Gary, can you describe the reverse effect a bit? I've been bummed that the
budget-level Boss pedals all have this reverse-plus-forward mix, and I'm
looking for one that responds like the older Boss pedal (referred to as the
Adrian Belew pedal by some). If I remember correctly (and this could have
been some dream fragment...) it actually stored your sound and spit it 
back,
backwards, when triggered by your next sound. Your description of the
DigiTech reverse function - and any other details of this pedal (like its
sound-mangling qualities when you crank a knob while playing,
fer'instance) - will surely be appreciated by all of us loopers on a 
budget.
