Best Electric Guitar Delay & Reverb Effects of 2025

"I replaced my pricey BOSS VE-8 with this unit. Surprisingly well-built for the price, it enhances the signal of my acoustic guitar pickups and offers EQ adjustments. The firm knobs and XLR output are nice touches."

"As a seasoned rock guitarist, I find this Sonicake pedal to be a true joy. It delivers great-sounding reverb and echo at an unbeatable price. Solid construction and clear controls make it easy to use, and it sounds fantastic with my amp!"

"The effects from this pedal are incredible. For my guitar, I need reverb that has depth and character, and this pedal does just that. It's also compact and versatile, providing excellent value for the price!"

"I purchased this delay pedal in November 2024 after searching for the perfect option on Amazon. The sturdy metal case assures me it’ll withstand regular stage use. I love that the controls are on top, making it fit easily on my crowded pedal board. The big knobs are easy to adjust, and it adds just the right amount of delay without altering my sound. I’ve found TC Electronic gear to be of the highest quality for the best price. My only complaint is the color, which I find unappealing."

"In my experience, this pedal is exactly what it claims to be: a basic analog delay at a great price. The metal enclosure is nice, and the graphics look cool to me. It’s an excellent affordable delay pedal, not just a cheap one. I’ve always found TC Electronic products to deliver quality."

"After testing about ten delay pedals, this one stood out, and it's the one we decided to keep. We adore the metal build, the sound, and the price. It's so easy to dial in the sound we want with just three dials—it's truly no-nonsense. This pedal outperforms others we tried, including those priced at $300 or more. We're thrilled with this purchase and are eager to explore more from TC Electronic."

"As a bass player who also enjoys guitar, I've been playing for over 50 years. I ordered this pedal because I wanted to add reverb to my setups. The sturdy aluminum case and smooth knobs impressed me. The included quick start guide is helpful, but I wished for a bit more detail in the manual. Overall, I had fun with this pedal, and the price feels reasonable for the quality."

"I was excited to try the Yellow Fall 2 Delay/Reverb pedal due to its aesthetic design. It feels well made, with solid construction and a classy finish. The independent effects and easy-to-use controls impressed me. Though it’s not as deep as other dedicated pedals, it delivers great sounds for typical use, especially considering the price."

"Donner has created a versatile ambient effects pedal. The build quality is excellent, and it looks fantastic. I love the range of delays, from short slapback to longer feedback loops. The reverb options are solid, excelling in moderate settings, but perhaps not deep enough for extreme effects. Overall, this pedal is a dream for session players needing accessible delay and reverb options."

“I find the DD-8 to be an excellent pedal. It delivers the classic Boss delay sound I expected. The build quality is impressive, and I appreciate that there’s no volume drop-off when I engage the effect. The various modes offer a lot of flexibility in creating different delay sounds.”

“For me, there's no better choice in non-boutique delays than this one. It offers so many settings and functions, creating a deep, spacey delay that makes me feel like I’m in the band with Duster. I bought it and I’m living regret-free!”

“Setting this up was a breeze. I use it as my splitter for a stereo rig, and the stereo delay sounds fantastic. It's a classic pedal for a reason.”

"I find the BOSS RV-6 to be a solid reverb pedal. It allows me to create ambient sounds or enhance clean tones, especially when paired with overdrive and delay for rock music. Simple, sturdy, and versatile—it’s perfect for live performances!"

"Having played surf guitar back in the 60s, I'm really impressed with the reverb sound of the BOSS RV-6. The Spring mode delivers a genuine 'wet sound' that captures the surf vibe even better than my amps. The shimmer effect is otherworldly—definitely worth the investment!"

"This is by far my favorite BOSS pedal. The variety of reverb effects outshines those on my amp, making it incredibly versatile for both lush sounds and classic rock n roll."

"I wasn't aware of this pedal until someone recommended it to me. I decided to take a chance on it because of the good feedback about the JOYO R-Series. With a name like 'Maximum,' I expected something heavy and distorted, but it turned out to be based on the Fulldrive 2 MOSFET, closely resembling the original Tube Screamer. The controls are intuitive, and I found the Boost switch to act like a second stage of overdrive, which I really appreciated. The tonal variety is impressive, especially in Smooth mode, where it delivers a great Tube Screamer tone."

"In the mid-2010s, I started with some inexpensive Joyo drive pedals, which led me to invest in higher-quality gear later. I sold most of them, but the Baatsin is a unique find, offering eight different circuits in one pedal for around $50. It covers a lot of different sounds, and although the Joyo 'clones' don't perfectly replicate their originals, they do provide distinct tones. I find it to be a useful addition to my setup since it can handle various tasks efficiently."

"This pedal is a little trooper. Its full metal construction has helped it work flawlessly for 7 years. I believe you don’t need to spend a fortune on a tuner pedal; this one offers a nice bright screen and a sturdy yet small housing."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Donner pedal after a friend recommended it. Setting it is easy with just one dial, and it effectively cuts out most noise while still allowing for significant sustain. I think this pedal is worth every cent!"

"The Donner Noise Killer has transformed my setup. With it, the amount of unwanted feedback has drastically decreased. I found a sweet spot for my settings that allows for great sustain while eliminating noise. Highly satisfied with this purchase!"

"I recently got the Donner Tap Delay as a backup, and it has truly impressed me. The analog voicing is fantastic, with minimal low-end loss when used with my bass. The controls are straightforward, and I appreciate the quiet operation of the pedal. For around $60, it’s a steal!"

"As someone on a budget, I can't recommend the Donner Tap Delay enough. It covers all the delay settings I need—analog, digital, and reverse. I've used it for gigs, and it has allowed me to create some incredible soundscapes. Every cent spent has been worth it!"

"I was looking for an EQ for my nylon guitar, and this Donner EQ Pedal has solved all my issues. Excellent build quality and the price is very affordable. I'm thrilled with my purchase, as it gives me the control I want without adding any noise."

"As a guitarist, I've only recently started using effects pedals, but I can't imagine my setup without the Carbon Copy. It delivers a wonderful slapback sound and has truly enhanced my tone. It's simple, clean, and warm—no unwanted noise. I highly recommend it!"

"I had my doubts about the Carbon Copy initially, feeling it was more subtle than I expected. However, after running it through my tube amp, it has become a serious game-changer. The tone is incredible, and it's now doing everything I hoped for!"

"I love the analog echo this pedal provides. It adds a beautiful dimension to my sound without cluttering it. The modulation circuit gives it depth that really enhances my playing. After trying various delays, this has been my favorite!"

“Not a professional musician, just jamming in my basement. This pedal is pretty sweet with multiple reverbs and lots of knobs that do different things. Great value overall!”

“I had low expectations for this pedal, but I can confidently say it’s the best reverb pedal you’ll find. Nine reverb sounds in one pedal, and I highly recommend the Shimmer and Cloud effects!”

“When I first plugged in the pedal, there was no sound at all. A loud whine followed, but on my third try, I finally got some signal. The popping sound when I step on the foot switch is really loud, making it hard to use despite the good reverb effects.”
