Members ChrisFFTA Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hi My Holy Grail has passed on and I am looking at a new/used option to replace it. Something with standard decent sounding Fender amp like (spring) reverbs but also the ability to go big and wet... What are the RV2, 3, 5s like? I can get them cheap 2nd hand... other options include new Verbzilla or Digiverb but I am keen to hear peoples opinion son the Boss stuff Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bvester Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 2's take up a lot of power and, I hear, are noisy5's are not better than the 3's3's are badass and sweet sounding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cloudscapes Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 I'd avoid the 5it's kind of sterile compared to the other twpit suffers from poor A/D/A conversion tooI know it's not the answer you were lookign for but I'd look at something other than Boss for reverb.I'm fond of both the Digitech Digiverb and the Tech 21 reverb, both cheaper and far nicer than the RV-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MathiasWilliam Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 I love my RV-3, but as alot of people say its not natural reverb sounding and its quite artificial sounding, but thats what i love about it, i use it as an "effect" pedal not a dynamic adding effect as most people use Reverb for. maybe try them out?

Members Richard Guy Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 Try a Boss DM-2 or 3. After all, reverb is delay with a splash. Adjust to taste. My ears like them better than digital delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mistersully Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 i tried an rv5 along with a marshall reflector... i bought the marshall... it left the boss for dead imo... the rv5 had no warmth to it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BTBAM Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 I love my rv-5. But only for crazy reverbs... for anything legit...I have to ditch the pedal and use the fender onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 My RV-5 never leaves the modulation mode. I've got an RV-2 that I usually use on keys because I don't care for it on my main board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willburford Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 RV-3 is fantastic for med-long reverbs IMO, but not so great for short verbs. I don't think it's very artificial sounding... Sounds fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members willburford Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 i imagine everything sounds wondermous with your tin ears Ouch. You didn't like it? Sometimes it has this weird clanging thing going on, but it doesn't bother me that much.. only when I stop playing and it rings and does the clang deal. And it only does that sometimes. For everything it does, and seeing as I got it for $75, I'm very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mcinku Posted November 12, 2007 Members Share Posted November 12, 2007 I have RV5 and in general I would say it's an OK pedal, not awesome but not bad as well. Long verbs are good, especially the modulation like murch33 said. Spring is (but I'm spoiled, I own DRRI and a pedal can't beat that), room reverb is just hall with shorter times, again ...it doesn't suck your tone badly and the noise level is reasonable.
