  • I love that you say I won't go into this and yet after listening to you, I have discovered more in nine minutes than I have understood in two years of playing with my RV500. Thank you .

  • Excellent review. I'm a big fan of the reverb and delays on the Magicstomp. Can the RV500 do similar? Thanks

  • Good gracious, I hate shimmer more and more. Too harsh sounding, too much going on.

  • Subbed, liked, and will be going through your Ambient Tutorials just as soon as I snag this pedal (and the Delay and Modulation pedals as well).

    In the market, was looking at Strymon, but this pedal has Storm, and that suits me fine.

  • Technically, you can get 3 patches per bank by using the pedal in ABC mode giving you 297 total presets 🙂

  • Good morning.
    Having decided to pursue a renewed performing career in ambient guitar music (as normal retirement approaches), I would appreciate your advice and opinions. After watching many videos on YouTube I think that I have settled on the following equipment:
    Boss RV500,
    Boss DD 500,
    Volume pedal.
    As I'm on a limited budget, would you recommend that I start with the RV 500, and which volume pedal is the best value/performance balance.
    Thanks in advance for your time and patience.

  • Im a great fan of BOSS …i currently play thru a GT100… but this Reverb engine sounds way outdated IMO
    Ventris is the way to go so far !!!!!!

  • You get amazing tones! I am having trouble getting my patches to sound as good as yours. Any chance you can share some settings you like?

  • I don’t need another reverb, I don’t need another reverb, I don’t need another reverb…

    I need this reverb. ????

  • Recently got one of these, learning how to create some patches. was toying with getting the H9 but this is pretty cool allowing delay on all reverbs and being able to stack them is a plus. love the swell mode. trying to get a blooming reverb with this any tips on that?

  • I thought I was set with my Walrus Audio descent (and it IS beautiful, no doubt about it), but there are SO MANY OPTIONS HERE! Absolutely going to get an RV-500

  • Why do act as though all these features are groundbreaking and new? It’s a Strymon ripoff all the way. Sounds are okay, but nowhere near the hall of fame 2!

  • What I would give to have a bearded ambient guitar god playing reverberate tones, in a tiny hazy oval, at the bottom right of my field of vision at all times throughout my day. I feel life would be somewhat more bareable.

  • I bought many pedals like yours because you inspired me, Bill! This is going to be the fifth pedals! 😉

  • Hey,
    I've just found your videos from looking up the Mooer Ocean machine. I don't have a limitless budget, but I don't mind spending a bit.
    If you had to pick between this and the OM, what would you go for?
    Thanks.

    Reply
  • Wow. Super beautiful. Thank you for the insight. Could you post a video comparing the BigSky Cloud and the RV-500 equivalent?

    Reply
  • Moonlight and Para Para patches sounded intriguing. Shimmer has a different tonal voice than Strymons to my ears; not necessarily better or worse (but much more usable than the DD-500 shimmer!).

    Reply
  • Beautiful playing as always Bill. A really nice pedal (like I need another reverb pedal). I hope you team this up with the DD500 on a future clip. All the best – Cheers

  • A question, I was wondering if you ever used multi-effect devices for creating ambient music (in my case a "Zoom G1Xon" a basic muti-effect pedal with capability of changing 5 effects at the time)?
    And if you think unsing a multi-effect device is not a good idea or you haven't experiment with it, what reverbe and delay devices would you recommend which is budget friendly and also easy to use?
    Thank you.

  • Man! I love your videos! and the fact that you try to answer questions asked at the comment section. Great work! keep it up.

  • Hey Bill,

    If you have gotten say a new reverb and you like it better than the reverb you were using, would you ever go back and rerecord any older songs you did with the old reverb but using the new reverb this time? Or would you just leave those old recordings to be what they are?

    Reply
  • nice pedal! Nice playing as always. Is there still time for me to send a track for the pedal contest?
    Where do i upload it to? Thanks man.

  • I really like the sound of this reverb unit. For $350 it seems to bring a lot to the table!
