Thank you very much Sir, you just destroyed my dream to have a RV-2 (based on the fact that Mike Einziger from Incubus have one in his rig)... 😂 Just noticed after your demo that the RV-3 works better for me, and sounds better IMHO... Thanks for that great demo. 👏

[@Thallishman]

Thanks for the video-demo! Now all we need is a side-by-side with the rv-5 & rv-6 ;)
Of these 2 i find the RV-3 definitely more warmer on the plate and hall. The delay on the RV-2 is cool, its like some kind of panning-ping pong type delay.

[@PedalScience]

Yep, I need to get hold of the whole set! RV-2 has the most 'character' to me (I have had RV-5 and RV-6 in the past), RV-3 is probably my overall favorite. Thanks for your comment.

[@jenkinses8121]

On room settings they're identical. On Hall settings the RV-3 sounds denser but also more obviously digital. In delay mode the RV-2 is more limited, but sounds better. imo obviously

Hey man! Great review! I thought I wanted the RV-2, it seemed that everytime I didn't look I preferred the RV-3.
I love ur tone tho! Anything spesific you do to achieve the tone? Like strings, pre-amp, eq or whatever:P It seems so bright and "jangly" in a good way.
Thanks!

[@PedalScience]

Thanks, it's quite bright because there's no cab sim, just Tele straight to the pedals and RME Fireface. I may have used a clean boost before the pedals but I don't think so

Thanks for the video. I’ve an RV3 since 94. Always use the plate setting. Both are quiet similar in that setting I think. Does the RV2 feel similar under the fingers so to speak? In bypass mode is there any signal degradation?

[@PedalScience]

I'd say the bypass is pretty good on the RV-2. It definitely has a certain vibe to it that is cool, but can't get as deep and wet as the RV-3

[@alexandregoncalvesdesouza4443]

Nice review bro! Rv2 fx level's at maximum is similar to Rv3 in middle?

[@PedalScience]

yep that's right

[@louisantoine9576]

that knob is very important on the rv3, it can regulate the exact amount of reverb you need. In a normal band context I prefer to set the reverb balance between 9 and 11 o'clock.

[@alexandregoncalvesdesouza4443]

Thanks for your vídeo! Í bought a RV2 here in Brazil , and i'm very happy now ! I I have a TC HALL OF FAME, and í prefer RV2 12 BITS RSR!

[@nasirzack1264]

Did you use a TRS jack to get it do stereo ?

[@PedalScience]

Hi, thanks for your comment - no TRS, just mono TS jack into each, then two L/R TS (normal cables) out of each pedal.

[@AbhijitEbok]

Can I use for voice

[@PedalScience]

sure

[@the5chord]

What are these pedals going into?
Does the RV2 require 12v?

[@PedalScience]

recorded direct to audio interface (RME Fireface UCX)
9v for the RV-2

[@alexandregoncalvesdesouza4443]

Rv3 is darker?

[@PedalScience]

it can get darker with the tone knob that the RV-2 and has more bass in the reverb
