Boss Rv 500 Vs Empress Reverb

I have watched countless videos and read dozens of reviews of the boss stuff.

Boss rv 500 vs empress reverb. It beats the much hyped source audio ventris to the punch and will likely still have more onboard than the latter when it finally sees the light of day this month or next. The rv 500 reverb pedal is a three footswitch unit that s based around stored patches. There s no doubt for me though that the boss rv 500 is the most state of the art reverb pedal currently available and allows you to do things no other reverb pedal can. If i were in the market for a reverb pedal now i d definitely consider the boss rv 500 as well.

This is sort of a blind listening test where i have dialed up the most commonly used reverb types for a direct comparison of these two awesome pedals. This multifaceted creation machine features class defying 32 bit ad da along with 32 bit 96 khz floating point processing and immense programmability putting pro level studio reverb and more at your feet. Other than that i still like the blue sky spring reverb better than the spring reverb on the rv 500 just a little bit more. There s a normal setting that sees the first two footswitches recalling patches stored in.

The rv 500 also offers detailed emulations of two classic roland products that date back to the 1970s and 1980s specifically the venerable re 201 space echo complete with switchable head combinations and the srv 2000 digital reverb. Journey to new dimensions of time and space with the rv 500 the most powerful and versatile reverb processor boss has ever produced. This multifaceted creation machine features class defying 32 bit ad da along with 32 bit 96 khz floating point processing and immense programmability putting pro level studio reverb and more at your feet. When all the dd 500 vs timeline videos hit youtube a couple of years ago i couldn t make out anything the critics were saying.

It has a dual engine like the ventris but adds a delay to each reverb and costs less and has a much more extensive on board user interface not dependent on a computer for deep editing. That all changed with the launch of the dd 500 digital delay and now they have done a similar job for reverb and modulation pedals with the rv 500 and the md 500.
