Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

RV-200 is a compact BOSS reverb pedal with 12 algorithms, from room, hall, plate, and spring sounds to Arpverb, Shimmer, Slowverb, Lo-Fi, +Delay, Modulate, Gate, and Reverse. Large controls place reverb time, pre-delay, and effect level up front, with filters, density control, and an algorithm-specific parameter adjustment for deeper shaping. Store up to 127 sounds, then use the two assignable footswitches for bypass, memory changes, hold, or performance effects such as Warp, Twist, and Fade.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Pedalboards that need both familiar room or hall reverbs and experimental ambient treatments.
  • Live use requiring stored reverb settings, assignable footswitches, and hands-on hold or performance effects.
  • Rigs expanded with TRS MIDI, an external footswitch, or an expression pedal.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • USB audio or MIDI connection to a computer; the USB port is for program updates only.
  • Players who need an AC adapter supplied with the pedal.
