Study-quality treatment
The RV-200 features a powerful reverb engine with class-leading sound quality, supported by custom-developed BOSS DSP, 32-bit AD/DA, 32-bit floating point processing, and a 96 kHz sampling rate. Each algorithm offers true studio quality with exceptional detail and definition from the shortest early reflections to long, flowing tails that stretch over several seconds.
Twelve distinctive reverbs
From the essentials like Room and Hall to deeply immersive reverbs like Shimmer, Slowverb and the cool new Arpverb - the RV-200 gives you the ambient colors you need for any song and style.
Room -Simulates the reverberation characteristics of a small room. Choose from four room sizes with the Param knob.
Hall -Simulates the reverberation characteristics of a concert hall. Choose from three hall sizes with the Param knob.
Plate -Simulates the reverberation characteristics of a plate reverb in a studio. Balance the high and low attenuation of the reverb with the Param knob.
Spring -Simulates the characteristic sound of the hardware spring reverb effect found in guitar amps. Select the number of springs with the Param knob.
Shimmer - Creates long, dreamy reverberations rich in harmonic content. Adjust the harmonic character and diffusion with the Param knob.
Arpverb - a newly developed BOSS reverb that creates an arpeggio sound with atmospheric pitch-shifted tails. Use the Param knob to adjust the attack of the arpeggio sound.
Slowverb - A sweet ambient reverb with a gentle attack and soft overtones. Param adjusts the amount of direct sound mixed with the reverb, allowing you to create deep, immersive tones.
Modulate Adds a modulation effect to a rich hall reverb sound. Adjust the modulation depth with the Param knob.
+Delay -Combines a delay with reverb, with the length of both effects controlled by the Time knob. Use the Param knob to adjust the delay level.
Lo-Fi -Â A specialized reverb with limited bandwidth and extra distortion. Adjust the amount of distortion with the Param knob.
Gate - a distinctive reverb effect that abruptly cuts off the reverb tail. Use the Param knob to control the timing of the gate effect.
Reverse - Plays the reverb in reverse order. Adjust the high frequency character with the Param knob.
Instant sound creation
Like all 200-series pedals, the RV-200 features a powerful yet intuitive panel that lets you realize amazing sounds with minimal effort. Along with core parameters like reverb time, effect level, and pre-delay, there are variable high and low filters for perfectly balancing the verb for your application. You also have a density control to adjust the weight of the sound, plus a parameter knob with access to several sound shaping tools unique to each type.
Expressive control over your performance
The RV-200 has memory for 127 reverbs, so your favorite setups are always ready to go. Two built-in footswitches provide great performance versatility with plenty of options to reassign their targets to suit your needs. For example, you can bypass the effect, scroll through memories, and activate a Hold function so the reverb effect continues as long as you press the switch. It's also possible to assign powerful performance effects like Warp, Twist, and Fade.
Extended operation
With expanded control options, you can integrate the RV-200 into any advanced rig. External control of a wide range of parameter targets is possible via footswitches or an expression pedal, and MIDI I/O is provided on space-saving mini TRS connectors. Via MIDI, you can chain multiple 200-series pedals together and select memories on all of them at once. You can also control many assignable functions from external MIDI controllers and devices like the ES-8 and ES-5 effects switchers.
