Members Pointer Posted March 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 26, 2008 See this is what confuses me - in thread people always rate the RV-3, but then the pedalboard thread has even more Verbzilla. Then in the HC reviews the RV-2 is considered better than the RV-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Milkman Posted March 26, 2008 Members Share Posted March 26, 2008 I like the Line 6 Verbzilla a lot - especially more than anything Boss has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orangesix Posted March 26, 2008 Members Share Posted March 26, 2008 most people are gonna say RV3, i dont know which is more popular? maybe the Line 6 is a bit cheaper so more people have it on their boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnrambo Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 RV-5 is pretty awesome. the spring mode is my fave.havent tried the others. i thought the spring setting on the rv-5 was the worst setting. the modulate mode on that thing is the only setting that stands out in my mind.

Members int.parascope Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm getting the Verbzilla in a few days, can anyone convince me not too? I'm going for big Sigur Ros type verbs, I always have my amp verb going on for the subtle stuff so i'm not really looking for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Agreed Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 I just got a Marshall Reflector and I compared it against the Boss unit and the Holy Grail, it smoked them. Sounded much more realistic, not as bright and shimmery. But I've heard they have reliability issues so buyer beware I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faldoe Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 Yeah I've heard good things about the Marshall as well and also about it's reliability. You can save up and get a Nova reverb...I love mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had mine for a few months, it does the big verb sound pretty good. the only i don't like about it is when the trails are turned on and when you switch to a different verb it makes a little pop. other than that it sounds great.

Members echodeluxe Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 what did you buy? i looked at the accutronics website and took a look at what they had, but i dont know where i would start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnrambo Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 what did you buy? i looked at the accutronics website and took a look at what they had, but i dont know where i would start... i put a ruby reverb tank in my blues jr from mojo musical. the springs are set up a little different and the reverb is more spacious sounding. it seems to dwell longer and not be as pingy/metallic sounding.

Members echodeluxe Posted March 27, 2008 Members Share Posted March 27, 2008 rad, i will check it out. i gotta get that awful reverb out of my ac30. i used to like it, but since checking some reverbs out and getting my rv-5, its just a huge poop sitting in the back of my beuatiful amp.
