Members ShuGAZER Posted April 26, 2009 Members Share Posted April 26, 2009 I picked up this little gem a couple of days ago. I always like the E-H Holy Grail, but wished it didn't take up so much space on my board. Well, there's no excuse for not getting one now. I love it. It's basically the Holy Grail made smaller. Great small size, lush sound and works great with my other pedals. Perfect for the ambient dreampop I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Blakemore Effects Posted April 26, 2009 Members Share Posted April 26, 2009 Awesome. Looks great. Plan on making any clips of it for us? Also, that may be the first time I've seen two chorus pedals on a board before. What do you use them for that you need two of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PatrickF Posted April 26, 2009 Members Share Posted April 26, 2009 Three 'verbs ftw! I would probably get an older model because I like the look of it better, that's just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes different chorus pedals will compliment each other. Occasionally, I'll use the vibrato mode on the Mind Bender, but mostly chorus. I'll see if I can work on adding a sound clip later.

Members WBigsby Posted April 26, 2009 Members Share Posted April 26, 2009 Is it any different from a regular? Just a smaller box, it looks like. Does it use a goofy EHX plug, or are they doing us favors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AluminumFalcon Posted April 26, 2009 Members Share Posted April 26, 2009 Does it also have the volume drop the original holy grail had? Or did EHX fix that with the nano version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WBigsby Posted April 26, 2009 Members Share Posted April 26, 2009 I don't get any volume drop with it, that's why I LOVE it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm glad the Nano uses a standard power plug instead of those funky little phone-type plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted April 27, 2009 Members Share Posted April 27, 2009 they are definitely quality reverb pedals, a lot of good sounds in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ShuGAZER Posted April 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 27, 2009 How does it compare to the Rv-7? The RV-7 is a great reverb pedal. Aside from it being built like a tank, it's got great modulated and hall 'verbs and a killer reverse reverb, but you can't really kill the dry signal except in reverse mode. Not necessarily a bad thing depending on the kind of music you play, but with the Holy Grail, I can increase the wet signal without drop in volume to get that lush 'floating' guitar sound that's ideal for shoegaze/dreampop/ambient/post-rock. .
