Have the UA Golden Reverberator and it's been my main "always on" reverb for a while as it's spring reverb is one of the best I've heard (aside from real spring reverbs of course lol). Just ordered the RV-200. Excited to experiment with it. I suspect the UA will still be my go-to reverb for daily use, but the RV-200 seems like an ambient dream for sure! So it will probably go on my less practical but more fun board 😂
I would also recommend the OD-200 which has a dozen overdrives, distortions, and fuzz, which you can stack and control with MIDI. Also the Boss RC-10R looper & drum machine. They all have the same form factor and Boss is the standard.
I actually just bought a Ventris last week, I haven’t even plugged it in but I’m not sure whether to keep it or get the cheaper boss Rv-200. Damn it haha, which one would you keep?
@@masterofreality230i’d be returning it to sweetwater so I wouldn’t lose money (just the small return shipping) im thinking of keeping the Ventris tho, but the new boss pedal is so tempting
I bought the RV200 and it's beautiful. I was looking at these same pedals, and the ventris was a consideration. Once I played the boss, it's beautiful. With so many capabilities with MIDI and options for expansion. The momentary is neat too. What did you buy?
Well done video but seriously one could spend an eternity in comparison. In the end it doesn’t really matter that much live. Studio recording most are just using plug ins. So we just to choose a unit for its features that we need for live use. That’s it. Boss rv6 still works just fine for me for most live uses.
I would push back and say that’s not necessarily true. A lot of studio recordings are of guitar rigs being run just like they would live, maybe tweaked here and there. But a lot of people, if they have a fender amp with a spring reverb, they’re just putting a mic on that amp with that verb, or maybe even with a reverb pedal. I see the theoretic benefits of using a plugin for verb but most of the records I love weren’t done that way. 🤷🏻♂️
No opinion on these but i avoid Line6 across the board,.Zero customer service,my Helix FX buffer(I need to leave on for trails) cuts the lows and boosts upper mids.Yeck! All warm organic tone is lost,left with upper mids that go inside one's skull.Passing it on,expect frustration w/Line6 all around.
Boss tone sucks like crazy ! you lose all the 'punch' and attack in the note ...very thin , brittle and weedy tone..Not natural at all... what is the point in having a £500 set of custom shop pickups if they are absolutely KILLED by the poor 32 bit conversion...Had my DD-200 back on ebay within 5 mins !
The DD500 sounds way better than the DD200 plus it has true bypass. The buffer is the problem. It’s cheapo in the dd200. I made 100 dollars when I resold that went towards the Empress Echosystem. Now that is the real deal ! The buffer is amazing
Strange another comparison was done by a well known music group on UA-cam with many followers. They picked bluesky. golden, ventris rv 200 ? Still wonder if should return bluesky for a savings , or keep it Rv200 110.00 less?

I returned my rv200 because of the spring and this video confirms it to be a good call.
I was going to pull the trigger on the boss… the spring has no drip, the shimmer is over the top octaves.

Needs to be done in stereo imo.
thank you for doing this
The RV-200, MD-200 and DD-200 will be perfect for those of us with midi-capable set-ups.
My thoughts as well and I haven’t even started using midi but not having the option seems like a critical flaw of the UA pedals
I would also recommend the OD-200 which has a dozen overdrives, distortions, and fuzz, which you can stack and control with MIDI. Also the Boss RC-10R looper & drum machine. They all have the same form factor and Boss is the standard.
Ventris and the RV-200 for me, in that order. I can't afford either of them but both are nice. I liked the UA as well for regular sounds.
Great comparison, well done guys!
This is a fun channel. Kind of like The Great White North with Bob and Doug McKenzie. How’s it goin’ ay? Nice review. Thanks. I’m getting the Boss.

Get RV-200, pocket the difference, profit!
Well, you always lose a bit of cash selling. If you like surf and need a drippy verb, keep the Ventris. I would just keep it in general.

9:40 cool
You can do a shimmer type/ lots of trais in the golden, you should study the pedal before you say you cannot do it
Is it me or does the guitar sound like it’s fretting out?

My interest is totally studio.

rv200 for the win i recon... i have one so im bias
How Boss refuses to get down the "drip" sound confuses me.
The uafx needs the mix turned up more. 3 o'clock is 50/50 wet:dry for some reason
Ventris for me.
No kill dry in Rv200 absurde.... 😭
My DD-200 has it I was planning to buy this one too. But no kill dry is a real bummer…
Yes there is!
And why all this "Kill Dry"? The guitar should sound like a guitar, not like some pseudo-synthesizer..
Boss

32 bit is top of the line. sounds like an obvious case of user error
@@djangofett4879 lmao was gunna say the same thing.

What nonsense! If you set it up properly, it will sound great, you just need to know how :) ...
Funny you say that because I experience absolutely no such thing with my DD-200 😂
Eventide DSP7000 blows them out of the water !
Why would you even bring up a $1,500 rack system? Makes no sense when comparing 4 pedals @
