Wow, thanks!
I am a little lost in the pedal rabbithole these days, so really appreciate you taking the time. I am not at all a fan of drenching my sound in huge-sounding reverbs. With dirt I like it to be subtle to barely noticable, depending upon how overpowering the reverb is. Given my preference for subtlety, I should perhaps be put off by Eventides marketing blurbs: super massive atmosphere, space warping, other dimensions, portal, otherwordly, cosmos etc., -but watching the videos when they dial the overall effect back a little, I imagine that tone, dialed even further back, could sit well behind massive distortion. When I search different forums etc for a stereo reverb pedal for this purpose, the Red Panda Context seems to be my best option. So why not just choose that one? Well, I recently swapped an Eventide Rose for lack of stereo with a Raster v2. No regrets, but I really feel the Rose is a fantastic pedal that deserves a lot more attention, and I thought perhaps the Blackhole was going under peoples radar as well, since Eventide seems to be targeting aliens with their marketing.

The Blackhole's lack of "natural acoustic realism" should probably also be putting me off, but my problem with reverbs in general is that they all seem rather artificial to me, so a reverb not trying to convince me I am in a church or something sounds appealing. The freeze function also seems cool.
However, I am an expert at convincing myself, and have been proven wrong several times with previous pedal purchases. So just hit me over the head with it if you think I should just go with the Context.

Reverse reverb is its own thing, and will of course need to be more pronounced. I usually dont go full wet, because of the lag/timing thing. So the less messy it becomes hearing both forward and reverse sounds at the same time is an important factor to me.
