Boss RV-6 Reverb Demo (Including Expression Function.)

[@FlipDeRiviera]

Came for the device, stayed for those beautiful chords.

[@spottedsaint957]

Not exactly the demo I was expecting to see/hear. It was a little subdued. I was hoping to hear the drippy surf sounds of spring reverb, but was a little disappointed, however I did hear a couple of "drips" there at the end, so I have a pretty good idea of what this pedal can do. I'll be getting one soon.

[@Thunderdad974]

Right?!

[@joelwitherspoon6481]

11:53 I bought an RV-6 because of this setting. Can't get enough of that dreamy low-tone Shimmer!

This video not only made me decide to buy this pedal, but also reminded me why I play guitar. This makes me want to play and experiment so much, great video!!

[@ElsewhereGuitar]

hell yeah!...spot on

[@david.cutipa]

the shimmer mode with tone knob all the way down is some strymon/neunaber level shit

[@fredriksvard2603]

David Cutipa its super tacky

[@vinniesmyyth334]

@@fredriksvard2603 probably because you use it wrong

[@patricksoler]

Presentation is top notch. Notes to go along with the sounds. Love it.

[@RyanLutton]

thank you :)

[@benceszrogh623]

Best demo of this pedal on KZbin, I'm so glad I found you! After watching your comparison video, I bought this over the TC Hall of Fame and I'm not disappointed at all. :) Your other vids are also extremely useful, keep up the good work!

[@RyanLutton]

thanks man :) glad you're enjoying the pedal!

[@mattgilbert7347]

Same. I watched the RV-6 vs TC and chose the Boss. I am back to pick up some tips on settings :)

[@wessebren4474]

Down tone on shimmer is the best, I love that tone. Beautiful playing

[@jburdsinfuse]

Just picked it up on Reverb for $60. Boss pedals used are the best value on the market.

[@rafsnchz]

I really dig the shimmer reverb with tone turned down, it is so ... big, like sky and has that haunting and charming voice behind, so awesome and so is your playing! I really dig what you play.

[@bernardfoshage9901]

I went out and bought this pedal the following day after watching this video. So far I love it. So much versatility in one pedal. Perfect for ambiance sounds.

[@giuseppegagliardi8061]

Such a professional review! fantastico!!

[@RyanLutton]

thank you :)

[@lashlarue7924]

This honestly sounds better to my ears than many other units that cost over 3x as much. It is really really transparent and natural sounding, without lots of those artificial artifacts that the others introduce.

[@klauswhitedreamer]

... I love so much this pedal, I will never ever stop to use it ...

[@RyanLutton]

+Claudiu Cont it is great :) what is your favourite setting?

[@klauswhitedreamer]

thank you, Ryan, my favorite setting is the modulation ... :) ... but I think that every setting has its own charm, practically you can find a nice tone in every setting ... since I bought it there is no concert where I play and not to have my RV-6 with me either using electric or an acoustic guitar - and to complete the tone arsenal I also bought an analog compressor from DOD - 280 - together they sound like a dream and I can replicate guitar tones as they were made in the 60' s studios like those from The Shadows or The Ventures ! ... cheers from Transylvania !... :)

[@keithmunro1436]

First class demo and it helped me make my decision. Now have one on order.

[@RyanLutton]

hope you enjoy it! :)

[@alembicboy]

This is THE BEST review/demo of this pedal , I went out and got one after this video,...subscribed! 🤘🏻

[@RyanLutton]

Thanks a lot! appreciate it :) hope you enjoy the pedal!

[@giantessmaria]

Great demo and some sweet playing , thanks! Can never go wrong with a Boss pedal! And for the money, this thing can compete with some of the more pricy brands.

[@AlexandruCalinColodiuc]

Just bought one of these today because of you sir. Hats off. Thanks!

[@RyanLutton]

great! hope you are enjoying it :D

[@AlexandruCalinColodiuc]

To the maximum!

[@alberttandika]

Just purchase this effect and the Boss CS3 compressor made my acoustic sounds perfect..

[@RyanLutton]

I used the same two pedals on my acoustic board a while ago :)

[@gizmogearloose3391]

I think I'm gonna get me one of these! Sweet choice of chords, btw. And I thought it was just a Spring/Hall/Plate verb pedal...the Shimmer and Modulate sounds made my blood run cold...GREAT tones...Thank You!

[@RyanLutton]

thanks man :) glad you enjoyed it!

[@Faolain_]

11:39 This is really beautiful. Both your guitar playing and the shimmer reverb. I think I'll get this pedal.

[@raw_pc]

The best video I found on that pedal and I watched a ton. I ordered it today. Can't wait to explore those amazing sounds. Thank you for the detailed showcase.

[@dykeneuk]

I have one of these. I didn't realise how all the knobs interacted. Lovely review. Made me sleepy in a wonderful soothing way. Top notch.. Thanks!

[@mnemosynegates625]

Keep these great reviews up. Honestly, you make sone of the best pedal demos cn youtube.

[@RyanLutton]

+Mnemosyne Gates Thank you! comments like this always give me more motivation :)

[@BrokenCompassRecords]

i totally agree with +Mnemosyne Gates

[@RyanLutton]

cesar augusto montoya cardona thank you :) well i have lots more on the way! do you guys have any pedal suggestions? Mnemosyne Gates

[@BrokenCompassRecords]

+Ryan Lutton ohh please it wpuld be great boss rv6 vs. behringer rv600

[@RyanLutton]

cesar augusto montoya cardona great! ill add that to my list :) I still have both pedals so ill try get that out asap! thanks

[@zorroz1969]

I really enjoy in all yours reviews, especially in this one. I'm looking to purchase RV-6... keep up a excellent work!

[@RyanLutton]

thank you! I would recommend this pedal its really great :)

[@Echo_III]

+DELAY have TONE = Feedback, TIME = Delay time

[@christopherdunn974]

[@kevinmurray7025]

Don't know how or why this was on my recommended videos but im pretty glad it was :D

[@RyanLutton]

+Kevin Murray haha glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@tihomirkamenov2862]

One of the best video reviews on rv6! The effect itself is great! Only RV500 and Big Sky can beat it but for the double the price

[@Brucewaynethabadguy]

The Boss reverb is a good investment

[@RyanLutton]

Agreed! :)

[@brandonglenn794]

Dang nabbit! I was going to pass on this, despite the perfect review, until you got into the Shimmer. Then I couldn't stop thinking of the possibilities. Well played, sir, well played.

[@jasonmode5852]

Top notch presentation. Anyone who goes through the amount of work to make theses videos I respect, but this was the one that won

[@untilthefireflies]

Was looking into reverbs for the longest of times and you just sold me on this one showcasing perfectly what I'm looking for in a reverb pedal. Best presentation and pedal demos on KZbin for sure. Also, nice playing, loved the chord progressions!

[@joelwitherspoon6481]

11:54 okay, you’ve convinced me.

[@theantheme]

13:23 that space sound, wow

[@OZRIC1985]

Thank you very much for the excellent demonstration of this amazing reverb effect!!! I just bought one of these, and I'm getting ready to have lots of fun playing through it! :)

[@jugipesonen]

Really nice demo! Killer playing, cool chord progressions ;) Also I love the video. So clean and simple. Great job!

[@RyanLutton]

thank you very much! glad you enjoyed it :)

[@mathiashjorthrahbek]

Best demo i've seen so far. Great job!

[@sneezingfrog]

Best demo of this pedal I've seen. Outstanding presentation.

[@stompboxcoverband9404]

Informative, straight to the point, covers all the functions! Hats off to you sir! Keep it up. One of the best pedal reviews I've seen.

[@alvarg]

Ooo that modulate is beautiful, so atmospheric, i was literally sold on this pedal the moment it started xD. thank you for this video very helpful.

[@RyanLutton]

i love the modulate on the boss reverbs :D thanks for the comment!

[@alvarg]

what amp are you playing this on?

[@jaymentzer7220]

Best demo of this pedal out there.

[@abebabo4315]

I like the fact, you show the different knob settings. I've been trying them out on my petal, thank you.

[@fmacauliffe]

Definitely, my next pedal purchase. This thing sounds awesome.. Great demo Ryan!!

[@slimmyj461]

i think that demo riffs are beautiful! good demo bro

[@Soloentertainer]

Super Demo, Perfekt. Ich bin direkt verliebt in den Hall.

[@RockmannMusic]

Sounds better and more lush than most Reverb PlugIns in 2021

[@jeromemetierre8984]

That is how you make a demo. Bravo!

[@OutstandingBill1]

I really appreciate your emphasis on tone demonstration. Your demos really hit the mark for me. They're a good length, thorough, well-paced, good sound quality, and (from what I've seen so far) use a consistent signal chain. Just what I need to help me find my next pedal. Thanks!

[@RyanLutton]

Thanks bill :)

[@frantisekvtelensky820]

You know, guys, haters gona hate BOSS products. Like with new Metallica stuff. For me, both are still awesome! Like this RV-6. :) Great demo, man!

[@mrbaiser4133]

Great demo! A comparison of different pedals with shimmer effect would be useful! But the way The Edge uses it: With a signal splitter, two amps and a volume pedal in front of the shimmer.

[@Mark-gd5vr]

Could you just plug an expression pedal into the reverb pedal to swell itm

[@MrSkeyxc]

Ryan, You have "Really" GREAT Videos on Pedals. Thank You so much for all of your work; it makes the process of buying the right pedal so much easier. Please keep up the good work...

[@VaryRandomVideos]

Just picked one up because of this video. Excellent job!!

[@Mujcanal]

Boss delivers again, great pedal

[@johnnathancordy]

Hey Ryan! Could you explain the signal chain here? I've just got an RV6 and for me the Reverb doesn't process in stereo, say for instance you have a left and right input, the stereo field is maintained on the dry signal, but the reverb happens to fall in the center of the stereo field - your demo it appears stereo? JC

[@RyanLutton]

sure :) the signal chain in this would have been Guitar (Ibanez ART320) > possibly a boss tu3 > boss rv-6 > focusrite saffire pro 40 then into some amp sim, I'm not sure what I was using.. Interesting! the demo might sound different as the pedal is splitting the signal rather than having a stereo signal inputted, however I wouldn't have thought this would change things drastically (as the pedal is designed to output stereo either way), does your previous stereo signal come through normally with the reverb on? just the reverb that has this problem? If anyone else who is a boss expert sees this please chime in :)

[@johnnathancordy]

@@RyanLutton yeh so basically with mono input the reverb is concentrated in middle of the stereo field with stereo outs.. When using stereo inputs, the dry signal does what you'd expect, but the reverb is still concentrated in the middle of the stereo field - which it sounds like in every demo but this once so just wondered if there was a secret?!

[@RyanLutton]

haha! I'm not sure, I mean the only other bit of info would be, I hard pan L and R in every stereo demo I post. This video would be mono in > stereo out > hard panned in the DAW.. so the stereo image is very obvious, I cant think of anything else that might be different to the other demos out there

[@MichaelCozineSounds]

Your videos are incredible, so glad I found your channel. 11:40 sold me on this pedal.

[@a.jamesharding7934]

Brilliant review! Could watch and listen for hours!

[@lundsweden]

Boss is great, but consider the Digitech iStomp. It is a great pedal, in fact it can be over 40 different pedals via a iPhone interface! As this came out about 10 years ago, you need a (genuine) 30 pin to Lightening interface, but it has so many sweet Lexicon and other reverbs, plus many classic stompbox models from the archives of DOD and Digitech!

[@iantaylor917]

Love all your videos, man. You really let us hear what these pedals can do. I notice here after comparing to you DigiTech Polara video that the RV-6 spring is more of a modulation than a slapback or drip. It kinda "warbles" for lack of a better term. I had the RV-5 or maybe one more gen before that, and I could never get it to sound properly springy. Think I'll be going with the Polara this time. Thanks again! And great playing BTW

[@hankhill5409]

You deserve 100x more subs dude, this was fantastic

[@RyanLutton]

Thank you! I appreciate you saying that :)

[@SecondMarsh]

Great demo. If only all pedal videos followed suit. Thanks!

[@elonmush4793]

Superb video. Better demo than on Reverb's and Boss channel! Sadly, this pedal is overpriced I feel. A used Line 6 Verbzilla is a better bang for the buck!

[@jj339c]

They're all over priced and so is Line 6, but this one is affordable compared to most decent reverb pedals.

[@ktmad]

Thanks man, this really helped me decide in which pedal to get and i'm now very excited to receive it tomorrow. I write a mixture of melodic clean and prog/alt rock so really can't wait to get my hands on this! For everyone else I was torn between Digitech's Polara and TC Electronic's Hall of Fame. I didn't really considsr this pedal until thinking about dial usability/visibility, expression input and general reliability (the delay is a bonus) so after a bit more research (all within the £105-125 mark) i ended up with the RV6. Will give as much feedback as poss! Can't wait!

[@54PIRATE]

Great concise demo.just ordered one from Andertons in the UK

[@turnagec]

11:43 sound!

[@CritterKai]

Great demo. But music style is/was amazing. So relaxing. Could listen for hours.

[@varethika]

In the +delay mode time controls the speed of delay, not reverb length..

[@BroodingPeeps]

15:45 Expression pedal

[@edmundkirk4132]

Awesome sounds. Im getting this!

[@RyanLutton]

hope you enjoy it :D

[@edmundkirk4132]

+Ryan Lutton I will be getting polytune tuner, ibanez ts mini, flashback delay and rv6. Is it good enuff for home use?

[@anilyazar_]

buy another delay. trex is good one

[@savanaviolenta]

Nah,the flashback is good enough ,forget the trex

[@nuke8672]

The best reverb pedal ever (atleast for me) proved by this video

[@trilingual]

Well done! Super demonstration--thanks!

[@danielkeville8869]

Personally, the dynamic reverb effect screams the band London Grammar. Thanks for the video you did an excellent job :)

[@marmaladebrah]

man your playing is epic!

[@RyanLutton]

thank you! I appreciate the comment :)

[@kimgaugemusic]

it's worth buying it for the delay+ mode alone - I think I've found my next pedal purchase! Great demo! just heard the modulate mode - and geezus...

[@HazeCovers]

Amazing job on pedal reviews 👍🏻

[@BlackmanTheJock]

This is soo nice! Make more of these! Do one on MXR Reverb too, pleaaase

[@RyanLutton]

Thanks :) I've got two videos on the MXR Reverb.. one in stereo one in mono.. here you go :) M300 Reverb: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGfaq6eDgceGsLs M300 Stereo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGran4yCob-NmbM

[@sudan47]

[@jhondickinson6628]

I have seen each 1 of your videos and woow I love them, you can make some songs from the demos that you play in those environments they are incredible I close my eyes and I feel that I fly in each of those little 1:24 demos woow they transport me to another great universe

[@tracyharms3548]

I was surprised when you altered the delay cycle time because your notes as to knob functions for +Delay did not include that. The correspondence between the knob setting and delay length was hard to make out because your hand was in the way. The adjustable delay period makes this pedal significantly more appealing to me. Thanks for this demo!

[@DanLeggatt]

Great demo! Just to check, when using the expression pedal, does the reverb tail decay naturally as it would with the toe position settings when you move it back to heel? or does it die off as you move to the heel position? I hope that made sense haha. Cheers.

[@chadfolzenlogel8739]

Well, now I have to order one of these.

[@savanaviolenta]

Dynamic mode is great for vocals to cut trough in the mix.

[@elbow4lyfe767]

Now I'm kinda jealous on youuuu hahahha. Btw, you're the best! Keep it up mate

[@Ricca267]

i'm in love

[@mattgilbert7347]

An excellent pedal and demo.

[@phanford5731]

Just ordered one of these from musicians friend 2 days ago and can't wait for it to arrive. Do you ever use this with a digital delay as well or do you find no need for a delay with this pedal. Thanks.

[@RyanLutton]

depends really :) If i am using a delay ill dial this back a lot.. but if not then I usually have the set quite high.. this all most of the new reverb pedals really sound great when over used in my opinion.. you can create a whole ethereal tone just using this pedal!

[@mattiarefi5849]

Best demos on KZbin for sure! Which one would you recommend, Rv6 or Verbzilla?

[@stephenpirie8900]

As usual, fantastic demonstration! Now, my choice is Keeley, Digitech or Boss. All good. All the same price.

[@MuriMorello]

cool man. if u have a time maybe try to demoing the expression exploring more the changes in the expression. like, stay more in each possible and perceptible setting before you open it all

[@RyanLutton]

sure thing man :) I'm working on a video of the functions of the DD-7 with an expression so ill film an RV-6 one too!

[@MuriMorello]

Cool thanks, much appreciated

[@charliemitsios9251]

Awesome Demo. Thanks.

[@Yexmann88]

Hey I have a Dunlop VP XL And this Reverb, I has wondering how do I plug in the cables to use the EXP function. Thanks

[@RyanLutton]

I think you just need a Stereo cable running from the expression output on whatever pedal you have to the expression input on the Dunlop.. I'm not sure though I've not used it before :) needs to be a stereo cable though

[@tonybaz287]

Thank you for the demonstration, very well done. I noticed you used Port A for the demo. I have the same pedal, I noticed that Port B is a bit different sound, more syntactic and wet, I appreciate if you can elaborate more on port B.

[@RyanLutton]

Glad you liked the video :) Sure! if you plug your guitar into port B (while there is no input in port A) the pedal will only output the reverb effect signal it will not blend in your original signal. This is called "Kill Dry." I find this mostly useful in recording, if you record both the dry signal and reverb signal separately then you have greater control over the tracks in post. (you can lower the reverb volume but keep the dry signal loud or the opposite.) If they are blended together you are stuck with the mix of reverb you set on the pedal at time of recording. Nice little hidden feature for Boss to include! Hope this helps!

[@victorsimon7312]

awesome videos man

[@RyanLutton]

thank you

[@alvaronelson]

Ryan, what do you think about RV-6 in comparison with Polara and Supernatural? In your opinion, the possibility of the Boss expression pedal is a great vantage?

[@tirsof.peraltav.6364]

Álvaro Nelson hola! Tuve una busqueda extensa de unos pedales reverb. Empecé con un hof 1, tuve un verbzilla, un Supernatural tambien. En la actualidad uso los Tc electronic Arena y Hof 2, y el rv6 para acústica. El rv6 tiene buena calidad de sonido, en el estereo se queda un poco corto. El Supernatural tiene mucha latencia (retraso entre presets), y la mayoria de sus presets son coloreados con efectos mod. Yo prefiero un sonido natural, y yo mismo añado la modulación manualmente. Hasta ahora, a mi gusto los tc electronics tienen muy buen realismo y delicadeza. Los recomiendo sobre los digitech. El rv6 es muy bueno tambien, el unico contra es el stereo, no es amplio y real. 👌saludos!

[@garethbowen7128]

Excellent! Helped me out with buying one like the trainers n all maybe a review in order ???

Great video. Thank you.

thank you :)

[@bbuteo]

im confused...lol you dont have your expression pedal connected and its working? is that a volume pedal after the effect? oh wait i can see it at 16:40...sorry lol well done...does it work with the shimmer as well?(by screen isnt to bright) i could erased the msg but like this is more real, cheers from Portugal, great demo

[@antonellovanni]

Great! Bought it!
