does anyone here find a "reverse" effect tool useful or creative?

[prodeucer]

I don't believe I have this tool but I've been curious about it to add depth or to catch someone's attention. Is it a good effect to have? Which box has it? Is it usually included in samplers?

Some CD players have it, most DAWs make it pretty easy to play a track or section of a track in reverse. Some samplers do too. Depends on what you want it for and how you like to work...

There's a tonne of these.. Most samplers can do it, in my Maschine I can flip a switch and it'll play any sample in reverse. There's also a whole lot of buffer and stutter effects on the market, they take incoming audio, chop it and, among other things, reverse it on the go. It's a pretty nifty effect, but also one that wears out it's welcome quickly and doesn't take a whole lot of skill or originality to pull off. Used sparingly it's pretty effective though.

I'm pretty sure almost every DAW has this as a regular audio process by now.

you can reverse any sound easily with the simple fl sampler, as far as useful the only thing ive ever used it for is mayber a shizzley build up with a cymbal when i was first learning

Yes and no. A lot of great hip hop albums, things by 8 ball MJG and Street Gospel by Suga Free,have used reverse audio in their intros, but that was in a time where it was very clever to do. I would say its cheesy, unnecessary, and unappealing. But maybe you can find a new way to use it. Also, almost every DAW has a reverse tool. Get yourself a better DAW.
