Journey to new dimensions of time and space with the RV-500 the most powerful and versatile reverb processor BOSS has ever produced. This multifaceted creation machine features class-defying 32-bit AD/DA along with 32-bit/96 kHz floating point processing and immense programmability putting pro-level studio reverb and more at your feet.
Twelve modes and 21 newly developed reverb algorithms deliver a huge range of textures from complementary ambience to deep immersive sonic atmospheres. And thanks to the RV-500rs high-octane DSP you can access a full-featured digital delay along with every reverb patch and even run two reverb patches at once! Adding in MIDI I/O support for external footswitch/expression control and USB for connection to the free RV-500 Editor/Librarian software the RV-500 is simply the most advanced reverb pedal available bar none.
Inside the RV-500 are 21 top-quality reverb algorithms that enable you to shape any kind of space you can imagine. Each includes a massive range of adjustable parameters` from decay` density` and modulation to EQ` ducking` and more. Every algorithm has been newly developed specifically for this pedal` leveraging BOSS’s decades of expertise in advanced reverb design. On tap is everything from standards like room` hall` and plate to advanced reverbs like shimmer` non-linear` SFX` and many more. Also included are all-new recreations of the RE-201 Space Echo and SRV-2000 Digital Reverb` two revered Roland classics from the ‘70s and ‘80s.
With its powerhouse DSP engine` the RV-500 is far more than a one-effect device. To start` the pedal’s Dual mode provides two independent reverbs at once; you can feed them both with a full-range input` or with divided frequency ranges on each input to build rich` multi-range sounds. And when you employ A/B Simul mode` you can use any two RV-500 reverb patches at the same time` with your choice of series or parallel connection order and mixed or split A/B output. What’s more` each patch also includes a digital delay with a full set of parameters including modulation and EQ` plus the ability to set the reverb and delay effects for series or parallel operation on a per-patch basis.
The RV-500 features 32-bit/96 kHz AD/DA` exceeding all industry standards for pedal-based effects. All internal processing is 32-bit floating point and runs at a 96 kHz sampling rate as well` delivering pristine sonic quality that goes beyond the highest-level digital processors used in top pro studios. If you wish` you can run your analog dry tone straight through so it’s completely untouched with digital processing. You’re also able to select true-bypass or buffered-bypass operation to suit the needs of your setup.
The RV-500 is equipped with a large LCD that clearly shows the patch name` delay time` and other vital performance information. It also makes it easy to view and adjust the unit’s deep editing parameters and advanced control features. With the grab-and-go panel knobs` you have top-level access to essential parameter adjustments like pre-delay` high and low EQ` and effect level. And via USB` you can connect with the free RV-500 Editor/Librarian on your computer for remote editing` patch backup` and more.
With its freely assignable switches and extensive support for real-time control` the RV-500 delivers unmatched creative expression and performance flexibility. By default` the A` B` and TAP/CTL switches offer intuitive control for patch/bank selection and bypass` plus tap tempo and real-time adjustment of various effect parameters. If you like` the switches can be customized to access three different reverbs patches` A/B Simul mode` and other functions. MIDI I/O opens the door to even more creative possibilities` offering deep control options with advanced setups.
