I've read many posts here regarding reverb pedals and the most common seems to be the Holy Grail or now Holy Grail Plus, with a few others using the Boss RV-5 and similar price/capabilities.

I have no idea if there is anything new and exciting in the marketplace. I really am not a wild user of reverb so I want the middle ground of sounding good (as good or better than most stock reverbs) but at a reasonable price point between $125--$175.

One of the amps I would be using it with is an AC30 with an effects loop but no level control if that factors into anything. Down the road, perhaps a Stiletto.
 
Mr. Springgy reverb. Unbelievable reverb pedal. I've had the Holy Grails and the Plus version as well the Verbzilla. The Lee Jackson is by far away a better sounding pedal. Here's is a YouTube clip of one that is a fairly good representation:

I bought one direct from Lee Jackson's website and it was here in two days.
 
Check out the Electro Harmonix "holiest grail" Reverb pedal sound clips. It has 9 adjustable parameters and can store your presets. Costs about $270.

I don't have issues with spending money on "wired" devices like solid state pedals (like a fulltone OCD or a tubescreamer). When it comes to digital stuff, to me it seems like it could quickly lose its value over time because companies continuously introduce devices with better sampling rates, better DSP chips, gobs of presets, and more tweakable parameters.
