Both are good sounding pedals however with the rv 3 you are rather limited in fine tuning the effects.
Boss rv 2 vs rv 3.
No control over the number of repeats but its really grainy and squishy.
The rv 3 is a combination reverb and delay pedal.
Offers 4 reverb modes and 3 delay modes with delay time up to 2 000ms.
The rv 3 seems to be the one for me.
I was actually considering a dd 3 to pair with a reverb not necessarily boss as long as it had a plate setting.
Since that reverb shootout thread i ve sold the rv 2 and am kind of regrettting it.
The rv 5 is strictly a reverb pedal.
Thanks for the replies.
You have more reverb adjustments with the rv 5 but at the sacrifice of the delay function.
And the rv 3 has even longer delay times than a dd 3.
Its just a bit too digital sounding.
Combination digital reverb and delay pedal with studio quality sound.
And rv 3 can double as a dd 3 type delay.
I don t need fancy reverbs but tis a bummer there s no spring setting.
The pedal has a 1 4 inch input and two 1 4 inch outputs.
And with the tone knob pseudo analog.
I find it difficult to use the rv 3 though.
The rv 3 is a popular professional quality pedal that can produce reverb delay or both.
The boss rv 2 is a digital reverb effects pedal and i believe it was the first reverb pedal made by boss.
What could be better for me.
It offers four different high density reverb modes plus three delay modes offering delay times up to 2 000ms.
The delay is nicer on the rv 2 aswell.
It has the standard size and make up that most boss pedals do with a nine volt battery compartment and power supply jack.
Just no hold but stereo out.
