Members aplaneinphases Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 So i'm looking for a fairly cheap reverb. I know there are many but I need something that can do those huge, long reverbs like what is typical of post-rock and ambient. Reverse would be a bonus but not necessary. I'm looking to keep it under 150$. I have a few options in mind... EQD Ghost EchoHardwire RV-7 (i really like this but apparently doesn't go 100% wet)DigiverbBoss RV-3/5 What would you guys suggest I go with?

Members PatrickF Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 The RV-5 doesn't do 100% wet. Digiverb is basically what you stated, but I gotta say that the Ghost Echo looks like a WAY cooler pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gambit Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 100% wet sucks. look up the RV-2.. it's got an effect level instead of a mix knob, but has way more reverb than dry when cranked. also nails Sigur Ros stuff in Hall 2. youtube vid in my sig.

Members Mind_Riot89 Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 A really good and really budget reverb is the Behringer RV600. Nice Verbzilla clone for cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 I liked the RV-7 I had a lot. Very well made too, used can be a great deal. Even new, great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlueSteam Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 I have the RV-7. I'm happy with it for the most part... it is definitely built well and doesn't intefere with my tone when not in use and is very clean when in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TravvyBear Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 Behringer RV-600, very cheap, very good. No reverse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aplaneinphases Posted June 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 thanks for all the suggestions. I really liked the RV-7 but was doubtful of how "large and deep" it gets. Would you RV-7 owners say it suits those spacey, long verbs? I'll take a look at the Behringer, I've been hearing a lot about that reverb. @gambit - that vid sounds great actually. would you happen to know if there is a huge diff between the 2 and the 3?

Members TomCTC Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 If you want large and deep, get a Verbzilla and rock the cave setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members orangesix Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 i own the RV2/3/5, Digiverb, and RV-7. I'd go with the digiverb if i were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members comrade_jon Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 Many people like the harshness from some of Boss' reverb pedals - for me that's what makes the RV-3 (overpriced though it may be now I desperately want one). I have a Behringer DR600 (RV-5 clone) and it's ok... the Verbzilla clone RV600 is again, ok... but the Verbzilla is IMHO naff anyway. If I had the Vox with me all the time I'd never even have reverb, tis only cos I'm on the Champion in the bedroom and at certain gigs we use other people's amps. When you said budget reverb, I assumed you meant properly cheap, but you've mentioned some good names. If we're talking practicality, RV-5 and Digiverbs are your best, RV-5 better but whether the cost is worth it is up to you. Nice, different, spacey shizzle? Go down RV-3 lane m'boy.

Would you RV-7 owners say it suits those spacey, long verbs? I use the "Plate" setting most of the time for a longer/more forward effect. I wouldn't say I've ever attempted anything "spacey" though.

Members orangesix Posted June 8, 2010 Members Share Posted June 8, 2010 I've used the RV-5 for years, specifically for the Mod setting. It sounds digital sure, but most of the post-rock bands have utilize that sound. Most of the settings aren't very good. RV-3 is cool for ambient sounds. RV-2, is ok as well. RV-7 is great, but i still prefer the RV-5. It doesn't spring and gate better than the boss. Digiverb, IMO, is the best option out of these for "post-rock" "ambient".

Members aplaneinphases Posted June 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2010 hmm, thanks for all the replies guys. I guess I can narrow it down further now. I'm really leaning towards the Digiverb. Although I'll try to go and try out the RV-7 at the local store, last time they didn't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
