I'm lookin for the best delay and/or reverb pedal(s) I can get to put in front of my Swart Space Tone 6V6SE. I don't want the amp's tone and clarity to be changed in the least bit!
I checked analogman, but they're retooling their delay pedals, and none avail right now.
Suggestions?
Thanks

You're gonna get a bunch of different answers because "best" means something different to each individual, (actually, I've noticed that here, "best" will usually most equate to cheapest!)
Why don't you get to a guitar store and try a bunch out and just buy what YOU decide is "best" for you?
Well, I agree that you should use your own ears, as I have never heard a Swart, but one you should check out is the MXR Carbon Copy analog. Good sounding delay at a fair price. Does a great slapback too.

Thanks, Rocket. I know it's a subjective thing, but I'd like some input on what others think. Unfortunately, I live in a small town and the 2 music stores here only carry the "brand name" basic stuff. I visit them often...too often!: They both have ALOT of my money!

Thanks, sun. Ya, that's the kind of info I'm lookin for. Nobody locally carries MXR. Once I get somemore feedback, I'll try to get a personal listen to some that interest me (when I travel to the big city )
In fact, I'll call Michael Swart and see if he has any recommendations, but still, keep 'em comin!

The best player I know around here locally, who plays primarily clean tones, strat and tele, through a Carr Rambler, uses it for his slapback and verb type sounds (he uses another expensive, fancy digital for tap tempo stuff), and really likes it. He is a picky tone freak too. The MXR is about $150, so not dirt cheap, but I think it sounds good to my ears, I don't notice that it colors the tone of my C-30 that I can tell, and gets good reviews. If you search "delay" or look in the pedals forum, you will find a thread where I posted some good vids to look at.
The new analog delay kit from BYOC is very cool. It offers up to a full second of delay and switchable short and long delay modes. And I can vouch that it has that nice, warm all-analog tone. I use mine all the time, generally in slapback mode. If you have some electronics experience & good soldering skills, you could build one yourself, though this is one of BYOC's most difficult kits--definitely not for beginners! Or I'd be happy to quote you a price to build one for you, either assembled & unfinished or fully painted & decaled.
Here's a couple of pics of mine:

I like my Digitech Hardwire Reverb, the modulation setting's pretty cool too.
Doesn't change the tone of the Ceriatone at all, but everyone's opinion varies. Not the cheapest, but not boutique price.

Well, it's hard to tell which is the best, but I could recommend some pedals that I think they are worth being checked out by you in shop:
Reverb:
1. T-Rex Engineering "Reverb Bug" (new small pedal)
2. Like Oldman said the Digitech "Hardwirde Reverb"
3. Electro Harmonix "Holy Grail" - great pedal, true bypass
Delay:
1. MXR "Carbon Copy" like SVL said. I love this pedal.
2. TC Electronics "Nova Delay"
3. Boss from "DD-3" on upwards. You also have a 40 second loop function in the DD-7, which is awesome when you practice licks and wann lay down a little BT.

Alot of thank you's to all you guys! You all gave me some great alternatives. I've narrowed down to abt 5 that I'll be checking out.
Thanks again for your input and suggestions! Very much appreciated!
