Topic: Van Amps Sole Mate Reverb Pedal

Anyone using the Van Amps Solemate Reverb pedal?  The you-tube clips sound outstanding.  I have reached the point where If I had to make a choice I would take a reverb pedal over a delay pedal.  I am finding that delay can actually get in the way of fast alternate picking, but reverb accentuates it by adding ambiance and clean sustain.  I am using a Digitech Hardwire Reverb pedal and it sounds great, but there is always that incurable feeling that there is something out there that is better.  Is Joe still using his Boss reverb pedal?  Any comparisons/descriptions of the Solemate, versus the Digitech or Boss would be greatly appreciated!

The solemate definitely sounds good. I have no experience with it on the road. If you decide on getting it, I would still keep the Hardwire just in case something happens to the spring unit.
