Boss Rv 2 Vs Rv 3

This isn t a rackable piece of gear as it is a stomp box.

Boss rv 2 vs rv 3.

The rv 3 is a combination reverb and delay pedal. The pedal has a 1 4 inch input and two 1 4 inch outputs. No control over the number of repeats but its really grainy and squishy. I was actually considering a dd 3 to pair with a reverb not necessarily boss as long as it had a plate setting.

There is a new pedal out now made by digi tech the rv 7. What could be better for me. Just no hold but stereo out. It offers four different high density reverb modes plus three delay modes offering delay times up to 2 000ms.

And with the tone knob pseudo analog. I find it difficult to use the rv 3 though. I don t need fancy reverbs but tis a bummer there s no spring setting. The rv 3 seems to be the one for me.

The rv 5 is strictly a reverb pedal. It has the standard size and make up that most boss pedals do with a nine volt battery compartment and power supply jack. And rv 3 can double as a dd 3 type delay. And the rv 3 has even longer delay times than a dd 3.

Since that reverb shootout thread i ve sold the rv 2 and am kind of regrettting it. Offers 4 reverb modes and 3 delay modes with delay time up to 2 000ms. The delay is nicer on the rv 2 aswell. Plate is ok but its not the blue sky not the rv 3 either and delay is ok but the rv 3 delay and verb is the cats meow.

Combination digital reverb and delay pedal with studio quality sound. You have more reverb adjustments with the rv 5 but at the sacrifice of the delay function. The rv 3 is a popular professional quality pedal that can produce reverb delay or both. Both are good sounding pedals however with the rv 3 you are rather limited in fine tuning the effects.
