E Z REVERB

I wanted something to run in effect loop of a Mesa Dual Rec,all the rack stuff i tried were hard to dial in and then they colored the sound of the amp over all,then of course you would have to carry the rack case now.So i tried the HardWire RV 7.BOOM done,i swear as soon as it was cabled up,took the amp off bypass and tweeked the level for a second i was in effect heaven,now it sits on top of the amp i switch it on and off with the mesa pedal and if i need a different patch i just switch the select controll in between songs.The pedal loads into the amp case and im done.FOR THE MONEY YOU CAN'T BEAT IT.ENJOY MY FRIENDS.

Brilliant Digital Reverb Pedal

I am partial to analog effects, but this digital reverb pedal from Hardwire is fantastic. It is simple to use, extremely quiet when switching (it is true bypass) and doesn't alter the tone of my guitars. I am particularly impressed with the plate, room, hall and spring settings since they compliment my style of playing. The extra headroom is appreciated and usually only available in very high-end pedals. I am extremely pleased with the RV-7!

This is a good reverb

I just picked up this pedal and I have to say it a very good sounding reverb pedal. It may not have as many bells and whistles as say the EHX Cathedral but has a great amount of sweet reverb sounds when you learn to dial it in. Sure it may eat batteries but many effects do. The manual even states that for long duration use to use a dedicated external power adapter. all I can say is that I am very happy with my RV-7!

Adequate for a digital / NOT True Bypass!

Has a couple of adequate sounding reverb settings and one real gimmicky "reverse" delay? Sucks a nine volt battery dry in just a couple of hours! of course my Boss digital eats up batteries, pretty quick , too; but, it also has some fantastic, lush, at least for digital, reverbs! The RV-7 is NOT true bypass! It's buffered and colors your tone (not a lot, but it colors your tone) and when the battery runs dry, the so-called "true bypass" doesn't work, it just clips and chirps in a horribly ugly fashion.

My Sales Engineer has always been great. I trust his input. He's been invaluable as a consultant and a big part of why I've worked with Sweetwater for so long. I've recommended scores of people to Sweetwater because of his service.
