Best Guitar Reverb Pedals (2024 Update)

Absolutely incredible sounds from this pedal, build quality is brilliant and the different reverb types are endless, only fault that I can say about it was the lack of instructions in the instruction booklet that comes with it ! Pretty much useless as far as how to navigate the preset menu? Fortunately I did find some guidance on YouTube on how to find said presets! But after i found out it’s been an absolute joy to use, I was thinking if it was worth the quite high price tag ? But fear not, it’s worth every penny I can assure you, takes your music production to another level! Stunning 😍colin h.

Great sounding pedal, preset features are a god send, manipulation of sound, tones and modulation is easy and effective. Build quality is a little disappointing but the experience of using the pedal more than makes up for thisReviewed by Absolute Music custo

Overall: First- I own the Nemesis delay one as well as a TC alter ego x4 and TC HOF Reverb: When I first fired this up I was wowed by the shimmer and edome reverb but after diving in I found that none of the reverbs are warm in the slightest sense. Even adjusting the tone knob would not warm up any of the types of reverb. Delays: not even close to either my nemesis or TC alter ego x4. Once again the delays sounded thin with a high end shimmer to every type that I could not dial out. User interface: very frustrating to use in stand alone non app mode. You need to remember to switch over what you want to control. If you are adjusting kets say reverb mix level and do not save it and then go to adjust delay, the reverb looses its settings etc. App- my LG phone would not work with this unit. Works fine on my Nemesis. PC app: plugging this into your computer generates so much noise that its not possible to hear your guitar while making adjustments. The PC app has very limited capabilities so if your phone app wont work youre just out of luck. Over all I say a hard pass on this. It would have saved so much room. Bummer.Ty

I have a Line 6 HX FX and it supports my needs for the most part. But the Reverb and Delays are very lacking. That's where the Collider comes in. The 56 bit engines for each effect makes this pedal a great pedal when it comes to reverb and or delays. The controls couldn't be more simple to adjust, and the toggle switch controlling which controls do what is a nice touch. Full MIDI implementation makes this pedal work with any setup. You can run Delay+Reverb at the same time in series, parallel, or run 2 delays or 2 reverbs at the same if you like. I have had the pedal for a month and it continues to surprise me in the tones. The software app for PC/MAC and Android/ios allows even more versatility and fine tuning, including sharing presets. Although I heard great sound samples of the pedal, it exceeds my expectations in ease of use and tone. The big pluses for me is the sound, and the ease to make great pre-sets.Dave

First of all you can’t go wrong with any Source Audio gear. This pedal will become your favorite reverb, delay. As soon as you plug it in you’ll hear some amazing tone with out digging deep into the manual. I do recommend you look the manual over, because this masterpiece of a pedal has some hidden features. You can use 2 delays at the same time or 2 reverbs. The pedal is designed perfectly. The knobs are labeled so even a bass player could figure it out. Now the tones, I could go on and on about how great it sounds, but if you are reading this you already know that. This is far from one trick pony. The selections of Reverbs & Delays and the way you can manipulate the sounds will give your playing a new Avenue or your might find your sound in it.Huey Falls

I have an amp that doesn't have a reverb channel and was using a multieffects pedal that had a reverb function, but I decided it was time to have a seperate reverb pedal so I could run it alongside the multieffects – kind of to simulate a reverb channel on an amp. I did my research and picked this little guy. I was suprised first off at the weight – for being a die-cast chassis, it wasn't heavy at all. I found my favorite setting in the Hall reverb, simply because I liked the decay it produced, but all of the effects seemed to work very well. the response was accurate from effect to effect when you turn the amount knob. I found at about 9 o'clock you would get a minimal effect that usually is more heard at the tail end; and at 11-12 o'clock it blends with your dry signal so it's very prominent. once I got past 12 o'clock though, the more dynamic picking I'd do the more the effect would push through, so sometimes it would throw my drummer off a little bit since it was almost a slap-back decay. with the amount knob all the way dialed-in, the effect obviously overtakes all of your dry signal; and in the flerb setting you get some awesome sounding ambient sounds. All in all, I wish I could get a little bit more of a dry/wet amount ratio, but this pedal definitely has some cool sounds and can be used in a variety of settings. I think it's the best pedal to replace a reverb channel for an amp and gives you more versatility than that one sound your amp channel would give you.Clifton

Nice nice pedal, feels fairly tough, the difference between the spring and hall I thought was quite noticeable. It take me a while to get a setting I liked however I imagine it will depend on your amp and guitar plus we all like different tones. Overall I like it would be interesting to see the difference between this The nano and the normal sized. 👍👍👍STEPHEN F.

Picked one a few weeks ago because I switched to a tube head without reverb. Orange TH30 which is also awesome but felt the need to add some verb at times. I choose this pedal for 3 reasons, compact, simple operation and $. Good decision I believe. Had no problem daisy chaining to other pedals using my Snark 9V set up and love the spring setting. As others have said, the "Flirb" is virtually impossible to use for any practice purpose and Frank Zappa may be the one person who could have utilized it. Still a good pedal.Latty

I bought this pedal as my old Boss DM-1 Analog Delay finally gave out on me a week before a recording session. I ordered the Avalanche Run on a friend’s recommendation. Honestly, I was shocked as to how close to a true AD it sounded. To be fair, there is nothing being made today with the same goo-iness of my DM-1, but at the same time the Avalanche Run just slays it on features. If you are really needing accurate quantizing/tap tempo features, the Avalanche has them, in spades. The reverse feature is super cool, and once I bought a cheap expression pedal to go with it, it opened up whole other worlds. The pedal is dead quiet, and it honestly did everything I needed and way more. Full disclosure: I don’t like new pedals. I like analog delays and chorus pedals with old Reticon chips and MN3005’s. I like script and bigbox MXR’s. I like FuzzRite’s and Echoplexes. I’m an annoying snob about pedals. All that said, the Avalanche Run has stayed on my pedalboard next to all my old boxes. Ask anyone who knows me, and that fact is the biggest endorsement I can give. I don’t want a new pedal on my board, but the Avalanche Run has given me no choice. It just does it’s job too well. I wanna hate it, and I hate to love it – but I do. It’s an amazing box.Ian R.

It does what it says. Great felays plus reverb. Both easy to tweak and experiment with. It is most probably more capable vs what you will end up using it for. My first pedal that is quite pricey, for me that is. But not a waste of money. Solidly built and delivers performance quietly.he sang

This delay/reverb pedal is such a powerhouse, it produces vast and lush reverb sounds and the delay sounds like something from another dimension. Playing with it equals endless hours of fun and it sounds great on everything! I am using it on guitar, synths, as an FX unit running through my DAW and I even use it on my tape machine to create super lush ambient loops.Alex

Disappointed, totally. I espected more for the cost. 50 dollars for a multi-preset pedal wich sounds the same all presets (as a bad funtioning spring reverb). I ve had many… Many- I insist – reverbs (hof 1, hof 2, arena, verbzilla, supernatural, rv6) and this one have been the worst. Maybe you should invest a little more money and get a nux or donner (those havent let me down). Havent mention the fact this pedal affect painfully the dry signal too much, even at low mix levels. Stay away, bad and expensive. Dont give credit to demos wich are posted around.tfperaltav

The product itself is incredible!!! Absolutely fantastic light show in one unit! The only problem I have is that the so called user manual was a spec sheet and had no instructions on how to actually operate the unit. I would absolutely recommend this for anyone but make sure you have the time to figure out what the display is saying and how to go through the menu list to make it perform the different functions it's capable of.chrisnew919

Great reverb! It does spacey really well as well as more normal reverbs. Really nice plate verb. For such a versatile pedal, it's surprisingly easy to use. It's a bit pricey, TC has some great reverbs for much less than this, but I enjoy the versatility and tweak ability of the dark world. Doesn't like some power supplies, it didn't like my Cioks, but does well with my Walrus power supply or even a Powerall.nanomator2

I use this pedal between a Rode microphone and an H2n Zoom recorder to introduce Reverb while recording. I also use two Behringer Equalization pedals (one per channel) to reduce the mid-range, so the recording sounds more natural. With these 3 pedals, the mp3 file is ready for production off the recorder, and (I think) the quality is better than if I added Reverb and equalization in post-processing. I love the good sound/low price of Behringer. **** My reverb pedal eats up 9V rechargeable batteries (250mAh). So I used/custom built larger capacity 9V batteries as follows: 1. Li-Ion 9V .5Ah batteries (actually 7.4V, but it works)last 2 times longer. Initial cost = $21 2 batteries & 2bay charger 2. Tenergy 8x 1.2V 2Ah AA Ni-mh in series last 8 times longer. But when the weakest battery in the chain is fully discharged, the poor thing is reverse polarized by the others 7 in series! Fortuntely, I have not noticed deterioration. Initial cost using Tenergy batteries: $24 batteries + $3 8-batt. holder = $27 + $38 for 12bay Tenergy battery charger = $65 3. 2 Tenergy 18650-2600 3.4V 2.6Ah Li-Ion batteries in paralell feeding a boost up converter to get 7.4V at 90% efficiency. Using these batteries in paralell is a must because Li-Ion do not tolerate reverse polarization. The available current is 2.6Ah x 2 batteries x 3.4V/7.4V x 90% = 2.2Ah (about the same as 2. above.) Initial cost $13 batteries +$5 converter +$2 battery holders = $20 plus $15 2 bay intelligent battery charger = $35vpiotet1

Got this to add ambiance to my 1978 PAiA model 1551 Stringz n Things analog string synthesizer. I needed a compact, affordable reverb that had a wide range of settings and stereo input/output capability, since my PAiA is equipped with the optional 1551 sterero output board. The RV600 was the only option I found meeting all those criteria. It's small enough to fit on the shelf that is in front of the keyboard on the PAiA, has two truly discrete channels and lets one set the unit to provide anything from tight slapback reverb to Grand-Canyon like deeply extended resonance. I also like the fact it lets you tweak the tone of the output, which is critical when using a chorus based instrument like the PAiA. I don't have short battery life issues with the RV600, since I power it with a feed from from a small, 5 output "octopus" style 9v wall wart I got on eBay, which also powers a NADY MM-141 mini mixer that lets me adjust the balance of the two final outputs from the RV600. The worst thing I can say about the RV600 is the interaction between the decay and time adjustments is very complex, so it can take time to learn how set this unit to get the precise type of reverb you are looking for. Tiny changes to the Decay setting have a big impact on the sound; in particular, when setting the RV600 to emulate larger spaces (such as "Hall" or "Space") if you start to get "ringing" or if the repeats are too extended, the way to fix that is not to change the decay but instead slowly tweak the time setting. The only other negative — which is more about my whole rig than the RV600 — is using this item in a two channel system does require a rat's nest of cables: two channels of keyboard out to a stereo Ernie Ball volume pedal, then two out of that to the RV600, then two out of that to the NAD MM-141, which then sends the final mix to two separate amps. I also have two cables that go to another Ernie Ball mono volume pedal, which I use to control the keyboard sustain.Mikeythemars

Playing for about 12 years now, and just starting to explore reverb pedals due to a recent amp of mine not having any built in. This pedal has lots of options, but none of them are particularly good – they're not BAD, per se, but neither are they anything worth writing home about. Yeah, it will add some ambient thickness to your sounds, but it's nothing like a simple reverb build into a decent amp; no amount of tweaking could make this sound like an organic part of my tone. It all sounded like a post-production afterthought to my fundamental tone instead of part of it. A fine option if you're on a very limited budget and can begrudge that kind of sound, though.The Axe Man

Maybe has Outemu Blues, but I feel finally the comfort from mechanical keyboards and ready to play like a pro. One con is and it is the complicated LED-mode change. Since you can't change the RGB lights style from software, you have to use the keyboard. Ain't that big deal, because it might take couple of hours to learn to use the RGB changing.timpoutane-0

It is a great pedal with good options. Serves its purpose and has a good variety of tones and sounds. The reverb doesn't hold as long as I'd like it to, but it is still a great pedal and I recommend it to anyone who needs reverb and is on a budget. Much better than I expected for $30.Joe

Overall: Whether you're trying to dial in a wet surf rock reverb or an ambient shoegaze tone with lots of atmosphere, this pedal can do it all. This is hands down the best pedal I've ever purchased and far surpasses any other reverb pedal I've heard. You can even tweaked it to make it sound like a proper spring reverb unit on an old fender amp. There's also a handy shimmer effect you can use to get some angelic and synth-like tones, which can sound monolithic accompanied with a fuzz. I'd recommend this pedal for any style of playing, as it's one of the most versatile ones on the market right now. Also since it's Boss it's built like an absolute tank. Need quality slap back, surf, or shoegaze type reverb? This is the unit for you.Alex

I use a few different brands of pedals and Boss makes solid pedals. This rv6 pedal makes a great variety of reverbs that sound very good with cleans, on every setting. I play with a few different distortions. It is very difficult to dial in a good reverb sound with too much distortion. The level setting has to be low and the sensitivity of the effects are boosted and that makes it very hard to easily swap from clean to dirty without major changes. Dirty will require serious tweaking. I would give it a 3 star because it's not friendly to dirty, but I'll give it 4 stars just because the cleans really do sound great and the variety and quality of sounds are in a price range well below many other reverbs of this caliber. It's a BOSS, a tank. I did mess with the shimmer with crunch and low level and found some decent sounds.Ghostpuncher

I got this as a catch-all reverb to round out a basic pedal board I use for home practice and hobby recording. First off, all the "usual suspect" reverb tones sound really great in the effects loop of my Bogner Atma combo. I had read reviews of the RV6 where it had been criticized for sounding digital/grainy, but I preferred it over the Oceans and HOF2 I compared it to. I classify myself as a somewhat fussy "toan snob" who still prefers tubes and analog, so I wonder if maybe that "digital/grainy" complaint was with it going straight in, out in front of the preamp. I'll have to get around to trying it like an outboard spring verb sometime. I really dig the shimmer verb, especially with a flanged, overdriven lead tone. I need to get an expression pedal now and play around with oscillating that! Last thing I want to compliment is the helpful buffer the Boss adds at the tail end of my board. I pretty much have no loss now. Kudos to Boss for yet another solid product!Lee B.

I've owned 8 reverb units over the last 30 years. This is a nice one. I just set it on the spring setting at about 8 o'clock and leave it there. Too much reverb sounds like a joke anyway, I grew up w/ spring reverb sounds from Fender amps like Princeton Reverb, Deluxe Reverb, Super and Twin reverb. etc. This won't sound exactly like that, but for the price it gets pretty close. It will work fine for recording/ performing w/o issues. I did notice it sounds different when using a single coil guitar vs. a Humbucker, that's a standard issue. True bypass is great. You can buy with confidence ,but you need to understand it's not like spending major money on a high end unit. I can say , no one will ever say, "hey that's a bad reverb" who will ever notice that…. maybe some super sound studio recording guy with 40 years of studio time ? who cares, plug it in a dial in a setting you like and play and enjoy.VJ

Excellent budget effects pedal – Great value – Has 3 basic settings Spring/Plate and Hall – Reverb sweep is very limited range, but mix control is almost unlimited (you can adjust to make it sound like your playing in the next house!) – I generally only use reverb to add snap to a dry signal amp, so was not expecting true ambience at this price range. *Pros – Robust build, large sweep controls, very quiet and clean, True bypass, optional 9V battery (you don't see many of those today do you?) Cons – Pedal adds slight boost to volume, beneficial to accent effect, but need to compensate when/if switching Off mid performance? Feefo failed to post this review??Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

Im just loving the new, beautiful sounds and tones from the this pedal. Awesome for Country chicken picking, Classic double lead tones are all covered here. Im pleasantly surprised with the sound I get from my other pedals when I introduced this to my pedalboard.johdal-lx28yf

I was pleasantly surprised with this pedal. Killer doubling effect with the top position of the three way switch. Middle position is one of the best chorus Ive heard. Bottom position is killer slap back. Definitely worth the price.johdal-lx28yf

Most of the sounds available from this are useable. It enriches your tone without the swirling usually associated with chorus and flanging. The "Abbey" reverb is so good I turned the spring line on my amp to nil! Downsides? It can sound a bit too "produced" with some settings, and it's so much smaller than it looks in the adverts for it! Maybe that last one is a good thing.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

I track usually 4 rhythm tracks, two of the exact same then two more of the same but with accents or harmonies etc as my main rhythm and I like it to be tight and sound like one guitar performance, the variations and accents and harmonies blend and widen the sound, also I use hard panning and other panning to make the guitar sound huge. With the guitar sound very close performance wise and tone/distortion quality wise, I find that it just sounds like one massive performance and the listener perceived it as a Randy Rhoads kind of singular performance. I'm the only guitarist and I play complex chords, this also let's be play parts of the chord separately for more even intonation and harmonics definition. It goes towards the big sound, I kind of learned from Alex Lifeson, Rhoads, and Hatfield and Wolf of Accept this approach as they all do the main rhythms and it sounds tight and huge. Mimiq helps me get the 4 tracks with only two performances and it adds natural sounding random variations that do what the multitrack stacking of individual performances does, it doesn't just uniformly cancel out all the interesting variations, which can happen if you just copy the same track and reamp. It does what I wanted to do, with less than half the effort.Mindcage

Bought to run a slight delay to a second amp more so than the "double track" thing. But actually this effect seems pretty decent. Did i immediately notice you can get phase issues? Yes of course. Did i get some of that notorious left right jump thing? Yes. But it seems to relate to using the pedal at the limits of what its happy with. For the price this thing is a keeper…because otherwise im having to spend big dosh on either the 30ms or the Deco. Buy this but be prepared to accept some limitations and bug bears. It aint bad at all.Rich

Capable of a wide range of sounds, typically in the more ambient and extreme range. Even at the lowest decay and mix settings, several of the reverb types remain excessive if only a subtle reverb is desired. The toneprint slot can be used to store a basic plate or spring reverb if so desired, or you can make your own reverb. The toneprint software is easy to use and reasonably intuitive. No noticeable faults, although reverb preset 5 has a tendency to glitch out, and rather than producing a slow pitch bending effect makes a synth-like sound. Uploading a toneprint to the pedal typically remedies this. I don't know if this is a common problem or if only my unit has this issue. Reverb tails do sound noticeably digital, if you are hoping to get a reverb pedal with sound quality comparable to a physical, you may be dissapointed. Overall a nice pedal. Not sure if I would buy it at the full retail price. If you can get it for 60-70 pounds, it may be worth it depending on what you want out of a reverb pedal.johannes427

This is one of the best pedals I have played. The sounds that are produced are beautiful and haunting. The switch is quiet and easy to activate. The controls are intuitive and well laid out. The tone print feature is invaluable, plus it is fun to beam it through the guitar pickup. The pedal is also quiet with no buzzes or hissing, I personally hate any hums or static in my guitar chain. Just fantastic.davetheraider1

Exactly what i wanted/needed. Superb..well…but it really is. I am very happy and pleased. Hard metal, well done, not a plastic tingaling.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

Over all ..not bad Good sounds for the price Effects loop has a lot of background noise . High gain channels sound good into el34 power then 4/12 cabwallofdoom35

Great range of sounds available, including a nifty delay. Sturdy enclosure, cool lights and right at home on my pedal board. The only thing wrong is the knobs feel a bit flimsy, but for the price, extremely pleased.muukiithefinn

this reverb unit is the mightiest of all! i use this with a DS 1 pedal and nothing more and it gives a natural color to your guitar sound. going thru a 50 watt MK II lead amp head, this unit does not sabbotage the natural sound of the amp but adds a clear and clean sound where everyting is heard includung mistakes and wrong notes when soloing. combined with the quiet and clean Dimarzio HS 2, HS 3, and HS 4 pick ups, you are in the zone as a true maesrto virtuoso! so sweep, tap, legato, and all if you will, buy this unit and you will hear yourself. And thats what people hear from you. This unit is the greatest reverb ever invented and I don't believe the'll be one better in the future.Bruce W. De Leon-0lHdt

I purchased this after trying it through a clean amp. The reverb options are amazing. But after adding it to my effects set up and running it into my dual rectifier with the gain up. I found a large amount of noise which caused me to have to get rid of this pedal. So good if you play clean bad if you like gain!!!james-pCfwX

To the reviewer who plugged this in to the mesa dual rec. reverb needs to be AFTER your distortion. Which means you need to run it through your effects loop, not through the front input of your amp.Also, turn your mids up, and the gain down….no one can hear you when your mids are scooped out and your gain cranked. All the best.Anonymous

This is a great combination reverb and delay. Very versatile, great sound quality. Can do anything from mild, to deep ambient.David

It stopped working after about 1 hours operation. They did refund me though. I guess you get what you pay for. Sounded ok until it stopped workingdamian9645
