Behringer RV600 Reverb Machine: anyone tried?

mikespe · May 15th, 2008, 09:48 PM

Has anyone tried the Behringer RV600 Reverb Machine? I believe it's only available in Europe however a couple eBay sellers have it. It looks promising and from what I read it might actually be true bypass. I have a Behringer Virtualizer Pro rack mount that has a few usable reverb effects. But I would like a pedal instead. I have heard too many horror stories on the Holy Grail and I don't want or need expensive gear. I am considering the Digitech Digiverb as well...but this Behringer has many more settings to play with!

You would probably do better with the Digitech

I had the Behringer Reverb pedal that is available in the States. The casing is a very lightweight plastic and the selector knob for the various reverb styles has no detents; you just spin it and listen for the tone to change.

The physical quality was poor.

The reverb quality was ok. It did an ok job.

I paid $25 USD on ebay and $7 USD shipping. It was worth more than what I paid.

I use a Marshall Reflector now and I love it. If you are going to use the Behringer at home and pamper it, you should enjoy it without worries.

I guess We all want as myself included Behringer pedals to sound great for the price, they come close but lack one small bit of Voodoo and Mojo to keep them on the pedal board.
I have a TO800 Vintage distortion it works better than I exspected but lacks something, single coils and Mini Buckers sound good but Full blown Humbuckers sound dull and flat.

I understand what you mean. But it seems Behringer has been improving over the past year or so as technology improves. I like many of their rack units and even the V-Amp is very usable if time is spent tweaking it. I know that you usually get what you pay for but I have been wrong many times in this regard. Rondo Guitars are the first to come to mind. I don't need a professional level reverb...and quite honestly, wouldn't pay that much unless I was making money with my music. Then it's an investment...right now for me it's a hobby and my four walls are my audience. Plus like you said it depends on your rig too...even expensive pedals like the Holy Grail have had many bad reviews and yet other's swear by them...

I plan on getting a Blues Jr. in the future and I know it's built in "real" reverb will sound much better.

Thanks

I'm really GASing for that reverb (the Behringer one :P). It should sell about 45 euros, as well as the new delay (Echo Park clone)

I haven't heard the Reverb Machine pedal, but I did buy their Echo Machine one and as someone noted, the lack of detents is a bit of a pain. However, since I just play at home, it's not really a problem and was 1/4 the price of the Line 6 pedal it's copying...

I use this http://www.behringer.com/DR400/index.cfm?lang=ENG and I like it, changing the battery's a ***** so I use an adapter.

guit30 · May 30th, 2008, 06:52 PM

The ones with higher numbers 200,400,600 work better

I saw that one but I wasn't sure about having my delay AND reverb on one peal. Are you able to get some good sounds out of this pedal?

Thanks

mikespe · June 1st, 2008, 01:44 PM

Well I finally found a thorough review of this pedal and it looks like Behringer has improved. From what I read here this pedal sounds great and is sturdier than past Behringer pedals. I think I will get this pedal and I'll post a review when I get to play with it.

DWBH · July 25th, 2008, 10:18 AM

mikespe have you had the opportunity to buy, or at least try it out?

No I haven't. Ever since I got my Blues Jr. I have used the reverb on that. However, I would like to try this pedal out BUT I saw and heard the new Digitech Hardwire Reverb pedal and it sounds SWEET! But it is $150!

guit30 · July 26th, 2008, 11:42 PM

I thought the Behr rv100 was lousy, but I find that the higher numbers are better.
The best behringer pedal that I have tried is the CL9 compressor, red with a blue led(copy of Ibanez d/ced comp- sounds great
