Reverb pedals?

I've asked about reverb pedals in the past...
I have owned the Neunaber Immerse and currently own a Dr. Scientist Reverberator.
Thats my reverb experience, besides a '76 Pro Reverb combo I used to own.

I'm not looking for ambient.

I don't want a lot of options or screens/pages like some of these digital units.

What I am actually looking for would be something that has that "produced/studio" sound like exactly on the record. Has some air to it, but not overpowering.
Smooth out the amp a little.
My amp in a big room with no effects like my barn sounds glorious. My amp in my little room within the house with no effects doesn't sound nearly as close to the same. Reverb is just to give me that space.
Faux JTM45 amp gain, reverb would be installed in loop of PS2.

The Flint has been offered up to me. I bought one used from GC a while back but didn't like it. However, there are parameters that could have been tweaked prior to me purchasing. Never tried a new one, but does seem to be a fan favorite.

Geez, proof reading makes me think I am asking for a chorus too...
 
This is fantastic for vintage fender reverb and vibrato.

It’s tube buffered and real springs.

So what did you not like about the Flint?

Flint V1 and V2 should sound pretty much the same so no need to look for V2.

I use a Source Audio Collider on my board, but the Flint is still my "stupid easy, no bad sounds" reverb recommendation. While its spring reverb is not the best in the business, it's solid and the plate and hall are good. It's easy to make it mix with the base amp sound so it doesn't get in the way.

I think the used Flint I got from GC had either something wrong with it or parameters were changed with the internal trims?
My buddy told me I should have just purchased a new one, and I know the crapshoot that GC used is...

Blue Sky v2 is the best I've played. Owned the Golden Reverberator too, but it's not quite as good.

Those UA pedals seem nice.
I was checking out the Golden, a little fancier than what I was expecting to look at.
My patience for dialing in can be relatively short at times.

I know, I am asking for a unicorn.

Probably just gonna have to freeze playing in the barn this winter, lol.
All for tone of course.

There aren't internal trims on the Flint. There are secondary functions, but nothing that would really screw things up with the reverb (you can change order of reverb and tremolo; apply a boost to when either the reverb and/or tremolo are activated).

Sounds like you are just looking for a good Hall reverb if you didn't get along with the Flint -- the Flint is great for plate, okay for spring, and great for a sort of modulated 80s digital reverb thing, but not exactly something I would choose for "I just want the air/space of a bigger room in my small room". I also don't equate "produced/studio sound" with a short spring tank/tremolo pedal.

Maybe something as simple as the JHS series 3 Hall reverb pedal? Doesn't really have any modulation, super simple controls but still includes an EQ so you can adjust the brightness of the tail. Boss RV-6 would also be a solid shout.
 
The Surf Rider pedal from Solid Gold FX is a great pedal for spring reverbs. This video is about the Shermy signature version but there’s also a ”normal” version the pedal. I think the external styling is the only difference (I just dig the Surfrajettes)

Appreciate the response.
Youre picking up what I'm putting down!

I've been using one of the plate settings on my Reverberator, same with the Immerse when I owned it.
I have no issues with hall at all.
I should have thought about that...
 
Tom Bucovac disagrees re: Flint.

I like it, but I did not find it a "doesn't make a bad noise" pedal -- setting of ideal range of the color knob was not wide for me, and I only found it useful for fairly colorful/characterful reverb. If OP didn't like...I don't see why he'd want to revisit it, especially if he ditched the Neunaber because he didn't like it (another fairly colorful/characterful reverb).
 
I thought the Flint was bland, tepid, and boring.

How about something like the Volante----where you can get your
Drum Echo/Binson and your Spring on in the same bad-ass pedal.

Low Mix/Low Repeat Delay can make a great room filler, too.
 
I don't like UAFX as a company, but this thing sounds better to me than the the Flint, the RV-200 and anything from Fractal, including the new VP4*.

Another +1 for the Golden. Excellent spring, 140 plates that sound like their plugin version and a great take on the Lex 224. Sounds good enough that I can set aside the shunted feature set and frustrating app experience.
