Sound: This pedal creates some great reverbs that are very controllable. You can go from subtle fender spring to really ambient spacey sounds without any tone loss of your original signal. The Modulation creates some dreamy textures that really take you for a ride. And true bypass is great. Feature: Simple to operate and figure out. The brightness know lets you shape the reverb to exactly how you like it. And gives you some variation that a lot of other verbs don't have. Ease of Use: 4 knobs, pretty easy. Quality: Very solid pedal. I own the DL8 also and these are big heavy pedals built to last. Never owned a Digitech product before but these seem tough and pro quality. Value: A little on the pricey side but worth it. Just as good as any boutique out there. Manufacturer Support: No support needed yet. The Wow Factor: Really adds to my tone. Thickens up the mix where needed and adds a dimension to my sound I didn't have before. Overall: solid pedal

Overall: I have a Holy Grail Plus which I really liked at first but it is noisy at times and I kind of wondered why it was so highly rated. I do home recording and I am subject to some noise in the process. One day I tried out the Hardwire RV-7 on a whim and I could not believe how quiet and rich sounding it is. I did hear it at first in stereo which is impressive but after buying it an going mono with it, I am still impressed. I think there is room for keeping the Holy Grail Plus but I think I'll be using the RV-7 pedal much more. The sounds are impressive and Lexicon quality. This one is a sleeper but a keeper!

Overall: The RV-7 is top quality, pro grade pedal. It becomes a natural part of the guitar. Even with the dials cranked up nearly full, there is nothing strange about the sound, it's very usable. Forget about the video demos out there, try it out yourself. The box comes loaded with accessories, the jacs and power hook up is precision made, and the dials work snugly.

Sound: I bought this unit to sweeten up the paino sounds on my synths...they just sounded to thin. This pedal brought my Grand Pianos to life! I could tell immediately that I had made the right choice. I will most likely leave the unit set to HALL. It not only fattens up and sweetens my piano sounds, EVERYTHING sounds more alive with the RV-7. Feature: Should have included power supply...it's like buying a printer with no printer cable. It's not like it's optional, really. Ease of Use: Very easy to understand the controls. Quality: EXCELLENT Reverbs. Value: I'd give it a 10, if the power supply were included. Overall: Barring some unforseen accident, Iexpect to own and use this product for a LONG TIME.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
