    "Spring" and "hall" are really like musical and natural reverbs
    rglages of the pots before 12 are more natural and soft
    APRS rglages the 12 are harder, more "force", but perfectly usable
    "Flerb" Málaga is one of spring with a little flanger, giving her a nice color but not what EXAGRES a little bonus ...
    there is nothing to throw, that's good!

    It is simple and musical, not like these pedals numriques l. ..
    I disassemble the box to see what makes a good c'tait rverb analog and I t's not!
    in there ... a beautiful chip?!
    Well yes, it's digital and good
    and for 100 euros (with transformer!) it pushes the pedals much Chréa (digital too ...)
    The report price is super top quality
    To date, it is the queen of my set of pedals, my grail what ...

    - Sound (logical)
    Ease-

    with limited intelligence and laziness for its unlimited (there who recognize?;)), I must find my sound right away! that's what makes me love the EHX pedals.
    being used to the config of this mark, it took me less than a minute to shop around and find my favorite reverb (similar to the Fender's reverb)

    SOUND QUALITY

    Let's turn the pedal:

    provides access to the switch spring reverb: reverb very nice, not too this, ideal for play in
    a well-reverberated
    Hall reverb with: then it's the super deep reverb, this pedal provides a church!
    my engl Ritchie Blackmore (clean with a thunder god) sounds very Fender
    with the aforementioned pedal
    to flanverb: Yeah .. for those who love ... otherwise it's useless. I would have preferred an alternative
    reverb

    to give more intensity to the reverb, just turn the knob.
    where they begin to feel that it is digital technology is when you reach 12. it starts to not sound (feedback, notes incomprehensibility, grain loss from the amp)
    ca I have no problem for me because the effect knob to between 10 and 11.

    I put a 10 if it had been fitted with a third type of reverb as the default that I just mentioned never arises in 99.9% of users

    OVERALL OPINION

    Right foot to be inserted into the loop before the echo at the end of string.

    Most:
    sound, provided that they remain valid in the field of sound I would say
    the price (90 € on average)
    the robustness of EHX pedals, indestructible
    tranfo the "given"

    the -:
    shame there not a third type of reverb instead of flanverb ...

    if you have € 100 +, go for it rather for the Holier Grail offers more possibilities. (Same hall and spring reverb and all the better)

    OVERALL OPINION

    For two days, I'm a fan. The price occase dfie any competition (60 €), and even nine, was not a hole in Luc. I compared with Digiverb, which is doing quite well, but that increases the types of rverbs intrt not for me. So back to basics with the Holy Grail.

    comparison reveals that this pedal is really the holy grail (for once that "they lie)
    The sound is great, I tried next to a twin reverb (yes), look no bah is the same thing; ehx bluntly copied the famous reverb, and we will not worry plaindre.C is great.
    I use the method above personal room is in my opinion the most effective and closer to what I expect from a reverb, namely transparency and presence.
    Now how cool spring is also a bit light ptetr, the flerb menfin ... it's nice too, but more fun in the spirit that really useful.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 months
    I was attracted by its quality and its price especially, it's really amazing what is given for such pedals
    I was not a follower of EHX but then I'm back hehe
    as I said before I tried many models before, I think that there is no photo (also the worst of all is the BOSS .... HORRIBLE)
    With experience, I'll buy not, because music is an abyss, and I'm sick of seeing from the biftons so MEUUUH ... if I do it again, rather than 24 times as looks like another.

    an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail (bought new)
    a dunlop cry baby gcb 95 (bought used)
    GE7 a boss (also bought used)
    with all this in addition to the peavey tube I also use a marshall mg 30dfx

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a good week.

    I also tested the different reverb to less than € 100 and then Danelectro behringer and as the boss rv-5 but nothing I liked the fact that the only Danelectro SPRING, behringer is the brand most disappointing of music equipment (not impressive that the brand has disappeared), and the boss is a digital therefore what is good quality it is not enough for me my prize is a bit chilling.

    This is a unique analog reverb pedal. It can't be edited through a PC or Mac, and is not controllable by MIDI. It isn't rackable, as it is a guitar pedal. It has a 1/4" input and a 1/4" output, and can be powered with a power supply that comes with it, as well as with a battery.

    UTILIZATION

    The editing on this box couldn't be easier. It has one knob and a switch with three modes. The different modes are spring reverb, which is similar (almost identical) to the reverb found in old-school guitar amps. The next setting, hall, is pretty obvious.

The different modes are spring reverb, which is similar (almost identical) to the reverb found in old-school guitar amps. The next setting, hall, is pretty obvious. It sounds like you are playing in a room with lots of natural reverb. The third setting is called "flurb" and it stands for a mixture of flanger and reverb, which is a good way of describing the effect.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I use this primarily with my Strat and Twin combo, since I use that most. I've tried it with an SG as well, and I liked that too. In general, this pedal will probably work the same with most guitars, and will possibly work well with other instruments like bass, keys, and vocals too. The quality of the sound is pretty awesome. It doesn't color the sound too hard from what was originally plugged it. It's generally pretty transparent. I thought that only having the one knob would be kind of limiting, as there isn't a whole lot of control to be found, but I actually kind of liked it after awhile. The fact is, the pedal is only capable of producing GREAT tones. It just depends on how much reverb you want there to be. I think that the spring and hall settings are way better than the "flurb" setting, but that's mainly because I am not a huge fan of the flanger effect in general. That being said, the spring setting is almost exactly like the reverb on my twin amp, except possibly clearer. I was quite a fan of it, really. The hall reverb is also quite natural. I like the sound of really reverberant rooms in general, but it's not always possible to record parts in rooms like that. This is when pedals like this come in handy. It seems like each value on the knob is like a different tone, good for almost every purpose.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The only thing I disliked about this pedal was the "flurb" setting. I had no use for it. Otherwise, it sounded great. Even though its marketed as being great for recording, I don't know if this is necessarily true, as the reverb does not have many ways to affect the sound. It might be difficult to manage within the context of recording a song. I think that this is a perfect pedal if you want reverb on your guitar during a live show. It might work with vocals for live shows, as well. I think that this is a great pedal, which isn't surprising since this company has always made great pedals.

    The Electro Harmonix Holy Grail is an analog reverb pedal. It has a 1/4 inch input and output and is not a rackable unit - it is a stompc box.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The reverb produced with the Electro Harmonix Holy Grail reverb is great. Even though the parameters are limited, the three different types of reverbs make it vesatile because they are each unique sounding from each other. The spring and hall reverbs are both rich and are your typical spring and hall reverb effects. The flerb, on the other hand, is unique from just about any other reverb sound, as it brings its own sound to the table. I have used this pedal only with guitar - usually a '76 Fender Twin Reverb and a Gibson SG.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using the Electro Harmonix Holy Grail for about three years. I love it because of the high sound quality and the ease of use. I don't have to fiddle for hours with this to get a good sound - it is quick and easy to dial in a great reverb tone. While this isn't as versatile as a Boss RV-5 or a Line 6 Verbzilla, you'll save a bit of money if you are looking for some simple, but realistic reverb sounds. The price is cheap and you know you're getting a good product because of Electo Harmonix's great reputation. Overall, I definitley recommend guitars who need some reverb to look into the Holy Grail.
