«  Excellent pedal that's always worth! »

Digital reverb pedal
Four controls: E. Level, manages the level of effect.
Tone, the brightness of the reverb.
Time, time that will put it before shutting down.
Mode, super convenient knob, its basic nature: spring, flat, modulate ...

pedal fully stereo (2 inputs and 2 outputs).
Alim on 9 V battery or AC adapter standard.

Boss classic case, practical, well designed, indestructible.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is very simple. It comes soon to discover one or more favorite sounds, it can easily replace the reverb of an amp as it is simple to master! I did not have to make use of the manual, as usual at Boss!
Editing sounds is easy.
Well of course, choose a single preset, this pedal does not have a memory like a multi effect. At the same time, it is not what is asked!

SOUND QUALITY

The pedal seems quite neutral. Super versatile, it can cover all genres, and all reverbs "conventional", I mean she can not go to very sophisticated effects to the EHX Cathedral, for example!

I used the method "hall" to grow my sound Hard Rock.
Mode "modulate" is super interesting that already has a basic reverb, just to pass a color or a particular song, for example!

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for many two years. I purchased a Classic 30 for 300 euros because the reverb was hs, problem solved quickly with this pedal. I had not tried other models, Boss is simple, standard and direct and I wanted that kind of thing for my first set of effects choices I do not regret. I have not sold, can you it will be me one day!
The value for money always seems a bit high.

With experience and a larger budget, I do not know if I would do this choice, I think Strymon crushes the market with its magnificent Blue Sky ...

This pedal is great, does what is asked of him!
