Nothing else comes close to the Boss RV-5 Modulate mode

The Boss RV-5 Modulate mode is king.

The Boss RV-5 Modulate mode is king.

I'll take your word for it...

Never tried the pedal.

 

[the swede]

its true.

RV-3 for the delay+plate
RV-5 for the mod mode

Dont have any of them. But its fact!

Clips? The mod on my Blue Sky v1 is probably my favorite at the moment as I can dial it in to get that perfect pad underneath my playing.

It may sound like it, but it won’t live as long. These have pretty bad build quality and many important parts (jacks etc) are prone to fail. I have a friend that loves a Behringer pedal to the extent he modded his pedal with top quality jacks, power and switching… which is kinda absurd… because he could just as well bought the original pedal.. but well… it’s pedal love. And even lousy Behringer pedals can be loved.

I’ve got both the Boss & the Behringer but not a fan of either of them for SQ reasons not build quality.

for SQ reasons not build quality

Is SQ like LSMFT?

You have to be old to know the allusion. And don't ask me why my brain went there when someone used a legitimate acronym. It's been a rough day fixing my pc after upgrading my linux desktop. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

Also, I assume SQ means sound quality.

LSMFT-----Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco. It was printed on the bottom of every pack of cigarettes.

I didn’t say that! How the hell did you manage to quote Dave in my name

Told you it's been a rough day. My brain is fried

I’ve had a couple of these plastic $25 Behringer clones. Yes they sound like the real thing but they’ve all fallen the fuck apart in short order

You’re way better off getting an Amazon special joyo/et all clone at that price point

Also, fuck Behringer despite the fact that I use and love their live sound stuff. Quite a conundrum lol

Behringer can suck a fat one.

@Orvillain, amongst all the reverbs pedals you have now, how would you rate the BlueSky, particularly in comparison to Golden?

If you're looking for reference pedals - my 2 pennies...

- Strymon Blue Sky
- UA Golden
- Boss RV-5
- MXR Reverb
- Source Audio Ventris

Those are my favourites anyway.

My bandmate has a Blue Sky, and honestly, it sounds really good. I think it is better than the BigSky in many ways. It's thicker sounding and more in your face than the Golden, at general settings rather than extreme settings. The Golden is a bit smoother sounding overall.
