Boss RV-5 / TC Hall of Fame Comparison [Modulate / Church Mode]

I used one chord for the swells just for a basis to keep the sound the same and simple then a little 5 chord progression towards the end.

I actually just got it yesterday...now i do need some more time to mess with it but the little bit i did i will say it sounds similar to the RV-5 but it still had a bit of warble i didn't like in it. i will mess around with it some more

[mynameistin]

i really love the long decay the hall of fame has on church but the boss rv-5 and its modulate one so far seems to be a one of a kind. overall diversity the hall of fame wins. just for ambient content uhh man i dont know :) preference really...

I think the comparison is awesome. Sometimes the simplicity of playing is needed to hear the real difference in the pedals.

Got a TC HoF 4 days ago. It lasted about 3 minutes before turning itself on/off; SO DID THE REPLACEMENT! TC Support suggested a higher quality 9v or to purchase their adapter. Spend more money on a product that doesn't work? YEAH, RIGHT!

I had my wife grab a Boss RV-5 on her way home last night and I used TC's provided 9v in it for over 30 minutes.

The RV-5 sounds just as good, despite fewer settings. I have a few Boss products and have NEVER had problems with ANY of them! BOSS FTW!

That click from the hall of fame ppisses me off.

Which one sounds less digital to you? Also, did you do a Hardwire v. Hall of Fame demo?

[gunjabeans]

If you showed more of the different patches like Plate, Spring, Hall, and less of the 50%, 100%, etc. it would be better for me.

This is all very beautiful, but almost completely useless for the first 4 minutes if you want to compare two reverb pedals. IMHO fade sounds are by no means suitable for testing reverb pedals, but they mayy be great for chorus sounds and stuff like that. Anyway, if you hear no pick attack, you can't judge the reverb trail properly and this is what it's all about.

Oh well...tc is the winner... glad i bought that one XD

[lalapat]

i bought the tc too. i was thinking about to get boss or tc hall of fame. i think the same. kinda dont like the warble . what do you think wich one is better

[hallobaaaby]

@mynameistin Nice comparisson! TC is very versatile on the church mode derived tone prints, especially now when i can put them in the pedal by simply putting my ipod close to the pickup!

@mynameistin i think if you'd play some more notes or some chords string by string would make it better to hear what quality the hall is.
