DigiTech Hardwire RV-7 Stereo Reverb

Extremely simple operation assuming basic knowledge of reverb control. Sports 7 Lexicon verb sounds including Plate, Room, Spring, Hall, Reverse, Modulated and Gated. Controls for mix level, liveliness (high freq. control of tails) and decay time. Also has an internal switch inside for true bypass on/off where control of tailing continues or not when switched off.

I've owned this pedal a few weeks now and really feel compelled to write a solid review. Very impressed with the quality of sound from a pedal version of reverb, and don't be swayed by the fact it is Digitech...they hit the nail on the head with this one. For a pedal, it's a 10. I run this through the effects loop of a Soldano Decatone with a variety of guitars including Jem77V (both Dimarzio Breed hum's and single coil), Peavey Wolfgang, and Tele. I also have a TC M-one XL processor in the loop and actually prefer the RV-7 over TC's Reverbs!! Each selection of sound does a great job at their respective functions...my personal favorite is the plate with all controls at or about 12 o'clock...a smooth decay with out coloring the dry signal at all. Similar to VanHalenII tones. That's the best description I can come up with. Whether single coil, humbucker, clean amp or driven, I urge all tone fanatics on a budget to try this.

Have not had it long enough, but feels very sturdy and heavy for a pedal.

I've been playing on and off for over 20 years. Mostly blues based rock i.e. AC/DC, Led Zep, into VH and STP styles. I favor a very simple dry tone with some occasional phaser, wah, delay and reverb. Again, I really like the uncolored driven tones with the pure tails that this product delivers. Not the mushy blurry high freq. mess that comes out of most pedal versions of reverb.

Very easy, any fool could use this. Dont need the book to get good results here.

Pretty good, maybe having Lexicon reverb effects gives it a certain mojo, but they seem to do the trick, I use this in the amps FX loop, virtually no noise when effect is switched off, no real click like you might expect from true bypass. Sounds amazing in stereo. Better than any Boss reverb pedal, and as good a smy TC electronic G-system reverb. No background noise, hiss, hum etc. Effect quality can be dialed in from extreme and pristine to subtle. No volume loss or boost when the effect is engaged - thank you Digitech

Seems well put together, too new to tell though.

Never needed any support so cant comment. However Digitech now need to make a quality Phaser in the same range!

This would certainly be a pedal that I'd replace if lost, its exactly what I was after, and a good price. Studio quality effects in a stomp box that doesnt need programming. After wasting years messing with rack type effects I've sold the lot (including the dreaded g-system) and gone back to plain old pedals, but these Digitech pedals are of superb quality so I'm not missing out on anything that a huge and complex rack setup was capable of - less time programming means more time to play, and create music.
