"A marvel from Boss."

Feature:
No there are no accessories included in the package. The most useful feature is its amazing sound quality and five famous reverb setting and surely its stereo outputs for brillant surronding sound. The controls knobs are very smooth and the build quality is great.

Quality:
Yes there is no doubt about the quality of Boss. It is very strong and rugged. It is clear from the fact that I have been using Boss effects for the last 23 years and they never broke away during live performances, recording and jam sessions. This is just like a stone so tough.

Value:
Here I must say that this unit is not cheap. One have to pay a lot to get this pedal. But again I must say that this pedal justified its high price tag. But if you happen to get this pedal a lot cheap then it is your sheer luck to have this amazingly beautiful sounding effect pedal and thats for sure everybody will love its sound.

Desirability:
This pedal is stong like a tank and sounds so sweet as well. The construction is also sexy and overall the sound quality is brillant. It is rather a real achievement for me to get such a worthy pedal.

Sound:
The sound of this unit is amazing. The sound quality is super,there is no background noise at all. The effects quality is very natural,rich and has got lot of depth. I personally like the Hall reverb setting and of coarse the the setting # 5 is something really astonishing. This particular setting is so beautiful while playing slow and clean sounding guitar solo lines or chords as it produces a tremolo effect as you finish the chord or plucking of a string. Oh yes certainly this is a sure and a powerful tool added up in my effects pedal collection. I think this is the one of the best reverb pedal in the market. No need to stroll around and wasting your money or time you just listen this beauty its sound superb all the way. Yes I think after buying this pedal I hardly use my amplifier reverb. It sound very balanced and effective while using with other effects but this requires some adjustments on its control panel. I mostly uses it on live and jam sessions and it just sound magnificent. I am using all Boss effect pedals with it like Delay, Phaser,Chrous essamble, Distortion and compressor. No I have no tips for its improvement as it is a completely balanced product.

Ease of Use:
I have not faced any problem with this unit as far as its sound settings is concerned. It is very simple to get your desired sound. Oh yes there is one problem and that is all its settings are so beautiful that it is really hard to choose or skip. Yes its operating manual is very detailed and also mentioned all the famous settings.

Support:
No I never had a single problem with their effect pedals for the last 23 years. I think this a enough proof regarding their reliablity.

Overall:
No I think this pedal is more than enough for me. It is a superb pedal and produces some of the most interesting reverb sounds which you ever dreamed for. It is a comprehensive addition to my sound and music requirements.

"A Good Reverb unit that's worth owning"

Feature:
This unit gives you several types of reverb. The unit also gives you the ability to change wetness & tone of each type of reverb.

Quality:
I own a few other Boss/Roland products and the quality is great. I do light traveling (once a week) with my gear. I have never encountered any problems with my other Boss/Roland products and I would guess that this unit would be no different.

Value:
This unit is a little high on price, however with the respect I have for Boss/Roland and the quality of their products, I was sold!

Desirability:
This unit is not very sexy however it did catch my eye!

Sound:
I purchased this unit about 3 weeks ago and I'm pleased with it. The quality of the reverb is excellent and you have some control over the different types of reverb that this unit has to offer. I have also used this unit for vocals on my 4 track recorder which richly enhances my vocal tracks. This unit gives me the reverb that I require and then some. Like other reviewers mentioned, the unit is a little pricey, however I
