User Review for - Boss RV5 Digital Reverb

Essential!/Not Just for Surf Bands

I've been looking at other people's guitar effect pedalboards, and I have to say I'm amazed how few of them bother with a stand-alone reverb pedal. The reverb on most amps is barely adequate to deliver a generic 'hall' verb, much less the tighter 'room' echo that I prefer. I got the Boss Reverb back in its RV-2 iteration twenty some years ago, and I still love it. You don't quite get hard slapback echo - you might need a delay for that - but you can get a nice 'drop shadow' bit of echo to make a guitar sound fuller. The 'hall' sound is also nice and thick. True, it does have a sort of metallic sheen to it (especially short, tight 'verbs), but you can adjust that if you like. Besides, most echoes are fake in some way or other - so what if it doesn't sound like you're in a real church, or cave, or whatever? Go buy a tube reverb for a lot more money if you need it slicker. Or record in a big metal silo - but don't be suprised if it sounds quite a bit like this pedal...

Great Digital Reverb

I realy enjoy this pedal. It adds realistic sense of size and dimension to my sound. The pedal has 5 different reverbs plus one modulation effect that is nice but I mainly use the reverb function to thicken up harmonies and leads. I use Boss effects allmost exclusively because they build thier equipment to industrial strength and don't cheap out on sound or component quality. I highly recomend this pedal to any guitar player.
