Twelve Distinctive Reverbs

From essentials like Room and Hall to deeply immersive reverbs like Shimmer, Slowverb, and the cool new Arpverb, the RV-200 gives you the ambient colours you need for every song and style.

Room - Simulates the reverberation characteristics of a small room. Select from four room sizes with the Param knob.
Hall - Simulates the reverberation characteristics of a concert hall. Select from three hall sizes with the Param knob.
Plate - Simulates the reverberation characteristics of a studio plate reverb. Balance the high and low damping of the reverb with the Param knob.
Spring - Simulates the distinctive sound of the hardware spring reverb effect found in guitar amplifiers. Select the number of springs with the Param knob.
Shimmer - Creates long, dreamlike reverberations rich in harmonic content. Adjust the harmonic character and diffusion with the Param knob.
Arpverb - A newly developed BOSS reverb that creates an arpeggio type of sound with evocative pitch-shifted tails. Use the Param knob to adjust the attack of the arpeggio sound.
Slowverb - A sweet ambient reverb with gentle attack and soft harmonics. Param adjusts the amount of direct sound blended with the reverb, allowing you to create deep, immersive tones.
Modulate - Adds a modulation effect to a rich hall reverb sound. Adjust the modulation depth with the Param knob.
+Delay - Combines a delay with reverb, with the length of both effects controlled with the Time knob. Use the Param knob to adjust the delay level.
Lo-Fi - A specialty reverb with limited bandwidth and added distortion. Adjust the distortion amount with the Param knob.
Gate - A distinctive reverb effect that abruptly cuts off the reverb tail. Use the Param knob to control the timing of the gate effect.
Reverse - Plays the reverb sound in reverse. Adjust the high-frequency character with the Param knob.
