I know you guys have talked about this before, and I was following the
discussion very closly, but I need an opinion. I bought one of those
Dano Corned Beef reverb pedals and was fairly happy with it, because I
originally had no reverb. While having fun double picking some high
notes, a loud and scary screeching sound blurted out of my amp and I
don't think the pedal survived.
Anyway to make a long story short...
I want to replace it with a good quality pedal. I have been
considering buying a Holy Grail or a Digiverb. I'm kinda aiming at a
price of $100 and under. What do you guys suggest for an amatuer surf
guitarist like me?
Thanks a bunch,
Alex

I don't own either. I suggest saving up for a Fender Reberb Unit.
How about spending a little more and getting a used Fender Reverb
tank on Ebay. My drummer just got one for $250.00.

I use a Holy Grail when I don't feel like luggin' my 63 Reverb around. Plus I
like the FLERB effect on the box.

Hi Alex,
I used a Holy Grail until recently (I finally finished
building a Fender reverb unit clone), and while it has
some shortcomings, it isn't a bad pedal. Sound-wise it
gets plenty wet, but doesn't quite have the same
clarity and "drippiness" of a real tank. Even so, it's
well worth the $65 I shelled for it on ebay. I think
most non-surf guitarists (i.e. non-reverb-mongers)
tend to give it very high marks, and even quite a few
surf players seem to keep them around for a backup.

How would the boss digital pedal rank to the holy grail or the other
pedal's mentioned previous?

If you're talking about the Boss RV-3 reverb pedal, the Holy Grail
sounds WAY better in my opinion. When I use my Fender tank, the Holy
Grail is my backup. When I'm too lazy to bring the Fender, the Holy
Grail is a decent substitute and the RV-3 is the backup. The RV-3's
reverbs aren't real good sounding, especially for surf... but they'd
get you by in an emergency. This is something to consider, given the
Holy Grail's flimsy construction and sometimes flaky operation. Boss
pedals are bulletproof.
