i dig that too but it seems like what it does can be done by any spring emulator (don't get me wrong i have two spring reverbs outside of amps) and some grit going into it. or after it.
you CAN smack it and make that dub crack though.

you know how it is man everything out there is trying to emulate analog or spring or tape or whatever unless it's straight up meant to be that cold digital.
i personally don't like danelectro pedz but you could get their spring king for like 100. or could go for it and get a vanamps sole-mate (one of the two springs i have, they're nice).
or just save up and get a vermona.

I've owned a meteore and a dba reverberation machine and I ended up moving both of them. The meteore is vanilla af and it had an obnoxious, fixed predelay that made it impossible to sound like anything other than a meteore. The dba was nicer and had a very nice modulation to it, but I found it hard to use as a reverb. It's more of a fuzz pedal that happened to have reverb built in. It also had a sort of secondary distortion to it, that occurred when you really dug in. It didn't sound all to pleasant and it wasn't very predictable so I ended up moving it as well.
I just picked up a eqd ghost echo, which I like a lot. It sounds like a more organic version of the meteore, minus the overdrive and with a slight bit of modulation. It has a predelay, but its adjustable and doesn't sit as high in the mix as the meteore. I like it a lot, and I think I would recommend it over the other two, but its also fairly new so I can't say for certain yet. I do like its price a lot more than the other two. I paid 85 for it compared to $175 for the two others.
I also have an industrialectric sitting in my room, but I'm on holiday so I haven't touched it yet. I'll update this once I do

If it's for synth just get a couple of older rack units. Most you can program to sound pretty lofi and grimy like a Quadraverb

Yea, quadraverb plate gets very ugly fast.

Co-sign old rack shit for being a gold mine here.
Either that or stick some garden hose thread on the business end of a piezo driver and ram a microphone up a length of hose.

Why don't you just make him and I a dirty reverb. COME ON!!!!!! I want all your pedals damn it!!!!

Pedal housed reverb is in the distant works, but you can't rush it. Still immersed in cherry picking the contenders from the lunatic asylum though.
To give you an idea of how hard I like to be on myself, I spent time with a book from the early 1960s on building digital stages from discrete transistors before cracking the book on prepackaged logic circuits. I'm on to coding C now, so, ever closer or some shit.
Eventually...
(returns you to the previously scheduled programming)

holy grail with built in fuzz.
I spent the evening figuring this thing out and it is seriously awesome.
I built a modified colorsound one knob fuzz (aka colorsound fuzz box) into my holy grail.
And the best part?
It’s only in the wet/reverb path which was the tough part to nail down.
No schematic + SMD circuit board = giant headache.
For a while I was running a boss ls-2 with my reverb into a rat in a loop to get this sound but that took up way too much space and I hate boss buffers.
It can add a wash of unintelligible white noise or beautiful dissonant harmonics.
With the fuzz cranked the reverb will feedback and almost self oscillate.
Think psychocandy/early raveonettes/a place to bury strangers and such.
I do actually have a really good idea once in awhile.

Get the Spring King like space6oy said. Cheap and dirty in a good way, dub slap city.
