The rv 5 is strictly a reverb pedal.
Boss rv 2 vs rv 3.
And rv 3 can double as a dd 3 type delay.
Plate is ok but its not the blue sky not the rv 3 either and delay is ok but the rv 3 delay and verb is the cats meow.
Both are good sounding pedals however with the rv 3 you are rather limited in fine tuning the effects.
This isn t a rackable piece of gear as it is a stomp box.
Its just a bit too digital sounding.
It offers four different high density reverb modes plus three delay modes offering delay times up to 2 000ms.
Thanks for the replies.
The rv 3 is a combination reverb and delay pedal.
The rv 3 is a popular professional quality pedal that can produce reverb delay or both.
The pedal has a 1 4 inch input and two 1 4 inch outputs.
There is a new pedal out now made by digi tech the rv 7.
Combination digital reverb and delay pedal with studio quality sound.
No control over the number of repeats but its really grainy and squishy.
Offers 4 reverb modes and 3 delay modes with delay time up to 2 000ms.
It has the standard size and make up that most boss pedals do with a nine volt battery compartment and power supply jack.
Since that reverb shootout thread i ve sold the rv 2 and am kind of regrettting it.
And the rv 3 has even longer delay times than a dd 3.
Just no hold but stereo out.
And with the tone knob pseudo analog.
You have more reverb adjustments with the rv 5 but at the sacrifice of the delay function.
The rv 3 seems to be the one for me.
What could be better for me.
The boss rv 2 is a digital reverb effects pedal and i believe it was the first reverb pedal made by boss.
The delay is nicer on the rv 2 aswell.
