Any lexicon type reverbs in a single stomp box

Ben Godard · Post by **Ben Godard** » 27 Oct 2013 8:51 pm

I am tired of lugging rack gear around. I am thinking of buying a stomp box but its hard to find what I want in a single pedal.

My rack has a Lexicom MPX1 and a TC 2292 for delay (an awesome unit) It sounds great but I want to have a single pedal that will do it for me. After all, all I need is mostly delay and reverb. (and possibly tremolo) I want to be able to make it attachable to the leg of my guitar so I don't want it to be that big. I know some guys have the Lines 6 pods mounted to their guitar but it looks a little too big for me and I don't need that many effects.

I appreciate anyone ideas

The Digitech Hardwire RV7 is Lexicon reverbs in a "stomp box" pedal. I have one and it is very good.

Does this RV7 include delay as well?

No, its just reverbs.

The RV3 is a great unit with reverb and delay and it's
stereo, so you can use it with 2 amps. Very easy to use.

Had an rv3. Not enough control of delay. You're just stuck with what they give you

Jack Stoner · Post by **Jack Stoner** » 28 Oct 2013 5:29 am

I agree, I tried the RV3 and you are stuck with what they have built in. No control over the reverb.

Also, the RV3 tends to slightly "color" the tone (lose some "body") of the steel. I tried 3 different RV3's and they all did the same. This is common with many effects units. The DD5 does not do this and the RV7 does not.

If only I could cram a Dd-3 and an RV7 into one box

fwiw, The RV3 has the "Good enough for Lloyd Green" Mojo going for it.

Jack Stoner · Post by **Jack Stoner** » 28 Oct 2013 8:45 am

Good for Lloyd. But, I don't like it and I know others that do not like it.

I would never knock Lloyd but because a "name" picker uses something does not mean its for everyone.

I think there's way more guys who like the RV3 than don't like it.
I would say maybe some players are being too picky.
Once the band starts playing having minute control over reverb doesn't really matter that much. It sounds fine.
I have never had a problem controlling the Delay time or level on the RV3.
I also run it in a parallel loop in the Stereo Steel unit so it does not color tone to any degree worth worrying about.
If there is any other pedal that is just as convenient I would surely like to try it.

Buy a Wet Reverb and forget the delay and forget the Lexicon ! Been there and done that .

Haven't used it myself, but if you're looking for a single pedal with reverb and delay, the Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master is another one to consider.

You may also want to look further into the TC Hall of Fame and HOF mini. You can edit the effect using their TonePrint Editor on the computer and soon on iPad. It appears some of their editable parameters include pre-delay and modulation delay. The HOF mini may have an appealing form factor for you.

And if you open up to the possibility of having individual delay and reverb pedals, there are obviously many more options, but the compact Mooer pedals may fit the bill for you.

MS-50G or one of the other small Zoom pedals

Oh Man I wonder why those Reverb+Delay pedals aren't wired for Stereo???
The beauty of the RV3 imho is the lush 3-dimensionality of using it in Stereo, mixed to taste with the Dry signal (in a paralell loop whenever possible, with the Mix knob wide open).

Charlie Thompson · Post by **Charlie Thompson** » 29 Oct 2013 7:55 am

Pete the Zoom IS Stereo

Pete Burak · Post by **Pete Burak** » 29 Oct 2013 8:25 am

Cool.
I meant the Z-Cat and the Earthquake Reverb-Delay pedals.

Tom Wolverton · Post by **Tom Wolverton** » 29 Oct 2013 8:33 am

Yes, stereo is wonderful. But for my situations, (loud bars), the whole stereo thing gets lost in the mix. I've found the mono approach delivers better from the bandstand. Especially with a loud band. But as they say YMMV.

Greg Cutshaw · Post by **Greg Cutshaw** » 29 Oct 2013 8:44 am

Stereo sounds great in your basement, in the studio and out on the gig in the near field where you sit. Out in the audience it's all lost in the band mix. Two speakers though are great in mono for spreading out the sound. Overall I prefer a stereo pedal that allows me the option of using it stereo or mono as needed.

Pete Burak · Post by **Pete Burak** » 29 Oct 2013 10:01 am

I love sitting in the Stereo Zone when playing with a band.
It has nothing to do with the sound in the audience.
That Stereo sound and feeling just makes me feel great about my tone and helps me to play better overall at a gig or wherever.
Sometimes there's only room for a combo amp.

TC Electronic Flashback delay is stereo in and out and has a TC2290 setting. The regular TC Hall of Fame (not the mini) is also stereo in and out.

I've got a FlashBack AND a NOVA..Seems like the Flashback, with the downloadable presets, is rigged up more for rock and roll guitar players. The NOVA shows more relation to the 2290. Both are good, quiet units. I heard Bobby Boggs playing a "ping-pong" stereo delay, but me was only using one side. Best slap-back I've ever heard, that didn't have a piece of recording tape involved.
