Recommend me a reverb pedal?

[Mduffy]

I just traded my hot rod deluxe for a 70's bassman head and a 112 open backed cab. It sounds great, I play with a lone star American strat with single single hum. The only thing missing from my sound is reverb. I loved the soaking tone that the deluxe gave me when the reverb was cranked.

I play with a boss bd2 mostly always on for tone, and a few delays.

What reverb pedal would sound closest to the tanks in the hot rod?

The Subdecay Spring Theory is a good choice for a spring sim in a small form factor. Boss also makes a reverb that's modeled after old fender reverbs. You could also look into a used Danelectro Spring King if you want a physical spring for a decent price. Of course, if you have a bit of money set aside and want to go the spring route, you could look into a Van Amps Sole Mate.

Stupid expensive now, but I love the sound of the Malekko Spring Chicken.

How are those Little Lanilei True Spring Reverbs? Always curious about those. It's a real spring reverb in a little box yeah?

My ghost echo really fattens up my tone and breaths life into my fuzzzzzzzy tones, but I use it more subtley than drippin'. What I have heard from the Dr. scientist RRR is very impressive for driiiiipin wet tones.

Good suggestions all around I would also look at the neunaber wet or a strymon flint if you might want a good trem as well.

having been after a similar thing I found the wampler faux spring to be the best available

I didn't find the spring theory to be as impressive (i did get to demo one). Needless to say Wampler is sending me a Faux Spring for my rig

The demos I heard online of the vanamps left me uninspired.

RRR or bust.

My choice would be the Dr Scientist Mini Reverberator or alternatively for a less rootsy type feel the Boss RV2/RV3 (Rv2=better simple verbs, RV3=amazing mode 11 or whatever, the last one lol) or Digitech Digi Verb. All three are class choices and range from about $50 second hand to whatever the MiniR is new.

If you want spring, buy the Cathedral that's in BST. Dem toan controls are awesome.

For everything else, RRR.

that cathedral in BST is at a great price too.
