I’m looking to add some end of of signal chain effects. A small unit that doesn’t have to have lots of CV control. Something to add some ambience and fill in the sound.

Absolutely love my AD Aeverb Mk2 for the reverb end of this question. Disco’d but pop up from time to time.

Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
Probably not your top-choice, but Patchworks has the 2hp Verb at 10%-off. I got one for a perma-patched module (ISD Sampler) and it's just subtle enough and just good enough to maybe use it end-of-chain, also.
For fancier stuff, I concluded that I would get more for my money with outboard pedals for reverb and delay. Plus, I don't think reverb benefits much from CV-control, so I figured, why not? I got the Eventide Space pedal which is excellent (and affordable); same algorithm as in the H9. Also got the Source Audio Collider reverb/delay pedal, also excellent. These tend to bounce around, doing synth-duty and modular-duty as I see fit.
My actual end-of-chain effects will come from the Synthesis Technology E520 stereo effects processor which I just ordered (will be here Friday!). Maybe will get one more (you can never have too many VCAs reverbs), possibly one of the new Tiptop reverb units.

2hp Verb because I mostly do end of chain reverb in DAW. 2hp Verb sounds very decent (not amazing) and takes up almost no space so it's nice to have for when I went reverb "in the rack". Hard to beat for the money and size if you're on a $ and/or hp budget.

My modular goes stereo out from Sound Stage > BOSS RV-500 running two different delays/reverbs > Eventide Blackhole > interface.

Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
Was just looking at some audio damage the other day at analogue haven. Looks like aeverb mk2 is in stock.
https://www.analoguehaven.com/audiodamage/adm21/
I've used pico and black hole dsp2 in the past. Both work well. People really seem to like fxaid. Demos sound damn good to me.

Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
FX Aid, Mimeophon, Beads will each sometimes go at end of chain. I've got a Desmodus on the way, so Desmodus/Electus probably will see a lot of use if I don't decide it has to be Ruina full time 
Otherwise, VST plugins. I like several, but the top three are all Valhalla (Delay, Supermassive and Plate).

Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
I'll second the 2HP Verb, and it lives right at the end of my audio chain (well, before a Paratek stereo VU meter and an Intellijel Stereo Out 1U). I also have an Erbe-Verb and Echophon for reverb/delay effects that use modulation, but for a cheap and small in-rack stereo reverb that always does it's job effectively, the 2HP Verb is great.

Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
I use an Eventide Space and a racked TC M-One XL, I can manipulate the Space for fun stuff because I keep it next to my keyboard in front of my eurorack, and the TC is just set to a nice room reverb and configured as a send/return on the way to the monitors.

Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
I mostly use non eurorack gear for reverbs, i don't get the point of cv on a reverb and if need a reverb on the go I have a Pico Dsp, it's worth the money: cheap, only 3hp and it doesn't sound bad, some algorythms are better than other but for the price it's good to have one in my rack.
Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
I have a Roland Demora and an FX Aid both stereo and highly customizable and the demora can run on the desktop, sometimes Ill run through Ableton with something like Soundtoys Echoboy and Valhalla Shimmer.

Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
I've shifted from having a Dervish in reverb mode at the end of my signal path to using an ST Modular stereo sum mixer setup (https://www.st-modular.com/stereo%20sum.htm) that has selectable A/B send mixing on each channel, which is typically patched to reverb on A and delay on B (although I'm also using Beads as a send in some patches). Having this amount of control over FX is really changing my patching a lot and I'm enjoying the reduction in muddy bass, etc.

Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
Oto bim and bam are the always-on effects, but an fx aid and a parasites microcell give me the cv controlled stuff I need.
Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
Some mix of Desmodus Versio, Mimeophon, Milky Way and sometimes the Arbhar reverb. That last one is pretty spacious so you have to use it sparingly.
Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
I just had to recheck because in my head it was called Erectus Versio... which sounds more like a Harry Potter spell for curing impotence.

Zoom MS70CDR. Everything in one little box.
Good deals with: Eremitalf, ben_hex, matttech, Elevator Sound
Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
TBH if it's end-of-chain ambiance I won't really need CV, I'd use plugins. Modular will go into interface anyway. So Ableton stock reverbs (super quality for stock plugs) or Valhalla verb if you really want top quality.
If I would like a verb/delay for sound design purposes and have CV control i'd use Make Noise ones

FX Aid for various effects, Mimeophon for delay, and a Z-DSP with the Halls of Valhalla Reverb card, which has been locked on the Ensembleverb algo for the past 4 months, because i love it so much. Also have an Afterneath Reverb module, but rarely use it anymore since getting attached to the Valhalla card in the Z-DSP.
The FX Aid is pure gold for the price. you can change the algorithms on it using a Mac/PC app, and there's plenty of decent ones to choose from.

TC M3000 has a lot of settings and a nice sound but also because of the digital IO and XLR.

Re: What are you using for end of chain reverb and delay?
I am using Akai E2 Head Rush + Tonal Recall RKM + Vapor Trail + one DIY self-made BBD in conjunction with Roland RE-201 + Lexicon 480L at the end of the chain. (Today marks 3 years on this forum, yikes
) -> Also I have a different end of the signal chain inside my DAW as well. But when we are talking hardware then this is it.

Lexicon MX200 90% of the time, or FXAID XL if I want to keep it in the rack.
