Boss RV-5 VS Hardwire RV7 reverb pedal shootout

[Swyrl]

Thanks for the vid! It's actually the two only modes I use on my RV-5. I thought about replacing it with something more suitable for bass, because it's just too bright, and you cannot really roll off the hi's on early reflections with the tone knob (just on the reverb tail). It pulls out all the metal from the strings and brings to the front even with the darkest settings. RV-7's Hall is great, really. But, alas, it has nothing comparable with RV-5's Modulate mode. This video clearly shows that.

so the rv7 is definatly more subtle right? every video i've seen of it in the mod. mode it's more basic and subtle sounding that the rv-5 rather than being rediculously lush.

@youknowyourrite1 The RV5 is nice and lush. The difference in the mod modes between the two is that the rv7 sounds as if it is flanging rather than chorusing-lushness aside.

@scorpguitar79 oh i know the rv-5 is lush like a symphony on the mod. mode. the rv7 to me, doesn't seem nearly as lush(or at least in the videos i've seen) but i want the lushness. i guess i'll give the rv7 a go for the hell of it the next time i get a chance and see for myself.

Excellent video, you should now compare Boss RV-5's modulated mode vs Line 6 Verbzilla's Cave Mode

@mewsic156 I would love to-care to send me a verbzilla?

[Quoutub]

@mewsic156 The octo mode of the verbzilla is good, but I don't need it, so I got the RV5.

One of the reasons I got the RV-7 was because the reverse reverb bleeds into the gated reverb.
