Suggestions for heavy, atmospheric reverb like Supermoon?

I came across Mr. Black's Supermoon pedal (http://proguitarshop.com/mr-black-supermoon-modulated-reverb.html) and was very intrigued, so I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for DIY alternatives. From what I understand it is a modulated reverb capable of very long tails, but maybe there is some other custom stuff going on.

I've looked at General Guitar Gadget's D-VERB digital reverb project (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTFmZLeULpw), but it doesn't seem like quite what I'm looking for. I already have a pretty sweet, but gentle, spring reverb built into my tube amp, and am really looking for something super heavy that can give me atmospheric/cave-like reverb for post-rock style playing (Explosions in the Sky, God is an Astronaut, Godspeed You Black Emperor, etc).

Already planning to build an Echo Base delay (http://www.madebymike.co.uk/echobase.shtml), which may be able to accommodate some of the sway/modulation effects of the Supermoon, but I still really need a super-heavy reverb unit.

Any suggestions?

Looks perfect!

Do you have some source files for the PCB design, or an etched PCB for sale? I don't have time to go through the home-etching process, and would much rather use a low-cost service like OSH Park or Seeed's Studios Fusion PCB, which would take care of etching, drilling and through-plating everything for me.

i was looking for info on the supermoon- cant find any gutshots or anything- is it belton brick based?  i didnt think there was anyway to control the modulation on the belton modules, but the supermoon has modulation control

I remembet seeing that it was dsp based and that they built their own algorithms for it rather than using existing, but can't remember the source of that info.

+1 on the Chasm.  Can get really huge and imparts a very nice tone. Love it!
