    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 😂

    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.

    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.

    • @blakesutton6371

      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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    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?

      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.

      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?

    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?
