The rv 5 had one of the greatest tail decays on spring reverb i ve heard in a pedal but the mode was ruined by the random pinging.
Boss rv 5 vs rv 6.
Spring specifically was vastly improved from rv 5 to rv 6.
Add body and depth to your core tone with standards like room hall and plate dial up swirling richness with the modulate setting or surf it up with a vintage style spring reverb.
I hear a pretty substantial jump on quality sophistication in the algorithms between the rv 3 5 and then the 6 500 the rv 500 being the new flagship of the boss pedal reverb.
If spring is at all important to you i wouldn t go rv 5 personally.
New reverbs include convincing spring reverb emulation and a high quality gate reverb plus an all new modulate mode for spacious detuned reverb sounds.
Rv 5 sounded like it played a random sample of drip while playing.
Packing the latest boss dsp and updated algorithms the rv 6 gives you eight highly musical reverb effects in one compact pedal.
