Stereo Reverb Sounds From Boss!

The RV-5 offers six of BOSS's best reverbs ever in stereo. This makes it possible to connect after other pedals that feature stereo outputs. New reverbs include convincing spring reverb emulation and a high-quality gate reverb. More spacious reverb sounds can be had using the newly developed Modulate mode. And thanks to its dual inputs, the RV-5 even works for keyboard players.

Another Winner from BOSS!

Music Background: the past
I don't usually write ratings for any equipment less than 4 or 5 stars.It's just not worth my time to mess 'round with sub-par equipment. For this reason, I've always LOVED BOSS PEDALS! Superb sound, ... read more [+]this one in particular sounds like it costs mucho more than it does.

Incredible & hard to believe Reverb pedal from Boss.

Music Background: I have been playing for the last 27 years, Am a chemical engineer and a Hobbyist guitarist.
I purchased it last year. I did not have a plan to buy it and rather it was all my sheer luck that I got this incredible sounding stuff. It all happened in a way that I had something to exchange in th... read more [+]e music store and luckly I saw this pedal in the showcase. So I decided to exchange my disapproved item with Boss digital reverb pedal. I found it just an amazing sounding beast and you better have to believe it. The reverb sounds produced by it are so interesting, natural and full bodied that I at once fell in love with it. All the five reverb settings are very useful and have immense depth/richness and beautiful decaying sustain property. The reverb sound is very neat and I have not noticed any back ground noise at all furthermore the control knobs proportionaly works extremely well. After using this reverb unit I have simply ignored using my amplifiers reverb as they seems toyish as far as sound quality is concerned as compared with Boss digital reverb. One can very easily shape any reverb sound from it by using few and simple knobs adjustments. It is true that now I have stopped fearing to jump on stage as I did while using my amp spring reverb which sound horrible and now feel more confident after adopting this beauty. The overall quality and ease of use is remarkable for this unit. The modulate reverb setting is just like something out of this world so pleasant to listen while playing slow phrases. No doubt that its price is quite high but once you hear it you will spontenously say Oh I do not care how much I paid for it. Boss products are extremely reliable from this fact that I have been using Boss pedals since 1983 and they never turned me down, rather I must add that they are build for life time. Thanks & regards. close [-]

Favorite Pedal

Music Background: Student / Hobbyist
I tried several reverbs out before choosing this one. Many of the others sounded just as good as this one and in a few cases a little better. What makes this pedal stand out and better than the others... read more [+] is the fact that you can choose between 6 different types of reverb and they all sound great. They are all useable and high quality. This is a great pedal. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Chris McCown
For all the sounds available in the RV-5, you'd think you were playing through something a lot more expensive, and a lot bigger than a stompbox. From subtle ambience through complete and total washout, you can achieve it with this pedal. I have owned amp heads that did not have a reverb circuit in which I used the RV-5, as well as using it INSTEAD of the reverb circuit on amps that had it.
