Here's my quick assessment of various stompboxes,
couple of which I actually just sampled this past
Saturday in a store.
First off, the ElectroHarmonix Holy Grail pedal is
probably the best. I owned one and let it go for a
tank, but then I had to sell the tank (Gavin, you out
there?) and wished I still had the pedal. After
playing a few other pedals this one still stays at the
top of the heap.
The Digitech RV-2 is good. I was surprised, actually.
Not as authentic sounding for spring as the EH pedal,
but you can dial in a greater variety of
things...which doesn't make it any more or less useful
for surf, but kinda neat if you'd like to sound weird
or try other things.
The Digitech RV-3 wasn't any better sounding than the
RV-2, I'm not sure why it's there.
The first reverb that Boss put out (I forgot what
model name) sounded pretty good, but I would probably
take either the Digitech RV-2 or the EH Holy Grail
over it. I have a soft spot for Boss pedals though,
so I keep wanting to go back and try it.
I didn't know that Boss had an RV-5, I'm gonna have to
check that out.
