Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb

An entirely serviceable reverb pedal. There's not a whole heck of a lot to say about it, as it doesn't do anything remarkably well, nor does it leave much of an impression. I've since switched to the spring tank in my Blues Jr. and more out-there reverb offering in the Eventide H9.

The one thing I really liked doing with the "spring" mode on the Holy Grail was to run it before fuzz and overdrive. Reverb into a Tubescreamer-type OD does some really cool stuff, and it gives it that much more surf-y goodness.

Still, I have a massive soft spot for EHX, and could throw together a suitably weird, cheap, fun, and good-sounding board of nothing but their products in an afternoon. And this would be on that board.
