Favorite reverb pedals?

Nova Reverb is the utimate.[it's for sale for $180] Boss RV-5 is good, the EH Holy Grail + is real nice

[Tibbonds]

To be honest, I've liked every reverb I've had. Digiverb was great for big long verbs, Marshall Reflector was better still and more versatile, and the EHX Holiest Grail really was.... the holiest grail. It's really hard to beat, especially being that it has the potential for crazy sounds and 8 user presets too - 2 presets per bank, arranged into 4 banks. Only problem with the EHX is it's almost TOO tweakable - it's actually quite difficult to get a good sound out of until you really learn how it works.

I think it's better than the holy grail but far more expensive. It has the best looks, that's for sure....

Is the pedal noisy?

[BoyWearingVans]

the Holy Grail Plus is not hissy.

The original had a reputation for being hit and miss, but I think they have addressed whatever issues they were having.

Dano Spring King - the only decent cheap reverb pedal for surf.

No, not at all. Another cool thing is you can use it for a huge volume boost if you want to. The 'mixer' section has 3 sliders to control the levels - one for dry, one for reverb, and one for 'spring' (which is really a more trebbly voiced mix of the other 2).

Unity on the dry slider is about 50%, so you can imagine how much pure dry signal boost is available even before you start mixing in the reverb sliders.

You can set it any way you like, so you can even do 100% wet with a volume boost if you need it.

Oh yeah, another thing is the decay time goes to infinity. Literally. You can have an endless reverb if you want it. This thing gets HUUUUUUUGE!

I tried one out and liked it as well, but I really don't think it's true bypass...

Does it pass signal through when there is no battery/power supply?

Does it cut the reverb trail off as soon as it is disengaged?

I'm pretty sure it's buffered.

[Tibbonds]

I think it is actually true bypass, but it's done with relays rather than a mechanical switch. Meaning it won't pass a signal without power, but it is really genuinely true bypass.

Of course there is also a switch inside to change between buffered mode and true bypass mode, so you may have played it in buffered mode if you were getting trails when you turn it off.

I'm looking to get the new Malekko spring chicken (anyone got one yet?).
I have heard some good things about the EH Holy Grail.

REALLY?? I have a holy grail and I think the spring sounds great but I use the "hall" setting alot for ambient stuff and it is a noisy pedal but for me the thing i hate is it overpowers the tone of my dmm to the point where there is no point in having a nice analog delay, i might as well just use my dd7 and sell my dmm. also, it hates being anywhere but at the end of the chain cause i have a fp777 and when i hook it up for stereo phasing all of my pedals work fine having it at the end of the chain, but my holy grail hates it. so all that being said i was looking into the hardwire reverb pretty seriously. does anyone else think the hardwire is the way to go?

Tech 21 Boost RVB. Versatile, tweakable, and the boost function is excellent. Great for solos or making some verbed guitar jump out in a mix Chris Isaak style.

Really? Where?

[puddinstone]

I love my Nova Reverb. The verbzilla isn't bad either.

[mcdonaldkd]

I know it gets knocked a lot in these forums, but the Hardwire RV-7 is a very good pedal, in my view. TB, dead quiet, loads of sounds, and built like a tank. Very gig worthy. In fact, I have not found a bad Hardwire pedal yet - chorus, delay, etc.
