Excellent review! Tasteful playing, good up front info about the pedal, and the best demo of this pedal on the net! Great job of cycling through the modes w/appropriate tweak-age of each one to get highly usable tones. Kudos and keep up the great work good sir!

Hello, I want to know if it's possible to use the hold function and then play on it by changing another preset without leaving the previous sound freezed at the same time...is it possible? Or the hold function follows the different presets/types of reverbs? Also I want to know if I can play a chord or note in 100% wet signal, then hold, and then play on it with a dry/wet signal (also with a different preset or type) Thank You

First, I just wanna say that this pedal was very well utilized in the intro track. Awesome. With that said, I’m with most people here in saying that it sounds very digital and metallic. It’s inherent in lots of digital reverbs. Strymon does really well in avoiding this sound.

@@AmbientEndeavors yesterday, I was pretty set on putting it up on reverb, but your video is making me reconsider. I was coming from a BlueSky, so this one critique that I had sorta bothered me. I know it’s got lots of other redeeming qualities about it and I know there are ways to dial it so that the buzzy sound is minimized. I’ll give it more time. In the meantime, I do have a mercury7 on the way 🤓

Nice video. I'm not sure about a general absolute best. Under $300 there's some great reverbs, but there's compromises. Depends what you want. A Surfybear is going to beat out any spring emulation. That said, I love the spring emulation of my UA FX ... but because it's stereo - and I have seen them just under $300 in the sales, if that counts? Still, even though it's limited, the 3 algorithms sound great. They sound better than the equivalent in the RV-200. So, for me personally, I'd take the UA FX. Granted, that's very borderline on the price. And the RV-200 kicks it's ass in flexibility, MIDI, user presets, programmability. Then again, if ambient and character reverb is your thing, and especially if the UA FX is counted, then my favourite would be the Walrus Sloer. Then closely following there's the original Meris Mercury. But I'd find it hard to buy that and not just save up for the Mercury X and get the CXM modes. Again, I think beats this on sheer quality. But only two algos. Then Strymon Cloudburst for me, which is kind of only one thing - but it's a glorious thing. Similarly, I'd take a GFI Skylar over the Boss, because again, doesn't do everything ... but it does a few things really well. So, I'd happily loose all the features and take a 1. UA FX, 2. Walrus Sloer, 3/4. Mercury/Cloudburst tie 5. Skylar 6. Surfybear over the RV-200 Because ... Because, firstly, I just don't think it basically sounds especially first rate at any one thing compared to those. And secondly it's lacking character. If I wasn't running a stereo rig, there's Earthquaker Devices pedals like Afterneath V3, and other mono reverbs I'd take over this, after the Surfybear too.

@@AmbientEndeavorsYip, and one I can think of where this would might shine is where the midi is required. With a midi pedal rig/modeller rig. Or as an outboard midi controlled reverb for great synths that don't have a very good on-board reverb. So I'm thinking of are DSI Prophet'08, Prophet 6, OB-6 and the Tasty Chips GR-1. As well as things that completely lack effects. Like the Behringer analogue synths such as the Pro-800 (wash my mouth out with soap). Or the mono reverb only synths, like those by Dreadbox. Or after a character mono reverb like the Surfybear, Walrus Slo, or Earthquaker; for a great mono into stereo dual-reverb rig. Since Walrus Slo can be picked up quite cheap now.

@@AmbientEndeavors I was a little harsh actually, and I'm sorry. The other settings sounded really good. I don't actually own a really good spring pedal. I have a Build Your Own Clone spring reverb, which is definitely decent, but it's not convincing enough. I really like the sound of the spring on the UA Dream, but I don't own one (yet).

This is a fine demo and all but why do you spend such a short time on gate/reverse/slowverb when you spend such a long time on Room and Hall? I mean you can get a good sounding Room/Hall pedal anywhere, while few reverbs have a gated setting. What does reverse sound like full wet? What does gate sound like when you change the threshold or the predelay? Nice playing tho

I've heard that critique of Boss reverbs before, there's a "hifi" nature to them that can sometimes lose a bit of the warmth that comes from other verbs in class. I'd say it's a bit subjective and might jive with some folks' rigs or preferences and not others. I tend to like my reverbs a bit brighter to maintain clarity and such I maybe don't mind or notice it as much.

Those are both great choices. I hear you, the RV-200 isn't my all-time favorite sounds, but the interface is simplified and approachable and the variety of sounds fit a lot of needs. I honestly lean most often on room/hall/plate and those tones in RV-200 are solid in my mind. I wish a little that they made the ambient/experimental sounds a bit more interesting, c'est la vie.

Hmm. The R1 would be the natural comparison; I'd take the RV200 by a slight edge I think because you get more sounds and a bit easier of an interface to navigate. And it's cheaper :-) ...if you're an ambient fan though, definitely worth looking into SLOER - one of my favorite ambient leaning stereo verbs and I think those sounds clips the RV200 in the ambient / washy territory.
