RV-6
A BOSS reverb pedal with eight reverb modes. Developed with an emphasis on clear ambience and transparency, it lets you shape sounds intuitively with three knobs. Connecting an expression pedal also allows foot control of the reverb depth. It is widely used as one of the standard compact reverbs.
A compact reverb with transparent ambience across eight modes
A model that pursues clear ambience and transparency with purpose-built reverb algorithms. Because the direct sound passes through as an analog signal, reverb can be layered while preserving the guitar's inherent character.
Eight reverb modes
Alongside the ROOM, HALL, PLATE, and SPRING staples, it offers +DELAY combined with delay, SHIMMER enveloped in harmonic spread, DYNAMIC with depth that follows your playing, and MODULATE, which adds movement to the tail. One unit covers standard ambience through ethereal spatial effects.
Three-knob control
Choose a mode, then adjust the LEVEL, TONE, and TIME knobs and the sound falls into place, with the output optimized internally for the settings. Connecting an optional expression pedal allows continuous foot control of reverb depth, adding dynamics while you play.
I/O for any instrument
The inputs and outputs handle both mono and stereo, with a generously set maximum input level. Beyond guitar, it works for reverb processing with keyboards and PA gear.
