Boss RV-500 Reverb

[guitarmaster]

I purchased this pedal a little while ago and put it on my secondary board. Whilst my main board has a big sky I have to say I am quite a fan of the RV. I really like how much easier the display is to use and understand. I also really like how it only requires 225mA to run so I can plug it right into my voodoo labs with the rest of my board instead of needing a whole separate power supply to power the 500mA big sky. After fooling around with it for a while you can make sounds that sound just as good as the big sky. I am tired of people bashing products just because they are from different companies. It's the musician who is in charge of their gear and how their tone sounds in the end. I'm also not saying that one is better than the other. I am saying that there are pedals on the market now that are just as good but not as expensive. In the end it always comes down to personal preference, so I'd highly recommend going out and trying each pedal for yourself and choose the one that feels right for you.

Hidden in that reverb trail is the sound of Strymon pooping their breeches.

I really like that shimmer without the octave.

How many people have to say that BOSS is good before people start believing it?
I do want to hear a comparison between this and the big sky.
I'm already sold on the Boss I just like watching videos

The routing’s what sold me - I run I/O A at the start of my rig and I/O B at the end, so Bank A’s full of reverbs and delays that run before fuzzes for shoegaze and Bank B’s for Long atmospheric stuff that everything runs into

I have always wondered how Andy gets so much attack and brightness when strumming without using a guess he is magic

one of the best reviews out there.. better recorded and not tweaked to 12 as in "soggy wet": I love this pedal!

[TM-xjsf]

Always love "Boincy" reverb 😉

[raffitchakmakjian]

man, that lick in the intro, so sweet. What a nice chord progression! EDIT: and just learned it. Thank goodness for 0.5 video playback speed.

can't I loveeee the rv6. psyched for md500 demo too!!! please include classic electric mistress and small stone/phase 90 samples lol =)

[ptrisonic]

Good demo! I still dislike “Shimmer” - but I like this pedals sounds a lot - very usable! Pete.

I love the 500 line. While I stand strong in my opinion that the Eventide Space is the best pedal reverb, the DD-500 is an excellent contender for best big-box delay, and I don't think an argument can be made that the MD-500 is superseded by the Möbius or Modfactor.

Hey Andy ! I´m just dying of your playing. Incredible really. You make me want to buy all of these pedals, like it should make me a better guitarist :D

[iancosgrove]

The space echo sounds particularly lush

[wthird]

Demo the RV-500 with MD-500 and DD-500 all together

[koolbreeze]

I A-B Test The Boss 500 Series against a Fractal FX8 the 500 series is 1 whole step above the Fractal The Boss 500 SPring Reverb was a little harder to set. When I did compare it to my Blackface Super Reverb It did come through in Spades when I did

[MagicPants]

Andy! Can you pleasseee start posting the song names that you play in these demos! :)

So I'm looking at using this as my only reverb and delay an I'm really curious about the delay options. What kinds of delay are available and what subdivisions are there? Also if I use the dual reverb could I put a delay with each one and have two running at the same time?

[goldstandardmassagetherapy]

i have a bunch of pedals to trade towards this RV-500 or MD-500 !!

boss ps-2, fulltone gt-500, EQD Space Spirals, Ibanez CS5, Mr. Black Deluxe Plus

I think we are all over the shimmer reverb! It was cool when it came out... now its been beat to death by every pedal company out there. Yes... I'm anti-shimmer!
