The Steel Guitar Forum

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)

Gotta agree with Lane on this one.

The dual pedal is nice for some things but it's really a different animal. If you can find a used RV-3, it has the basic effects of both the RV-5 and DD-3 in one pedal. Otherwise, I think you would like the dedicated individual units best.

well coming from 3 well respected forum members here.you made up my mind for me.thanks a heap guys for your advice.i will be giving your suggestions a try.

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

Hope this helps,

Hi. New guy here but my two cents: I've owned three different Behringer devices over the past four years. All of them malfunctioned in less than a year. I stay away from them. TC Electronic stuff has always sounded good AND held up.

We've had threads about Behringer before. Cheaply made clones of good gear.
I'd buy a tuner...

Hey.Peter and Lane this is the great thing about a forum like this it gives you a heads up on the not so good stuff.and i was actually thinking on looking into that make you guys saved me the time and money. .so this is good to know.for this old guy here and thanks for every ones help here.

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.

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.
