Both are good sounding pedals however with the rv 3 you are rather limited in fine tuning the effects.
Boss rv 2 vs rv 3.
And the rv 3 has even longer delay times than a dd 3.
Offers 4 reverb modes and 3 delay modes with delay time up to 2 000ms.
You have more reverb adjustments with the rv 5 but at the sacrifice of the delay function.
I was actually considering a dd 3 to pair with a reverb not necessarily boss as long as it had a plate setting.
The rv 5 is strictly a reverb pedal.
The rv 3 is a popular professional quality pedal that can produce reverb delay or both.
The delay is nicer on the rv 2 aswell.
The rv 3 is a combination reverb and delay pedal.
Combination digital reverb and delay pedal with studio quality sound.
Thanks for the replies.
And rv 3 can double as a dd 3 type delay.
The pedal has a 1 4 inch input and two 1 4 inch outputs.
Just no hold but stereo out.
Its just a bit too digital sounding.
The boss rv 2 is a digital reverb effects pedal and i believe it was the first reverb pedal made by boss.
I don t need fancy reverbs but tis a bummer there s no spring setting.
It offers four different high density reverb modes plus three delay modes offering delay times up to 2 000ms.
This isn t a rackable piece of gear as it is a stomp box.
I find it difficult to use the rv 3 though.
What could be better for me.
No control over the number of repeats but its really grainy and squishy.
Since that reverb shootout thread i ve sold the rv 2 and am kind of regrettting it.
Plate is ok but its not the blue sky not the rv 3 either and delay is ok but the rv 3 delay and verb is the cats meow.
The rv 3 seems to be the one for me.
