Boss RV3 vs RV6

Post by Jim Saunders »

My reverb is getting weak and I'm considering a RV6 and I wonder how it compares to the RV3, especially for the delay factor.

Rv6

the RV6 is reverb only, no delay.
the RV6 is able to fine tune the reverb more than the RV3.
as a reverb only pedal, it does a much better job than the RV3, but you give up delay.

i think BOSS figured out they could sell two pedals with separate functions, and the RV3 was discontinued.

If you want something that does reverb and delay the Keeley Caverns might work for you

Sing unto Him a new song, chant well unto Him with jubilation. For the word of the Lord is true, and all His works are in faithfulness. The Lord loveth mercy and judgement; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

I went ahead and bought an RV6 and I am really liking it, although I am still learning the settings. It does have a delay setting, which is the last (8th) selection on the dial. Also I am using a DD6 with the RV6 and getting good results. Thanks, guys, for you input. Love this Forum!
