look them up! I'm guessing its not a 'tone sucker' like I've read many times about behringer pedals. Not that it would make much difference anyway cause I'm playing at such low volumes

Yeah the Behringer is an awesome little pedal, I really enjoyed the one I tried out in a shop.

If you have 'tails' on it's a tone sucker. Otherwise, very good pedal.

Apparently the buffer on these isn't the best, or is that the vintage delay I can't remember
Can't complain too much for that price though

Is it too much to take the Cathdral off your pedal board when you're playing at home?

You can't fuck about with reverb mate

My Behringer analogue delay's bypass doesn't sound too bad. But then, if you're using a practice amp, that probably doesn't sound all that great to begin with so you might not notice the difference if it was a tone sucker.
I was going to suggest the Holy Grail Nano since it'll offer some of what the Cathedral does, but even they are a hundred quid from new. Behringer's probably the way to go if you're on a tight budget.

I use a Digitech Hardwire Stereo Reverb and I love it. The hall mode in stereo is super wet and lush. I keep a dummy jack in the second output when playing through one amp to keep the reverb wet. It's not cheap new ($150), but I got one for 80, and have seen it go for as low as 60 a couple times.

I got a brand new EHX holier grail reverb a while back for super cheap brand new when they got discontinued and I love to tinker with it at home. Give EHX a shot. Probably not the Holier though but there are a few versions.

I could take the cathedral off and take it home but I know that ill forget it one day, and I can't live without that beautiful verb on my board.
Ill go for the nice cheap behringer as it seems it's well worth the money, cheers guys!
