need help on whats better for steel.? any suggestions
what would be better,the Space Echo RE20 or a DD3 and RV5 for steel all are made by Boss i use Nashville 400 and Nashville 112 for amps.
I'd go for RV 5 or 7.
In my opinion, a SMALL bit of reverb is essential, a LOT is atrocious, and over the last ten years, delay has been overused the way chorus was in the 80s.
Others will disagree, but I claim possession of the truth because I spoke first. (Hey! look!! A winking smiley!! It means I'm kidding/teasing)

2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

Gotta agree with Lane on this one.In my opinion, a SMALL bit of reverb is essential, a LOT is atrocious, and over the last ten years, delay has been overused the way chorus was in the 80s.

Hi Wayne, The main three reverb pedals that alot of guys on the froum here talk about are the RV-5, the Holy grail made by electro harmonix and MXR also makes a nice one too. I suggest you go to Long and McQuade in Halifax and the guys there are really good. They will let you try any pedal out that you want and they carry all three of them. Also they have good prices, final suggestion try as many out as you can before youmake a decision and judge with youre own ears becuase its you who is going to have to listen to it the most.
I am going to give this one a try next time I am at the Halifax store

and here is another one,

Hope this helps,

Quentin, to the best of my knowledge, MXR dont make a reverb pedal? I hope im wrong, but if they did then i would be very interested, as i love their build qaulity, its actually a bit of a surprise that they dont make a reverb pedal, i use the Electro Harmonix nano reverb, which i like,

Yes youre right Edward. I was mixing it up with another reverb pedal that Peewee Cahrles uses.Edward Byrne wrote:Quentin, to the best of my knowledge, MXR dont make a reverb pedal?

I know a couple of steelers that use the behringer delay pedal and never had any problems, but thanks for the heads up guys, I am going to stay away from them.
The Electro Harmonics Cathedral Stereo reverb pedal looks really cool too.

Unfortunately there are no retailers in my area for this pedal but with the great reviews it gets on the steel forum here, ya can't go wrong.
