  • Solid all-around reverb offering from BOSS
Style: Pedal
I actually never owned or even tried out the BOSS RV-5, which was the predecessor to the RV-6, and a popular industry standard. But I had some interest in trying another compact reverb to use with my amps that don't have on-board reverb, and having an option in a BOSS enclosure is instantly appealing because they're so compact and durable. Seriously, BOSS gear may not have the "cool" factor of boutique gear, but that form factor is tried and tested, and you'll never hear anyone rip BOSS gear for being unreliable or flimsy. The BOSS RV-6 has 8 modes, so I'll go through each briefly and give my impressions. There are also 3 knobs for effect level, tone, and time. Compared to the RV-5, most of the same reverb styles are available - including the popular modulated reverb mode which helped give the RV-5 such lasting appeal - but they removed the gated reverb and added "Dynamic", "Shimmer", and "Reverb + Delay". My primary basis for comparison is my DigiTech Hardwire RV-7 Stereo Reverb, which incorporates Lexicon algorithms and is excellent. It is a bit bulkier and heavier than the RV-6, to the extent that matters to you. ---------- SPRING - This is a classic style of reverb found on many vintage amps (notably Fender, but many others), and while it's often associated with surf, it's broadly featured in countless subgenres within pop and rock. That being said, it isn't always easy to capture the metallic response of the spring as you hit strings more aggressively with a digital spring reverb, but I thoguht the RV-6 did a great job with it. PLATE - Another vintage style of reverb, particularly popular in the 60's and 70's and noted for its pairing with higher gain rock sounds. Features a moderate amount of decay with a brighter tone than spring. I've actually started to appreciate it more and more, and it's done well on the RV-6. HALL - Digital reverbs generally have no trouble simulating large hall reverberations, and the same applies to this pedal. Again, 5 of these modes were borrowed from the RV-5, but with some minor revisions/updating. ROOM - It's great that the RV-6 features room reverb because it's an excellent alternative to the washed out sounds you get from so many other digital reverbs. It features a very short decay that sounds more like you're playing in small-to-medium-sized room, as opposed to an effect applied afterwards. My Hardwire RV-7 excels at this, but I thought the RV-6 did a great job as well. MODULATE - This is the reverb mode perhaps most associated with BOSS reverb pedals, as it's somewhat unique from most vintage-inspired reverbs. It has a longer, dreamy decay with chorus-like modulation that swells and warbles subtly and extends the life of your notes and chords. It's really a beautiful effect, and a nice addition to the options found on this and other reverb pedals I've tried. DYNAMIC - The Dynamic reverb on the RV-6 was an interesting concept, but one that didn't gel with me. Perhaps it's something you need to continue to tweak and get used to. The idea is that the amount of reverb increases when you play fewer notes, but decreases when you play a bunch of notes in succession. I think the goal is to dial back reverb at times when it would cause your tone to wash out, but I felt like it made chords and certain notes jump out in an artificial way. SHIMMER - Shimmer is sort of the newer popular feature that so many reverb and delay pedals are scrambling to add (TC Electronic just added it to their Hall of Fame Reverb 2). It's difficult to describe, except that it sort of generates a polyphonic, harmonized accompaniment to your notes - almost like having a backing orchestra. + DELAY - This "reverb plus delay" mode is a cool feature that harkens back to the BOSS RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay pedal. I wasn't sure what to expect out of it because BOSS was a little vague in describing how it works, but it's actually a very straightforward reverb pedal that gives you control over the "feedback" (number of repeats) using the "TONE" knob, while the effect level increases the volume/intensity of the repeated notes. This is then layered on top of a reverb effect (which I believe is a "hall" reverb). The result is sort of an analog style delay, as the echoed notes themselves are subject to additional reverberation. I found it surprisingy easy to dial in, and quite convenient to be able to grab a single BOSS pedal, throw it in front of an amp or a mixer and have delay and reverb mixed in one pedal. Obviously, you'd get much greater depth throwing the delay pedal of your choice in front of the RV-6, and using the latter strictly for reverb. ---------- CONCLUSION: The BOSS RV-6 is just a solid unit considering that it retails for $150.00. It certainly has the depth of features and quality of reverb to be considered a professional piece of gear, but if you're a semi-pro or even just a novice player looking for a solid reverb pedal that will last you for a long time, it's hard to find any fault with the RV-6. Especially considering that super-cheaper reverb pedals of any quality are usually pretty bad, or still around $100, so the RV-6 might be worth a look for just a bit more money. I should also mention that the current draw on a 9V power supply is only 65mA, which (I think) is surprisingly low for a digital reverb pedal. They actually claim 5 hours of battery life, which may be just enough to bother with it. All in all, this is an excellent reverb pedal, and just like any other BOSS pedal, it's hard to imagine not having use for it 10, 20, or even 30 years down the road. ... show more

  • Multiple Reverbs and does incredibly well for nearly any Reverb effect need
Style: Pedal
Another incredible Boss pedal. The default settings out of the box are incredible and this thing has numerous other Reverb types for many different sounds. It really is one of those multi-function pedals that does multiple types of effects flawlessly. The dynamic mode is a bit of a weird one, not sure the best setup for that but it was easily the least of the modes, yet still fine. There is also a delay and chorus option that, while fine, are not nearly as full-featured as the legit Boss Chorus and Delay Pedals (specifically the Waza ones which are out of this world). However, these are free add ons and are really nice to have on here considering that the Reverb effects are so good. This could easily do the job of three pedals if you just want to use one effect at a time. 10/10 pedal. ... show more

  • Has all the verb you need
Style: Pedal
Has the shuttle reverb for just a little. All the way to dreamy ambient sound scapes with infinite repeats. Super easy to dial in the just right tone.

  • Superb Reverb pedal
Style: Pedal
Packaging was alright, came here in good condition. I love the sound presets of this pedal, had to adjust a bit as I've gotten use to an older reverb pedal that I was using. For me Boss is always the best in sound when it comes to guitar pedals

  • The Boss RV-6 is a gorgeous sounding reverb pedal!!!
Style: Pedal
I’m not a pro. I’m a living room player who once played in a punk/alternative garage band. So most of my adult life I’ve been playing an acoustic to get my music playing fix. I love playing and I’ve always loved the quality of electric music. And I’ve missed it. ‘Oh the sonic worlds to explore.’ Well, after years apart it was time to put together a rig and play. Did my research, picked up two good entry level guitars, one Les Paul with humbuckers another Srat-style baby with single coils and a solid 20 watt amp with tubes. I’m happy. Now it was time to really find my sound, I listened to countless reviews on youtube. What a vast world of pedals. Knowing my price range I narrowed it down to 4 pedals and finally chose this one due to its range and versatility…. Although, I was a little apprehensive because I wasn’t sure I’d be able to explore the soaring ambient sounds some of the boutique manufacturers create with their pedals. But I went for it anyway due to the Boss reputation etc… Well, I just received it today, plugged it in and Wow!!!! What a glorious sounding reverb pedal. It sounds amazing, resonate and spacious with wonderful trailing delays. The spring pops nicely and the shimmer sounds so much better then the corny sounding reviews I listened to on youtube. The Modulate, Plate, Delay and Dynamic settings have glorious worlds to explore when pushing up the level and time. The hall and room settings are spacious and haunting, just right. I can't say enough about this pedal, It's everything I wanted, far more expansive and expressive than a simple work horse. Don’t hesitate to buy it. It’s a marvelous pedal. ... show more

  • Versatile, excellent reverb
Style: Pedal
The Boss RV-6 packs a lot of versatility into a compact stomp box. The classics, room, hall, spring, and plate, are here . You also get delay and modulate, which combine two adjustable effects with a core reverb; you could get by without separate chorus and delay pedals. In addition, there are two very interesting reverbs, dynamic and shimmer, that add some very interesting options. All of this in Boss bullet proof case. The only small knock I have is that the Boss design means that the knob to select the type of reverb is a bit hard to read. However, after using it for a while you'll learn the location of each setting, thus shouldn't be a huge issue. I heartily recommend this reverb! ... show more
