About Boss RV-500

An unparalleled fusion of power and versatility, the RV-500 Reverb Pedal is the pinnacle of Boss's innovative engineering. This state-of-the-art reverb processor is a multifaceted tool for musicians, offering an unprecedented 32-bit AD/DA conversion, 32-bit/96 kHz floating point processing, and a vast range of programmability.

The RV-500 is not just a reverb pedal, it's a comprehensive sound design platform that puts studio-grade reverb and more at your disposal. With twelve distinct modes and 21 newly engineered reverb algorithms, it provides an extensive array of textures, from subtle ambience to deep, immersive sonic landscapes.

The RV-500's high-performance DSP allows you to access a fully-featured digital delay with each reverb patch, and even run two reverb patches simultaneously. This pedal offers a wide spectrum of reverb types, from standard to advanced, including iconic Roland classics such as the SRV-2000 Reverb and RE-201 Space Echo.

The A/B Simul mode allows you to utilize two reverb patches at once, while the selectable carryover function ensures reverb tails continue with patch change or effect bypass. The powerful DSP also provides an independent digital delay with modulation for each reverb patch.

The RV-500 is equipped with a graphic LCD for real-time control options, 297 onboard patch memories, and hands-on controls. It offers selectable buffered-bypass or true-bypass operation, MIDI I/O for interfacing with MIDI control devices, and USB-MIDI for connecting to the RV-500 Editor/Librarian or a DAW.

Inside the RV-500, you'll find 21 top-tier reverb algorithms that let you shape any kind of space you can envision. Each algorithm is adjustable, from decay, density, and modulation to EQ, ducking, and more. The pedal's Dual mode provides two independent reverbs at once, allowing you to create rich, multi-range sounds.

The RV-500 exceeds industry standards for pedal-based effects with its 32-bit/96 kHz AD/DA. All internal processing is 32-bit floating point and runs at a 96 kHz sampling rate, delivering pristine sonic quality that rivals top pro studios.

The RV-500's advanced interface and intuitive operation make it easy to view and adjust the unit's deep editing parameters and advanced control features. With its freely assignable switches and extensive support for real-time control, the RV-500 offers unmatched creative expression and performance flexibility.

In summary, the RV-500 Reverb Pedal is more than just a pedal, it's a comprehensive sound design platform that offers unparalleled power, versatility, and sound quality. It's the ultimate tool for musicians seeking to explore new dimensions of time and space in their music.
