Boss FRV 1 63 Fender Spring Reverb Pedal - Nevada Music UK

[weaselsuit]

I'm currently seeking one of these. Had a Premier tube spring reverb tank (was noisy crap), and the reverb on my Vox Ac-15 TB ain't too hot.

[sttyves]

try to put the reverb pedal first in the chain instead of at the end of it....right after your guitar ......you'll be impressed by the sound specially the attack and tone ...

[ColdSparrowProd]

this guy could make any pedal sound good. thats what i hate about these kind of videos.

[krzychumasej]

2:43 like a Pipeline

[CacheSeaker]

I wonder if he listens to albert king

[ganjaking187]

is it true bypass?

[JohnKurtJim]

@ganjaking187 no, none of boss pedals are made with true bypass. but, whatever, this stompbox is great

[davidbassplanc]

does this pedal have that splash if i kick the shit out of it? probably not right?

[tjenkins83]

Good thing he's not reading from cue cards. *rolls eyes* Nice pedal though. I may have to pick up one.

[gdrugg2006]

God, that blues backing track sucks.

[66Showman1]

A cool pedal- not bad any way for the price. I'd like to see a hand-wired reissue of the reverb box with the correct tube compliment.

[transcan321]

Y'CAN'T DENY IT THIS GUY IS ONE COOL PLAYER - NICE, JUST NICE.

[bitchboysi]

For the surf- i stil can't hear the "BOOCH BOOCH" sounds..?

[Fendervana]

lol was that supposed to be Pipeline at 2:48-3:14?

[mewsic156]

what is the difference between the spring reverb and the regular reverb?

[Thorbie]

@mewsic156 Spring reverb has a splashy springy sound to it, mostly associated with surf music. 2:32 is a good example of the spring reverb sound, but try searching for videos featuring Movin' by The Astronauts as an example of the spring reverb sound.

[jizezcch]

legendary?...

[mkds1109]

god steve is such a freakin BEAST on guitar!!! 'nuff said.

[Mynameisnotgregory]

what a strange adaptation of "pipeline..."

[psykoelvis]

Steve Trovato is just the BEST !!!!

[1979jppc]

FRV 1 it's just the reverb sound effect or the whole amp sound simulation?

I think the FRD 1 pedal simulates completely the amp sound, but not sure.

I'd like to have just the reverb effect for a fender pro junior which not have reverb at all

which one I should get? thanx

[jks2]

@1979jppc check out the Danelectro sprin king. i't is a reverb unit with a real spring! cost's about 100 dollars. there are a few demo video's on youtube check em' out if you want to

[drcanehdian]

@1979jppc it wasn't an amp to begin with, just a reverb unit - so there are no 'amp' sounds as such

[oreodontist]

I stopped listening once they showed more than one pedal.  what's what?

[idwtsasoj]

certinately more reliable than his opinions

[idwtsasoj]

this guy is a great player, but he does NOT know his blues

[jensenbell]

@idwtsasoj - Travato is a highly paid sought after session guy for country, rockabilly... that stuff. But his blues in this video NAILS "Crosscut Saw" by Albert King...with a bit of "Frosty" by Albert Collins. Search Youtube for "saw"... I think you'll see he got it right.

[jspartacus]

@idwtsasoj Doesn't know his surf either...

[southamericanrocker]

Well you can throw this guy an empty tuna can and he will make it sound like heaven!!!! (great player)

Wich says very little about this "Scam Pedals".... ;-)

[hateofgod666]

this is what i call "eargasm" O.O

[alexmur3006]

Am I the only one to find that his telecaster sounds really dull and flat? BTW, I'm using good quality speakers...

[elvis8burgers]

If you knew anything about guitars you'll see Trevado is playing a Suhr Tele and then a G&L Legacy - both are quality guitars, the Suhr in particular is probably twice the guitar a Fender is.

[kensho3]

@elvis8burgers I can imagine you're right. I have a PRS Cstm 22 and its playability blows away any fender I've ever seen. I haven't played custom shop fenders but off the rack just don't match up.

[andrewkadar]

another irony is that he isnt using fender guitars but look alikes

[doodlin17]

man i want a reverb pedal to go with my fuzz.

[eugenecraddock]

this guy didn't play surf music. The Best reverb is included in the Fender amps like my blues deville. If you need a tremolo buy a Danelectro pedal cheap price and good sound.

[jxd549]

the irony is that you still need an amp to use this pedal

[HalfBillion]

actually that would be a coincidence

[edu1828]

jaja i dont know ..fun

[godzilla964]

That's not a telecaster, but is sounds like one.

[asianlydian]

@godzilla964 Then what is it haha

[CopelloG1]

what kind of bridge its on the red strato? a khaler?

[Fenderfan171]

i like how its a "fender certified" pedal but they couldn't use a real fender telecaster in the video

[AndrewAllen2k8]

yeah I know whats the point of making a fender certified video if they dont use a fender guitar...

[opivy87]

@Fenderfan171 they couldnt afford one.. haha!

[oklahomainpain]

@Fenderfan171 hahahah yea thats funny

[UltimateGuitarist17]

@Fenderfan171 may they are simply trying to point out tone is not all entirely in the guitar. Look at me Im playing suhr but still get fender twang

[Niteblub]

@Fenderfan171 Cus Suhr pwns fender

[ali5it]

@Fenderfan171 : You are correct, but I'll take a Suhr over a Fender anytime.... :)

[ahmadaz96001]

@Fenderfan171 it's bcoz current made fender guitars sux. suhr is the way to go. they're make better telecaster than fender

[mlweidl]

@Fenderfan171 i would take a suhr over any modern tele

[hotlanta71]

@Fenderfan171 its better than a real Tele its a suhr, but I'd rather play a Fender.

[JustusFriedolin]

@Fenderfan171 why would they have to? suhr are top notch guitars

[TheStratplayer1]

@Fenderfan171 Actually its a Boss pedal and- it is a better demo with Suhr guitars rather than Fender Strats and Teles. . It gives a better idea of how the pedal actually performs. The pedals are great as they actually get the classic "Fender" tone and fender sound out of non - Fender guitars. I am a blues player and I love the classic blues tone and sustain this pedal gets on the Suhr... It will be way better on my Strat

[RaygunShaun]

@TheStratplayer1 It's a "Fender-certified" Boss pedal.

[Trilobite8jesus]

@Fenderfan171

Need we forget, Jimi burned his Fenders and not his Gibsons.

[Trilobite8jesus]

@Fenderfan171

It is a Suhr guitar. Much better builds than some cheap piece of wood with a fender logo. Stop buying brand names, Americans. Come on, even Jimi Hendrix burned his fender.

[psour33]

@Fenderfan171 I'can't read what it's written on the neck but the shape looks like a G&L Leo Fender Telecaster designed so if it I don't mistake, this guitar is perhaps more Fender than a "today" Fender ^^ .

[giggs102]

@Fenderfan171 because suhrs are WAY better.

[tommc49]

Nice pedal, I think..... when more than one pedal is combined in a demo, it's hard to tell exactly which you are hearing.. IMHO, pedal demos should be made by playing one pedal into a clean amp so you can judge the sound of the single pedal. It would be OK to combine with other pedals as part of the demo, but it should always be made clear what you are listening to. Just my two cents. Great playing on this demo in any case.

[onig64]

I fully agree with you Tomm. We cannot appreciate the full features of the single pedal.

Give another try!

[slashnpraise]

it's quite easy to tell the difference. the frv-1 is a reverb pedal so just listen to the difference in the reverb. the frv-1 does not interact or alter the tone of your guitar's sound or character. so don't listen to the equalization of the guitar or the over-drive reference of it.

[GASMan1957]

^^ Yeah, I had to send back my FDR pedal. It was horrible for those drip/splash/sproings. They were random and crashing into my notes. It was like it came with its own drunk kicking your reverb tank. Anything above 1/4 level was unusable and therefore ineffective. I liked the tone okay and the trem was quite good, but on my unit at least, the reverb was a disaster. I hope they got it right on this model. I'd buy it right out, but I'm scared after my last Boss spring reverb experience.

[psykoelvis]

Steve Trovato is such a great guy and an amazing guitarist, very humble and such a guitar God! He can switch from blues to rock and roll to rockabilly and country in less than a second !! By the way the pedal is great !!

[Xguitarist17]

i think it sounds awesome :)

[surrealevolution]

hmm yeh i agree it didnt quiet have the same sound, plus how am i supposed to kick the reverb tank anymore lol

[okearthling]

The surf setting didn't have enough drip

[Thumbshifter]

The FDR pedal has lots of drip - only nobody seems to like that aspect of them... I'm still going to check it out as I've not found a rugged pedal to stick into my reverb-less valve amps
