SeriesElectro-Harmonix Holy Grail

I paid roughly 100 USD from a guy who'd sold his amp and didn't need it anymore. It is very easy to use. In addition to that, the design of the unit is very nice and makes you wanna try it out. But of course the best thing about it is the "Reverb" and the "Flerb" effect which is a mix of flanger and reverb that you can get out of it. The only thing that made me a bit reluctant at the prospect of buying it was the fact that the unit only works with an adapter and no batteries which I think is a shame but the quality of the effect makes you forget about that quite quickly. The pedal is very light in itself so it is hard to say whether it could withstand a truck driving over it. However, apart from that the construction looks reliable. Great effect sound. I've been trying out and buying a few reverb pedals before I bought this one and kept always returning them to the store because it wasn't this organic pure sound reverb sound that I was looking for. Everytime I was buying one, the guy at the store told me "See you tomorrow when you return it". Finally, I returned the last one and bought this one which I can promise I am not going to return to anyone anytime soon. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

Electra harmonics is really known for their great sounding effects pedals and especially the Big Muff fuzz distortion pedal. They really use a large box to put their effects pedals inside which to some people uses a lot of room on the pedal board. This is one of those padels that uses quite a bit of space for only with a single effect. This padel does sound quite fantastic if you can get past the large and bulky size of the unit. It is a cool sounding pedal and it has the features laid within it to get anyone to write for you for the tone that they are looking for. UTILIZATION Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Plus Reverb Pedal Features: Realistic spring, hall, and room reverbs Control over damping, reverb time, and modulation speed Blend, Amount, and Reverb type knobs Compact, rugged metal housing SOUND QUALITY This pedal has three control knobs cooperation. First you have a blend knob which mixes the effect signal with the drive signal then you have an amount control which gives you to overall exact sound in volume. Then you have any reverb switch that gives you three modes of operation including spring, hall, and room reverb tones. These paddles do you sound fantastic and at the price point they are a must-have in my opinion. There is really so many tones available for this pedal even though it is a simple reverb pedal. It is a classic sound that has a load of tones and features that make it a go to pedal for the gigging guitarist. OVERALL OPINION At new you can find these pedals for right around $145. That's a pretty good price for a great sounding pedal I will last you a lifetime of great tone and effect. Electro harmonics is one of those companies that continues to build sounding units right here in the United States and has a reputation for quality and sound. This is one of those petals that sounds great and at the price point it is a must-have.
