see other reviews below, all t said.

UTILIZATION

very simple. like any Boss pedals compact, a switch, 4 knobs. is simple. Manual took the path of the closet.

SOUND QUALITY

it is important to say that I use for synthesizers (a Juno 106 and MS2000) in conjunction with a Line 6 DL4 dlai. for having tried several modlisation Reverb pedal format, I can tell you that the RV5 is the best choice for keyboards. he complains of being cold and without personality. it's true, but that's what makes it usable with synths! qu'auront the problem is that other reverb are Designed to be used with a guitar. gold keyboard does not register the same frequency drives or the same parameter profile and a guitar sound. given my budget ($ 170 Canadian), the RV5 just silent Only the reverb give this "Lush" and this DEFINITIONS other reverbs did not offer. To tell my story, I buy EHX Holy Grail without even taking the time to try telling me that if a bad c'tait Reverb, it would not be as popular. it even says it's a REFERENCES. I was terrible dception a dubious DEFINITIONS original sound, little or no parameter, very little versatility. he's back in the store and then I tried the RV5! slap! quite the contrary! a versatile reverb, an irreproachable etc. DEFINITIONS. is that it's digital technology and the name says it clearly! not hot at all but perfect for the synth used for the same voice he does. may be that for the guitar, it may not be the best choice but DEFINITIONS RV5 is a mat that can be used with little prs all.

in terms of presets, Hall, Room is good, and very bon.plate intressant gate can be useful for some specific sounds. Spring is not really Russia, but the fact is really not the best reproduction.finalement Modulate mode, what you said is true, it is simply sublime! the pedal is worth of being purchased will not be only for this mode! not at all like the "Flerb" holy grail of which is a real flop.



OVERALL OPINION

I use it mainly for 3 months and am Modulate Hall and could not be more pleased. indeed, may be he is better in this world (T-Rex Room-mate etc..) but given my budget, the RV5 is really shown the only candidate who is shown the height my requirements for use with keyboard. The Holy grail is to hell with a guitar, probably the best qualitprix but this is not the keyboard. not only the robustness of Boss pedals, the presence of knob Tone and the possibility of rgler reverberation time are absolutely non-behavior and negligible assets. I give it a 9 because the way Spring is when he, quite far from perfect.
