That's pretty rad.

Isn't the context a granular delay?
good deals are here.

Context is a reverb, Particle is the granular delay/weird pitch shifter.

The 80s verb and harmonic trem on the Flint have become essentials to me. I can't not have it on my board. That said, I really like my Digiverb and it cost me like $30 bucks. Run the reverse or gated verb into something and it gets rad.

RM-1Ns pop up used here quite often. If you can wait two weeks I bet one will show up.

@D.o.S I've already got the Particle delay...it's a bit of a mindf*ck at first, but you can dial in some incredibly beautiful weirdness from it. There is no other pedal like it, love mine.

@bewatersound If I actually wanted a "Spacey" reverb, I'd want the trails to be a sarcastic version of the dry signal.

No pedal engineer has yet been able to achieve this....yet.

Also, I already have a Stereo Wet on the other board and it sounds incredible.

I tried the ones you mentioned in your post and many more but for big ambient reverbs the ones that really stood out to me are:
Dr Sci Bitquest
Mr Black Supermoon
Neunaber Stereo Wet

Nice characterful reverb:
EQD Ghost Echo

The Blue Sky sounded quite plastic / artificial and metallic to me, in a bad way.
The Flint is okay but it really can't come near the other ones I mentioned.
The Context has one big disadvantage and that is that it has a level drop on the longer verbs, it makes everything sound weaker and less present.
good deals with: the_brow, phantasmagorovich, alexsga, DarkAxel, goroth, The Wood Wizard, Tendollarcat, vbps, monkeydancer, intothegroove, Brobee

@Tristan Well the "small board" is settled on:

It sounds beautiful. The other board goes Cleanness>Rat 2>Moog MF Delay>Red Panda Particle>H9 Max>Neunaber Stereo Wet, so can still get some incredible sounds from that one as well. I just wish there wasn't a 500 mA input left on that board's power supply, it's just staring at me, unused!
