Check out the Chasm Reverb- very nice

+1 on the Chasm. Lots of off board wiring if you build the pcb yourself but DeadAstro supplies one that simplifies the wiring.
Mine works great for guitar and vocals, either in front of an amp or in the effects loop.

I'm going to build a Rub-a-Dub Reverb Deluxe.

I'm waiting the components yet.
Seems nice to me, but if it is too much for you should be some version more simple than this.

The Chasm is really great, but it might be a little bit difficult for a second pedal. Take a look at the Solstice by Merlin.

I agree with Jdansti.  You could also look up Merlin's Equinox II which I believe is an updated version of the Solstice.  I've built a jfet-less version of this pedal and I find it very effective and not too difficult.  I built his Small Time Delay as my second pedal and managed to get it to work  8).  Whatever you decide you won't regret it regardless of the outcome.  The feeling of satisfaction you get when they work, especially when you've had to work out a few bugs, is addictive.

Hi Cozybuilder  i like the Chasm Reverb but is to  difficult for me :/
Elijah-Baley I will decide to make the Rub-a-Dub Reverb Deluxe is too close to me but can you say how to connect the pots and the footswitch ??
Thanks you everyone

Meanwhile here we will find the schematic, the bill of materials ans some information.

I'm not begin it yet, so I can help you just for general info and suggestion.

This is the veroboard I will use:

You can read on that where and how you can connect the pots. The peculiar thing is the dual pot, but the indications is all in the layout image.

About the off board wiring where connect jacks, dc jack, led and footoswitch you have to choice some layout. There are different ways. You have to search the tonepad one, or madbeanpedals, tagboardeffects, General Guitar Gadget (GGG)...
Try to understand it, reading the schematic, follow the wire and be careful to the ground wires.

If you have some doubts try to search in the forum on the web. I'm pretty sure you can find something to help you.
With my few pedals I have opted to the layout following the "original project". I build on stripboard. For the Micro Amp I followed the GGG wiring, for the Bazz Fuss the tagboardeffects wiring. When the board was a bit different from the "original PCB" I have added a wire or two after some tests and fails.

If you want this is the basic version:

If you are planning on a Vero build, then the Chasm may not be for you. I built both the Chasm and Equinox II on perf, they are each worthwhile. The Chasm has more versatility, and the Printed Circuit Board Rob offers is first quality (I bought one), which really simplifies the build. The Equinox II is easy to stuff into a 1590A, and offers a single control, very nice. I'm not sure if PCBs are offered for the Equinox though. I think you'll be happy with any of the suggested projects above though.

I wanted avoid the Chasm because I thought was too much hard for me, at the moment. I build only with stripboard.
I want a versatile reverb, something more to the D-Verb, and the Rub-a-Dub Deluxe seems easy enough and it has more then one control.

Probably we should "see" when I start a topic about my reverb. ::)
