What are you using with the MB200

Post by Danny Letz »

What are you using with your MB 200.I have a MB 200 on backorder and an Eminence neo speaker on the way. I'm trying to stay light, small and easy to set up. What are you using for reverb. I'm not interested in rack mount units. I have a Boss 63 Fender reverb pedal. I bought it for shakey bandstands and haven't used it alot, but was not completely satisfied with that sound. I have a Black Box and a DD-3. Interested in mono only.

The "Wet" reverb pedal sounds real good.

Also, the old Holy Grail by electro harmonix(can't speak for the newer ones) and the digitech rv7 are all good sounding small stombox reverbs.

the new "Nano" version is much better than the original, in my opinion. The old ones were noisy, and had a really weird form factor. The new ones are small, quiet, and use a more traditional 9V power inlet. Probably the best bang for the buck - and its a good idea to keep one in the steel seat in case the reverb in your amp quits on you.

What Steve said! RP155 is a great multi-effects unit that fits in the pac-a-seat and light as a feather.

A Boss RV-3 works just fine, sitting on a bracket on the right rear leg of the steel, fasten the MB-200 to the right side of your seat, and you can control everything from the cockpit. 8) Don't get any lighter :wink:

For some reason I'm kinda drawn to the Digitech Hardwired RV 7 or maybe the Holy Grail Nano. Anyone have a problem with either of those. I noticed the Nano only has one or two reverbs. I really only use reverb and delay. I already have the dalay. I don't really need the multieffects units. I like the ones with knobs and the fewer the better.
