You won't be able to get a decent (if any) reverb for under $500.  Most of
them start at about $800.  I looked at the Yamaha (don't remember the model
number) digital reverb last nite, which sells around here (DC) for $1000,
and it's REALLY nice.  It's got all these presets, like ``large room,''
``small club,'' etc.  It also comes with a remote control.  I believe it
will also function as a normal delay, so if you're serious about getting
reverb and delay, this would probably be a good one.

However, if real reverb isn't that important, I recommend a delay by
Digitech.  I can't remember the model number -- it's something-1900.  Up to
2 seconds of delay, infinite repeat, input/output level controls, speed &
width settings, level meter (LED bargraph), CV input, phase/mix/dry out.
All inputs/outputs are 1/4" jacks.  It's got 4 rough delay settings --
flange, chorus, double, and echo, plus a find-tune control.

I'm completely satisfied with the unit.  I use it all the time, with a
variety of instruments -- bass, guitar, and vocals.  A friend uses it on his
keyboard setup.

The best part about this is the price -- lists for $260 (I think), but they
are selling here for ~$225.  I got mine for $200 because it was a demo.
