Boss RV3? RV5? Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail?

Which one do you use?

There are so many pedals available nowadays. The ones I see most often are:

TC Electronic Hall of Fame (and Hall Of Fame mini)
Neunaber Wet reverb
Dr. Scientist Reverberator
Strymon Big Sky or Blue Sky
Strymon Flint
Wampler Faux Spring Reverb

There are many many more...

Personally, I think the WET reverb is the best sounding, but I haven't tried the Strymons.

I have, sold the Wet reverb, very nice by the way but for me the Blue Sky was more adjustable so to speak. I only tried the mono Neunaber to be fair and right after I got rid of it, Neunaber sent a tech email saying they have a delay patch with reverb to fit their stereo pedal which can be connected to and download settings. Never ends....

Never ends. So true. My current go to reverb pedal is the Digitech Polara.

Possibilities are endless with the TC HOF (I use the mini) with the ability to adjust any parameter
you can think of using the Toneprint editor.
......and it's tiny!

I'd suggest the Digitech RP155, yes, it's a multi effects pedal, but it will probably give you anything that you want. It has a couple of Lexicon reverbs, plate, and a fender twin type. Also the ability to adjust all the parameters of each one. And also has about five types of delay. And lots more. Less than 100.00.

Holy Grail Nano......

I pulled my TC Electronics M300 effects rack unit out of my Walker Stereo Steel rack and use the Holy Grail as my only effects.

I have built two lite weight amps and since I'm not a builder but a module component organizer, I use the HG Nano exclusively incorporated into those amps.

Very Happy

Chuck

All the pedals mentioned above are nice. I favor the TC Hall of Fame and have several. Also, if you get the Boss 3 Pedal Case around $50.00 they fit nicely into the cavities. I have a HOF reverb, Flashback delay, and Carona chorus with a power supply mounted in the case. The case also comes with the hook up wire. Pretty neat. I'll post a pic later.

You can also use the tone print function to download a wide variety of artist demos.

I have the same 3 TC pedals as Len. I also have a mono Wet reverb that is also a great reverb pedal.

Jay, my wife has the (Hall Of Fame) HOF Mini also. I finally got around to connecting the laptop to it and using the Toneprint software to re-program it. Wow, that's insanely flexible to be able to tweak every parameter like that, OR to download some rockstars' favorite settings. Lots of fun for this knob turner...

I prefer my Fender stand alone reverb. Been modded to the original specs. Sounds great!

Mike, I have a Digitech Hardwire RV-7 with the internal Lexicon reverbs (which is a good pedal); but, the Neunaber Wet Reverb Stereo beats the Hardwire hands down! I don't think I have heard any reverb pedal that comes close to the Wet, with the possible exception of some of the Strymon units...but, you could buy two or three Wet pedals with what you would probably pay for one Strymon unit!! If money was no object, I would probably try a Strymon, but I am totally happy with the Wet Reverb. Hope this helps in some way! Roger Smile

I have had the RV-3, Behringer DR-400 (RV3 copy), and Lexicon MPX 1. I have not tried the other pedals mentioned, but for my taste, the mono Wet Reverb is the best I have ever had. My search for the right pedal for me was over when I got the Wet Reverb.

I've tried to not like it. I even bought a hall of fame mini and came back to it. Once I got the reverbs and delays on the Zoom MS-70CDR set like I wanted, I can't not use it. I dunno, just got it "dialed in". I've got a spring, hall and tape delay and digital delay setting that I find very useful and can switch between them with one click. (I did have to run it on a voodoo labs power supply instead of the One Spot 9v supply though. It had a digital whine with the latter.)

Second vote for the Strymon 'Blue Sky', well worth the price!

Here is a Boss three pedal case that comes with the hook up wire/jacks and the TC pedals fit nicely into the case. I do put a small piece of Velcro on the bottom of the front of the pedal and a small piece of Gorilla tape at the back so if you drop the case when open they won't fall out.

Also note that I zip tied the Power supply in the case so all you have to do is press on an extension chord and good to go. When you put the cover back on, your dials will not move. With the Toneprint function I have selected some very nice settings and able to switch to another preset for a different choice without disturbing the Toneprint. Pretty cool unit in a small package,

I searched for a few years & went thru many many reverb pedals.
I was after the reverb sound you hear in a Fender Twin Reverb amp -
that is my all time favorite reverb sound.

After trying at least 30+ reverb pedals & AB'ing them
directly with a Fender Twin Reverb amp the only pedal
to my ears that nails that exact sound is the
Hardwire Supernatural Reverb pedal.
It is the one for me.

As we all know, everyone hears thing different but this
is the one that pleases my ears the most.
