Analog Dry Tone and Versatile I/O

While the RV-6’s reverb effects are high-tech digital, you can rest assured that your straight guitar tone always remains pure analog as the effect is blended in. Convenient auto-switching jacks let you integrate with any pedal chain, with support for mono, mono-to-stereo, and stereo-to-stereo operation. And by plugging into the B input only, the RV-6 outputs a 100-percent wet sound, great for working with more complex rigs that employ parallel processing chains and mixers. There’s also a jack for connecting an optional expression pedal, allowing you to control the effect level in real time as you play.

Reverb Modes

+DELAY—This is reverb combined with delay. The synergistic effect provides rich reverberation.

SHIMMER—This reverb is distinctive for its sparkling high-frequency range. It produces fantasy-like reverberation wrapped in spacious overtones.

DYNAMIC—This reverb automatically sets the depth of the effect according to your performance. It produces deep reverberation without blurring the overall shape of your playing.

ROOM—This reverb simulates the reverberation of a room. It produces warm reverberation.

HALL—This reverb simulates the reverberation of a hall. It produces clear and spacious reverberation.

PLATE—This simulates a plate reverb (a reverb unit that uses the vibration of a metal plate). It produces metallic-sounding reverberation with an extended high-frequency range.

SPRING—This simulates a spring reverb built into a guitar amp.

MODULATE—This reverb adds modulation to hall reverb, producing extremely good-feeling reverberation.
