As an ambient guitarist, I love how you said the Vongon could get into ambient territory... then Brian Eno territory. Yes, we all know - Eno is on an entirely different level. Also, I could've sworn the first one you played was a Flint. I was convinced. Then I was bummed, because the Flint is such a killer pedal. Then... you showed off the Flint. Good man. Lastly, I know you have the Microcosm. Try running it in effects only mode and try out the reverb on that. It'll blow your mind at how good it sounds.

The reverb pedal that stays with me always is the HOF Mini from TC. Even though there's only 1 knob, I can program it to do all sorts of stuff. It's currently set up like this: when the knob is fully counter-clockwise, it's set to a 40ms predelay with no reverb - basically a thickener or doubler. As I turn the knob up it goes into slapback. At halfway up the predelay is at 0 and I have a 'normal' hall reverb. At fully clockwise, it's set to a lush ambient 'wire choir' setting with modulation. I put the biggest knob I could find on it, and I can move between these settings with my foot easily.

Extreme reverb sounds are dark and depressing, surf music makes people happy. *Check out Dick Dale and Stevie Ray playing Pipeline on youtube.

Reverbs are two categories for me. I have a Holy Grail Neo as an “always on” reverb. I just love it for subtle reverb and it’s a great price for something that is more a tone feature than an “effect.” Then I usually use an Eventide Blackhole for more crazy reverbs. Two completely different purposes but equally important.
