All user reviews for the Electro-Harmonix Holier Grail

Digital reverb pedal along with a gate reverb

4 reverb modes:

- Room
- Spring
- Hall
- Flerb (reverb flangée)

each mode has a submode (short or long)

knob to mix the reverb

2 gate reverb modes:
- Only reverb
- Direct + reverb

to choose an attack (slow, fast) and direction (reverse gate, ca cut above the threshold)
knob of seuil.1 multicolor led indicates whether the position of the signal over the threshold

jack input, 2 outputs (main and reverb only)

true bypass

no input or stereo switch on / off, if anything was added

UTILIZATION

Reverb level is simple, we chose the way, the mix and before

for the gate ca be quite complicated for the guitar due to dynamic rather vague, with a compressor in the AC input should be more manageable. But as I have not purchased for the gate ... is defined to be very useful on instrumentals type synths or drum machine

SOUND QUALITY

Then, hat

it happens to detect the fact that it's a digital effect I paid him a shot. nothing to do with Boss, too cold for my taste. I think in a reverb pedal is not better

modes Spring, hall and room are breathtaking realism, whether in long or short. I play on an American TV, if you know Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley you imagine what we can do in terms of reverb. the flerb is fun, must see the usefulness against

the course of the mix knob is very well studied, up to half the reverb stays behind after the cathedral's hall mode!

the gate I study later, all I can say with the limited testing performed is that the transitions are very good

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a week and I already passed

I have not tried much else, as I sought a reverb pedal that hot and there's not a huge selection! is ideal for an amp with no reverb

a bit expensive (200 euros) but it's well worth if you want to screw up the signal of its effects loop. I wish I had a stereo input m'enfin account as I have a Twin Reverb later he will not need

I probably do it again the same choice

I will add just that it's a big pedals, I have a boss who is very ridiculous ct!
It's not his advantage but if you want a smaller Whereas the Holy Grail is too!

For a complete pedals so it trs 9

UTILIZATION

No Mystras, 5 knobs and voila!
The threshold of the gate is sensible I think!

SOUND QUALITY

It sounds really good, we (I) do (me) makes the pad is numrique any account, I use the aux (derrire a mo-fx) on a mixing desk for synth s, groovebox ...
My prfres are Hall, Room and Spring, the specially Flerb enough, I love to vote!
Everything is subjective but it's a try anyway pedals before considering the purchase of another may be less CHRE! I cracked me live!

OVERALL OPINION

For three months she makes me happy, the Hall reverb on a synth and we Satellis in space
The gate is really excellent on rhythm, a dclencher allows only the reverb on the snare hit for example.
BMOL, the gate is super sensitive, and I wonder why the threshold knob has a race so long, you move just a millimtre and rglage is lost!

I have also heard of a TC M300 revebs that sounded good too, but numrique.

I Rasht tomorrow if mine pte but smells like a really solid!

UPDATE: APRS longer pass over the gate is not so sensitive that in fact it's just that it prcis trs, when changing the length of the reverb or The blend was amended rglage the gate and broad possiblilité are following the instrument that puts into it.

What are the effects or types of effects available? What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...) Are they ditables? Via an editor Mac / PC? What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI) Is this a rack or rack MODEL? *

imposing the bte! but easy to use and efficient, what more?

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale Is it easy? The edition sounds and effects is it easy? The manual is clear and sufficient? * ...

for basic use, no problem for the gate g and multistep possibility that the back gate, the length of the gate, the gate only on the reverb on the whole, leaving only reverb ect ... short, many possibilities can be a ring in a style trs gilmour is great.
I will do my shit disturber, but the top does have to have a footswitch to switch between short and long reverb, a t a must have! I put 9

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes? Which instruments do you use? What are those you prfrez, you dtest? *
rverbe a monstrous, which is not transparent MXR environment, it is great, the only BMOL is the spring rverb ... when you go version annalogique ... then 8, but good if you leave a boss or digitech ... trsraliste remains.

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it and what is the particular feature you like best and least? Have you tried many other models before acqurir? How do you report qualitprix ? With the exprience, you do again this choice? * ...

I have several test, a large majority of rverb too digital and kills the sound of the guitar, they are often poorly gr wheelbase and the mix more than anything else, however, I recomand also mxr and vox time machine not bad either, I have to mention specially the G-DR-2 lab is for me one of rverb PDAL I could buy more The Holier grail, or instead (well j'siterais right ... even say if it no longer produced, it is the G-lab that I would!)

I compared the sister, the holy grail is very simple, but it works really well if you want to be taking the head, and the holiest grail is extremely powerful, but too much to that I would. For the price, I do not use.

Reverb pedal, digital of course, several functions hall, spring, and flerb room.
One can also set the gate (the more you scratch the more you hear the strong reverb or vice versa) and the length of the reverb.

UTILIZATION

We test a type of reverb, power is adjusted for the effect, it's stupid.

SOUND QUALITY

Hmmm, Electroharmonix never let me down, and there is simply delicious, the reverb sounds really good a real treat.
The flerb is anecdotal (flanger + reverb) but other reverbs are hell.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 2 months and I can not get enough, a large hall reverb thoroughly and begins to play in Notre Dame de Paris, and conversely a room reverb sounds as if you were playing in your john lol.
I listened to several samples of the beast, and I would do this choice with your eyes closed (obtained under Used in perfect condition ').

Nothing to say about this pedal.
