BOSS RV-500 Reverb sounds amazing and does everything // RV-500 Reverb Preset Pack

[@worshiptutorials]

I think my favorite parts of this video (besides the glorious r’vurb) is… Bradford throwing shade at 19:23, and.. The shenanigans starting at 22:11

[@ShaighJosephson]

Nice to see the RV-500 get some well-deserved love after all these years... Biggest bang for the buck in reverb pedals, IMO...

[@jayyoungmusic919]

Bradford with The Colony House riff warmed my heart

[@struong57]

I’ve had an RV-500 pedal for over a year now and I learned SO MUCH from this video. I had no idea verbs could carry over to the next patch. I also never thought about going down an octave with shimmer. That could replace my POG. And who would’ve thought a short decay would work well for ambient. Thank you for this great video. 🙏🏽

[@averagemike7554]

The RV is a great unit and you guys made some great tones here! I think the RV doesn't get any love because it's not as "plug and play" as the Big Sky. But if you take the time to dive into it, the RV can do anything!

[@BrockDavisson]

That's the type of feeling I'm having right now. I feel like the rv-500 isn't wet enough and trying to get it at the right mix etc.. However when I plug into my bigsky and just use the mix knob it's great! But I'm going to keep working at the rv-500.

[@averagemike7554]

@@BrockDavisson my effect levels is usually between 70 and 90 depending on what I’m going for. I remember starting off with it and having to turn it up a lot more than I expected. Good luck man!

[@BrockDavisson]

@@averagemike7554 I found I definitely like it better in a/b mode more. Having both going at once seems to sound better and get closer to bigsky sounds for some reason. However 10 seconds trail is lame... they need to update that and let the reverb linger much longer! But still learning and enjoying it as a different flavor to my stuff!

[@BrockDavisson]

@@averagemike7554 Loving it more now. Found out that if you set the delay on each reverb to the right settings and right level, it helps carries the reverb and suddenly what used to be 10 seconds of reverb tail now leads to 30 seconds or more based on delay feedback etc...

[@thequantumvacuum]

I bought one of these about 5 years ago. It's a little bit more work to hone it than most other reverbs, but when you do, it sounds incredible.

[@victoriatench]

Braaaadddd! Love the 2:20 Colony House jam in there. My current fave band for miles. Rock on in Jesus’ name, my guys. 😄 I’ve had an RV500 collecting dust on my packed up board for a few years now - this walkthrough is an awesome reminder of how capable it is and inspires me to get back tinkering and shredding! 🙌🏾

[@tonymcalister9878]

Thanks. I have had this unit for over a year, and felt like I was the only one without a Strymon Big Sky.

[@yoshowa]

I got an RV-500 a couple of weeks ago. I love some of the sounds, and you guys did a great job dialing in these verbs, it’s a great pedal, with some awesome features like warp and twist. Downsides, 1)it takes a while to dial it in, 2) if you are using it in dual mode no spillover, and it cuts your presets down to 33, 3) try as I might I can’t get the midi clock to sync on the space echo, I’ve updated, reset, it shows the time change but the sound stays the same, 4) the community is fairly gone for this pedal and I don’t think Boss is doing much with it either, no updates. 4) the shimmer is usable if you take most of the shimmer out, shimmer and reverse are very hard to get good sounds out of. This is a pedal with great potential that Boss has not really shown any love to. You guys do a great job and God bless you.

[@BrockDavisson]

That's typical boss fashion. Release something and barely give it another look after it's out. They really need to up their game and get on board with putting out firmware once or twice a year like line 6 helix and other companies... but then again strymon hasn't updated the trifecta much either.

[@kennethcausing6042]

Great Ambient Sounds! I hope you guys can get a hold of the Boss GX-100. So more people use it for Worship. Getting my Gx-100 next month

[@suede__]

I've never used extra to describe anything, but that Gretsch sparkly gold top is _extra_ no question.

[@worshiptutorials]

... in all the best ways possible 😅

[@michaelwebb6331]

I will take Bradfords pick for $2,000! All kidding aside, thanks for taking the time to dive into this pedal. I have it on my board and it won’t be leaving anytime soon!

[@bmitchellmusic]

I will invoice you. Thank you for your blessing to our ministry 🙏🏼

[@felixayala05]

The haunted hall sounds awesome. I could use that every Sunday

[@daniel_lastname]

2:26 nice scott mills impression, my respect for you has doubled 👊🏻

[@bmitchellmusic]

Haha! Was on the fly and from memory so it wasn’t the exact riff but it was close! Thanks 😊

[@michaelbateman2019]

One of my biggest regrets is selling my 500 series pedals. I had all 3 and traded them for an HX stomp because we stopped using Amps at church and we’re going direct.

[@derekshaw5212]

Never thought I'd hear some Colony House on the Worship Tutorials. Great sounds.

[@bmitchellmusic]

I mean, their Steven Curtis Chapman’s sons 🙃 (two of them at least ha)

Man I miss my RV/DD 500s!!!!

[@infernogaming6273]

Thanks very much great tutorial and amazing tones!

[@aaronsanchez93]

Should totally get some bigsky presets going! I’d buy them from yall!

Good stuff- thanks guys!

[@benjamingrimsey]

Thought I was buying a BigSky, change of plans lol

[@DrBadLlama]

I could envision pairing haunted hall with terra echo from the dd-500 pack to great effect.

[@davideoverman]

What would you prefer this pedal or the even tide black hole as an do everything reverb?

[@timothysimpson1762]

Does patch cables look tight, What brand do you folks use?Thanks in advance

[@diegoalves2312]

Do you have the parameters for the reverb at 13:30 and the shimmer at 18:47, could you give them to me please?

[@ryancrouse7934]

I love your presets. I would buy some for Strymon or Empress Echosystem if you make some

[@PlaneTShakeRo]

You should do a boss rv500 vs strymon big sky mx showdown.

[@GamingHouseCinema]

When are you guys going to review the Nightsky!? I know it was made for like Synths and stuff but man, you can get some pretty nice Ambient tones out of it for guitar and Keyboards!

[@robnok7389]

Did you use the mangledverb of the H9 for your demos in this video? I'm lookung for this type of sound.

[@mikej8625]

Excellent pedal! Although I just sold mine to purchase a big sky 🤣. Still using my DD-500!

[@lukemcevoy5371]

I see you playing colony house in there, Bradford 😶😶

[@worshiptutorials]

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@RyanMainville]

Gotta shave four seconds off that intro time so 2:20 can start playing at 2:20

[@bmitchellmusic]

😂

[@cadendieck89]

What do you use to power the rv 500? I want one but i noticed it says it must be powered by the original power supply in the manual and on the pedal itself so that has me worrying. Does it work with other power supplies?

[@nathaniellarson8]

Boss always says that so if you use another power supply they are not on the hook if you fry it. It works with a standard power supply that can provide enough mA, I think it's 300 or 350mA. I use one of my 500mA outputs.

[@chinito6715]

Unrelated question to the video ! But I’ve recently been playing again for church’s worship team and I’ve been using the Line 6 HX Effects as my little gig. Though I’ve wondering on upgrading to the Line 6 Pog Go. Any advice on what’s best?

[@SomeSortOfSound]

Ehhhh, they're different. I feel like Stomp XL would be an upgrade

[@kmdmusic8540]

I've always wanted to know! What song is that you're playing in sound sample 5?? I've heard the song before but I cant remember the name!

[@worshiptutorials]

It's 'Praises (Be Lifted Up)' by Bethel

[@dividedbytimestudios]

Only took Line 6 DL4 MKII for Boss to update it

[@worshiptutorials]

Ha well to be fair, the RV-500 and DD-500 came our way before the new DL4. Unless I misunderstood your comment…

[@dividedbytimestudios]

@@worshiptutorials my comment was implying that Boss “updated the RV-500 Firmware” unless I misunderstood your video

[@chrishintzman868]

Okay seriously what is the song you’re playing for sample 3 at 2:38(ish). I recognize the song and have been searching my playlists for it since the video was posted. Help me put this to rest!

[@David_Perez06]

How is this 46 minutes ago???!!!! lol

[@theSimonManuel]

Why do so many guitarists have a volume pedal at the beginning of the chain? Only advantage I see is having the whammy ready to go, which is a little tricky if you're using the volume pot to swell. Always wondered why and here I am asking lol

[@noahmckenzie527]

It generally isn't actually at the beginning (even if it looks like it). Generally people like it after drives and before effects. But depends on how people like doing swells and such.

[@wmchristinmethehopeofglory4133]

Nice

[@daviiifigueiredo7773]

To be honest I don't think the sounds you guys made are nice at all, the overall mix is terrible this time guys. Sorry.
