Curious which piece of Elektron kit has the best verb?
Best sounding: Analog Four
Most flexible: MonoMachine
Most reverbs: Octatrack
My favourite: Octatrack (Dark Reverb)

Is there much of a difference between A4/AK, AR, DT, DN and Models reverb?

No, afaik DT DN AR A4 all have the same verb and delay

Thx, I wasnāt 100% sure. They all have the same parameters, but wait, the models have less parametersā¦(reverb size and tone, delay time and feedback).
Digis and Analogs seem to have the same reverb and delay.
My fav reverb is from the AK (so the all around Supervoid Reverb), OTs Dark Reverb is close tho.
And OTs plate reverb is fantastic for adding a little extra sparkle on all sorts of percussion, especially hats.

āBestā is subjetive and to judge it you would have to have experience with all Elektron devices.

Not trying to bum anyone out, just wanted to hear everyoneās subjective opinion. Iāve owned nearly everything at some point - even the sfx-6 and Iāll chime in and say analog keys has the dank verb of em all.

When I first got my DT I was surprised by the āquality of soundā and the reverb on that. It seemed to be a lot better than any of my earlier Elektron boxes. Iād still say that the reverb and the overall colour of sound is better on my DT and DN than on my AK or the OT, MnM, MD or AR Iāve had previously.
It could be totally psychological but even my bandmate whoās somewhat of a āgold earā felt that the DT had some āmagic sprinkleā in itās sound and he really dislikes everything by Elektron usually.

I agree BUT I have learnt its for adding ambience to samples, its just not like a studio or creative reverb where you can do all sorts of thing with big long crystal clear tails.
Once you accept that, they are actually OK to work with and have decent shaping controls. If you need a cool reverb you just have to use something else.

Yeah itās great for hi pass and short metallic sounds.
I think it sounds great, especially for a reverb on a drummachine. Itās not a dedicated reverb box

I donāt know for other Elektron devices, but the reverb on the DT is better than every other reverb I heard on this kind of gears in this price range.
It also beat lot of vst plugins reverb but speaking about VST I feel valhalla is better.

A4 reverb is better because it sounds great + thereās an FX track with plocks and LFO. 
It tends to crack if you send too much bass though, so using the HP filter is almost mandatory.

ā¦tone and takt share the sameā¦
ā¦ot is on itās ownā¦
ā¦not sure if rytm and a4 also share the sameā¦but i love my a4 oneā¦
and on there, fx got their own laneā¦dunno about the rytm thoughā¦
but a4 reverb differs defenitly a lot from the digiāsā¦
The synth voices that hit the reverbs sound much different but if you send the DN or DT dry - into the A4ās external input, through the reverb, youāll hear it is the same reverb algorithm as the Digis (and AR)
In fact, you already can:

ā¦i seeā¦erā¦hearā¦ 
Would it be true to say that even though the Analog and Digi-* have the same reverb algorithm, itās curated differently? As I recall from demoing a Digitone, itās reverb had fewer editing options than my A4. With the A4, itās pretty easy to wander off the beaten path when editing the reverb, so that you may end up some place unpleasant. The Digiās, with fewer editing options, may help keep you from getting lost in the woods. So even though itās the same algo, it sounds ābetter.ā
