So you prefer merc 7 not source audio collider for ambient type reverb?
What delay do you use with merc 7?

Mercury 7 Reverb by Meris : is lovely
Ventris Reverb by Source Audio : is very cool as well for frozen reverb

I did prefer the Collider in many situations but I did a trade for a vintage Fender Jaguar which I wanted badly and the friend I made the trade with was interested in my Collider. So I sacrificed it even though I often preferred it for it’s versatility. ATM I don’t have a dedicated hardware delay some multi-FX boxes that i can utilize. I have the Meris Hedra though which is amazing and can fulfill my delay needs if necessary. I guess I’m saving up for the Polymoon now. I’d also happily buy the Collider back if I run into a cheap one. Been eyeing the new cheaper Boss 200-series too. They seem to be a lot more hands on than the 500-series was which I had earlier.
For ambient type reverb I guess I’d choose the Mercury 7 from the ones I’ve tested. The ability to pitch the reverb down an octave or a fifth is great. And the cathedral algorithm is just huge.

Do you have try another?
Sure, at the moment I’m using Specular Tempus (delay/reverb), EHX Cathedral (Reverb), Audio Source Nemesis (Delay) and to experiment before bying other FX, I use the Zoom MS70CDR and Zoom G3N. And I also experiment a lot with the NTS-1 as an FX box.

And actually the Nightsky is my first Strymon, because I always felt they sound almost too perfect and ‘universal’, but I seem to be very wrong, because I just love this Strymon. If all Strymons respond like this one, I might switch over quite fast.

Plus one for the big sky…i have posted elsewhere that you could vomit into a microphone and the big sky would make it sound like angels singing…it has a strong character but and that can start to build up if you use it on multiple tracks.
I also am a huge fan of the t.c. electronics HOF2 downward shimmer…its lush, its dark, and not too overbearing with a character so you can add that shit to everything…

Great!
After much internet digging, I recently got a Zoom RV-500, and I don’t regret it !
Its audio quality is quite comparable to Strymon and Ventris, but you can tweak the algos and the sound much more !
IMHO, an understated pedal, full of possibilities, and enabling lot of experimental uses. Pretty valid for diverse soundscapes.
take a look at this vid :
