You can't go wrong with the Wampler or MP, I have a MP and have played the Wampler, both great, simple pedals that sound awesome!!

How does the Neunaber Wet behave in effects loops? Is it more for out front of the amp or loop capable?

I have the TC Electronic HOF.
It's a well rated verb pedal and it does have some nice verbs.
But I can't get a good spring verb from it.
Just about every spring setting sounds short and dry, nothing like a real spring verb like the one in my Fender HR DLX or the accutronics in my TubeWorks RT2100 combo.
Combining the real spring reverb of the Fender HR with the HOF results in some really cool and lush reverb.
Nice.
With the HOF I tend to use the 'plate' verb setting, and 'mod' has a really cool verb effect with some type of chorus in there.
The coolest thing about the HOF is that you can tweak a verb with the 'tone print' software on your PC and then load that new verb into the pedal.
And there are also a LOT of artist reverb creations that you can down load into the pedal, but it's limited cause there's only 1 setting so you can only import one other reverb.
If you're looking to use just 1 reverb setting, at different levels, you can try the mini HOF.
It's very compact and you can still load in a tone print reverb that you create ot tweak or import one that's already created.
For real spring reverb nothing beats a REAL spring reverb.
There's just something about the physical spring motions that interplay with the amp that a pedal just can't do.
I did recently hear the Boss Fender FDR-1 reverb pedal and that pedal is the closest to sounding like a real Fender spring reverb.
In an A/B blind test you'll question whether you really can pick out the real spring vs the pedal.

Thanks for the replies.
I agree that nothing beats real spring reverb tanks, that's why I have the Demeter Reverbulator on there now. It has dual spring tanks in it. But now I need the room it takes up on the pedal board.

Update, I ordered the Neunaber Wet Stereo. From what I've been able to dig up on it, it sounds really good.
The PC/MAC software allows you to tweak or load up different styles of reverb (shimmer) or any of their other pedals into it (Chorus, Delay, Infinity Hold).
http://neunaber.net/pages/pedal-customizer-software
Something else that made me go that way is that it has two expression pedal connections, one for Mix and the other for Depth.
In talking to Brian at Neunaber I asked about using those expression pedal connections with a 2 knob box that I could switch with my Wobo switching unit to have two different reverb settings that are switchable on the fly. Not only did he answer with a "yes", he sent me a link to the different variations of how to do it.

So I'm going to have this
and something like this, with or without the switch and added 1/4 inch jack for my switching unit.
You could do two switches using one knob for Mix and the other for Depth for different variations.
On a side note: Brian was quick to respond to several emails. I sent my first email at 11:30pm Friday night and there was a 1:19am response in my email when I got up Saturday morning. Each email I sent was replied to quickly.
