Here is a sample of all the Zoom CDR70 Reverbs - I just cycled through factory presets with no adjustments and just noodled.

I like the one you are using at :32. Sounds spacey! The next one sounds very melancholie.
I like the one at 2:29 too, and 3:36. Towards the end you were sounding a lot like a trumpet.

So..., What's your mic setup?
That looks like an interesting pedal. I wonder if you can mono input and use the stereo output as a splitter to 2 amps without any signal degradation(?).

If you're after just spring reverb go with the LW. I am not a huge fan of reverb. I do use the pitch delay reverb called Shimmer, though. There are a few grippy ones on the demo I noodle with too.
My preference is delay...and there are sweet ones on the Zoom. The LW V2 sounds better for analog sounds with harp, but I generally play dry nowadays and use delay gor specific delays.
I use a SM58 all the time.

Since I was involved with LW Reverb, the sound of it is entirely based on the classic spring reverb sound and a real spring reverb always made it seemed like you are playing louder than you really are and this is precisely one of the things I wanted for the pedal and for my ears, this is one of the few outside of having either a vintage amp with a built in spring reverb tank or an outboard all tube spring reverb tanks that pulls this off right and nearly all other reverb pedals that have several different reverb options often fail to properly duplicate.
Waht Harp Ninja shows here are more of the types of reverbs, just about all digital types, that you'e gonna see in a recording studio, often mixed in later and those types almost never make it seem like you're playing louder than what you're really at.
Just like there are many different reverb types, there are many different delay types as well, from analog to digital as well as tape delays (and only a few delay pedals I've ever heard to a really good tape delay, and one of the things that's part of the really good tape delays is even comes down to the duplication of tape hiss and if it ain't got the sound of the tape hiss, it ain't a real tape delay, something you'd hear in old Echoplexes, the original Roland Space Echoes, etc.)
@HarpNinja -- Do the reverbs you use seemingly seem to increase volume and also if there are both tone controls and a wet/dry mix inn them as well?

@barbequebob -- I too love the old reverb tanks and have been using a SoleMate spring reverb pedal for the last couple of years and I think it works great. Have you played through the Sole Mate and if so how do you think it compares with the LW pedal you helped develop?
And also, what do you think of oil can delays- the old Tel Rey units that were also sold by Fender and Gibson? I have an early Fender unit and when it's working it gives some DEEEEP reverb. I know Ry Cooder is a big fan of the oil can. Mine needs a tune up (new oil and belt, etc.) and it's too unreliable to gig with, but it THE best delay/echo/reverb (not sure what you'd call it) I've ever heard.

@PropMan -- I haven't tried out a Sole Mate, so it would be unfair for me to make any comments on it one way or the other.
I've never had the chance to use one of those oil can setups, which are legendary, especially for use in recording studios. In some ways, it's kinda like having an old Roland Space Echo or Echoplex where getting tapes can be a real problem because they're so rare now and they do wear out or break or get caught in the capstans fairly frequently and need to have the tape heads demagnetized from time to time.

As far as delays goes, I'm presently using the LW Delay (the first one), which is darker and has more of an analog delay feel, the early tube driven Echoplex, Univox Echo (considered a poor man's Echoplex), the original Roland Space Echo, and a Guyatone MD-2 for a digital delay. Most digital delays I'm not fond of because too often thee's too much emphasis on the highs. Two of the most popular delays, the Dan Echo and the Boss DD3 often times needed a mod to properly match the impdance of certain mics like crystals/ceramics because of the noise stemming from impedance mismatches. The great thing about the LW delays and reverbs for harp players is that it almost doesn't matter what mic you use because they just about always matches the true impedance of whatever mic you're using.
Most of the time, I set up a delay more for different levels of slap back or more often, more like a sort of a faux reverb feel.
