After trying many different effects pedals and rack units, I've recently been using Eventide stompbox pedals. Click images for Amazon's product page. As mentioned, the Blackhole reverb in the Space stompbox is excellent for my electric violins as well as for guitar and synth patches. Eventide makes a software version of Blackhole as well, which was a PAR Excellence award nominee.
