I'm looking for a reverb pedal and a chorus pedal as per my first post.

Bit annoyed with my self because I did own the Strymon Blue Sky but I was very dissapointed with it and sold it ASAP on ebay with not much of a loss.  The buyer identified it was broken and fixed it which explained the poor sound......I just thought it only sounded good in stereo and not mono but for that money it should have worked any way brand new.

The Neuanbauer and Strymon blue sky sound awesome but im also tempted by the Mr Black Supermoon chrome sounds a bit more moody and eerie than the others too the Strymon sounds more pretty and nice which is cool but I always lean towards darker music.

Pity to hear about the Blues Sky. I heard so many good clips. Definitely a beauty.
A good, simple chorus is the old Boss CE-2.

It definitely is but im sure ill find a good alternative eventually!  I was just a bit unlucky.

I've tried a couple of Boss Chorus pedals but I didnt think much of them.  Good enough for Dave Gilmour and Zakk Wylde but not me apparently ;) I actually preffered the FAB chorus to it which was much cheaper but ive got my eye on the greenhouse effects stonefish chorus vibrato now.

There are without a doubt more lush choruspedals out there then the Boss CE-2. Like the Diamond Halo chorus, Strymon Ola, Retro Sonic chorus, etc. It just depends how important chorus is in your soundpalette. I don't use chorus much and besides that, in the bandmix you nearly can't tell what kind of chorus you're running.

Neunaber WET reverb. Stunning piece of kit.

Just listened a clip with the Neunaber vs the Strymon Blue Sky. The Neunaber sounds more organic and musical to me. Great sound. Therefore the Strymon has a lot of different sounds.

I gotta admit that I have a lot of fun messing around with my EHX Epitome. The micro pog, stereo mistress and holy grail in one casing.
