IMO the reverse reverb is more associated with rhythm guitar parts rather than leads, at least in the context of My Bloody Valentine, who were the pioneers of this sound:
Also aside from the reverse reverb, and sometimes a fuzz pedal, the guitars are dry. Kevin Shield didn't use chorus or delay much.
Record the hit with your favorite reverb to audio, then reverse the audio clip?
Easy with Flexi in Drambo.😉
That’s almost it.
The classic reverse reverb, that gets the timing right so that the swoop ends right on the beat, is accomplished by reversing the dry track, reverbing it (preferably to a new track), then playing it forwards again.
Source sound through a mixer.
Then the sound through eq and fully wet reverb and glitchcore.
Mix
?
Glitchcore sort of makes it a reverse delay.
Perhaps it isnt seamless or something.
Stellarvox is what you need though.
Whatever reverse reverb you've heard before ( in the past ) Should now, blow it away.
Prolly needs TB EQ PRO
Just because.
Stellarvox reverse reverb and invert/reverse.

Phonolyth Velvet Machine and Cascade can accomplish reverse reverb.
Velvet Machine has a preset named bloom.The preset name is a reference to the bloom preset in the Alesis Midiverb II. The Alesis Midiverb II was used by Kevin Shields to create some of his guitar sounds.
Start with the bloom preset and set your mix to 100% wet as your starting point. 'Draw' the envelope to your desired shape. Play around with different dry/wet mixes to hear how it changes the character of your guitar. 'Shoegaze' wasn't exclusively 100% wet reverb. Velvet Machine won't sound identical to the Alesis because of the Alesis a/d d/a converters, differences in method of accomplishing reverberation ( all pass filter, delay, feedback, comb filter, etc ). Maybe @YuriT would share how he created his bloom preset.
Stellarvox allows reverse options. Again, start with mix at 100% wet.
Hippo mentioned the Altispace 2 Yamaha SPX90 IR's ( two different ones i think ). They sound very accurate.
The Alesis midiverb II and Yamaha SPX 90 weren't the only multi-effect units used by groups considered 'shoegaze'.
to add to @richardyot ;
the recorded guitar sounds are created by many things; unusual guitar tunings, the jazzmaster/jaguar floating trem system, reverse reverb, eq, compression, guitar amplifiers, pitch shifter, fuzz, distortion, delay, rotovibe, digitech pds 8000 looper/sampler, order of the effects chain, akai samplers, etc.
Shields has said he doesn't use chorus/modulation. Pitch shifters at cent settings create a chorus-like sound. Rotovibe is vibrato/chorus/rotary. Says he doesn't use reverb either.
Recording to tape, bouncing to akai sampler, changing speed/pitch, reversing maybe, then back to tape? Shields was also said to sample guitar feedback. The digitech pds 8000 was also great for overdubbing/layering/changing speed/pitch.
