What Is Reverb?
Reverb emulates the natural echo that occurs because of an environment's acoustics. Think of how your guitar would sound if you plucked a note while standing in a big empty gymnasium - the RV400 can produce that sound, even if you're playing in your bedroom!

Superior Sound
The RV600 contains Behringer's Real Sound Modeling (RSM) processor and DSP technology, giving it the incredible power to make your guitar sound like you're playing in a cave, a cathedral, or even read more the outer reaches of the cosmos. With this pedal, putting studio-caliber sound in your signal chain is easier than ever before.

It's Simple!
Just twist the dedicated dial to select dead-on modeling of Ducking, Space, Cave, Tile, Echo, vintage '63 Spring, Spring, Plate, Room, Chamber and Hall reverbs. Tweak the dedicated Mix, Decay, Time and Tone controls along with the Trails On/Off switch to create reverb that is resonant, abrupt, or just plain otherworldly! The brilliant blue LED tells you when it's working while the top-quality on/off switch preserves the signal integrity in bypass mode. You can power this stomp box with a 9 V battery or a DC power supply (not included).

Value
Why settle for one species of reverb? Plug into the RV600 and bring the whole evolutionary tract along for the ride.

I believe this pedal will serve me for the foreseeable future and I would buy another one if this one crapped out on me. I could buy 3 of these things for the price of one boutique reverb pedal. I'm satisfied with this product and would give other Behringer pedals a look should the need arise.

Sound
This is my first experience with a reverb pedal. All of my other amplifiers have had built in reverb, so I can't comment on how other pedals sound as this is the only one I've used. However, I would say I really like the reverb this pedal imparts to my Blackstar HT-5. I have several other very nice amps with built in reverb and I would say this pedal compares nicely. It's a copy of the Line 6 Verbzilla and I'm impressed with the transparent sound quality and the lushness of the reverb it imparts. One really cool feature is the "space" setting which is like the "octo" setting on the Verbzilla. It's a really neat, singing reverb effect that adds very nicely to quiet ethereal parts. It's just an added bonus to a very nice pedal. I think my amps reverbs may sound slightly better, but in this application this pedal really shines for the money.

Features
Tons of reverbs to choose from, so you should have no trouble dialing in exactly what you like. I like spring, plate and hall and they are all there. The 63 spring really sounds comparable to my Cyber-Twin's reverb. My only complaint would be that the dial to select read more the reverbs is very tiny and the labeling is not really clear, so fiddling with the pedal on a dark stage could be problematic unless you pick one verb and stick with it through your entire set list. I can't think of any additional features the thing could have had, it's pretty well chock full of features.

Ease of Use
Very easy to use. I have it running in my effects loop and it's very transparent. This would have gotten a 10 had it not been for the small, hard to read verb setting nob and the silly battery compartment access (seems cheap and easy to break if you're running on batteries). One comment on the battery usage. I'm not a big pedal user (I've always used a midi interface with my Cyber-Twin and the built-in effects or my Line 6 amps effects or a multi-effects unit) but this thing sucks down the juice on batteries. I can barely run it for 30 minutes before the low battery light starts flashing. If you're going to use this thing, get an adapter or buy stock in Duracell/Energizer!

Quality
Fairly well built and seems like it would stand up to my intended usage. There are many pedals out there that are far more heavy duty than this one, so if you're planning on beating the thing up, buy something else. If you're going to turn it on and basically leave it sit near the amp, it's put together just fine. This thing is not built like a tank like some other more expensive pedals are. This is definitely a case of you get what you pay for.

Value
I don't think I would have been happier with the sound of any other pedal at this price range. Sure I could have purchased a pedal that had a "purer" tone, but this thing does everything it is supposed to quite well.

Manufacturer Support
This is N/A for me as I haven't used support yet. I bet I'd be better served by looking online for answers to questions. Again, I didn't invest a lot of money in this pedal, so any support I could get would be a welcome bonus. I couldn't select N/A, so that's why I picked "6".

The Wow Factor
Any Behringer pedal is not what I would describe as "sexy". It is a tool and is designed as such. It does not have the "style" of say a Hardwire pedal or one of the other boutique pedals with fancy colors and graphics. My equipment is a tool, so it doesn't have to look that sexy to appeal to me. An amp on the other hand better look and SOUND cool. Pedals, no big deal if they are generic or boring looking.
