I hear a pretty substantial jump on quality sophistication in the algorithms between the rv 3 5 and then the 6 500 the rv 500 being the new flagship of the boss pedal reverb.
Boss rv 5 vs rv 6.
Rv 5 sounded like it played a random sample of drip while playing.
Add body and depth to your core tone with standards like room hall and plate dial up swirling richness with the modulate setting or surf it up with a vintage style spring reverb.
I m a total lexicon reverb junkie and i think that the rv 6 was really the first boss pedal that got anywhere close to that kind of quality.
If spring is at all important to you i wouldn t go rv 5 personally.
Spring specifically was vastly improved from rv 5 to rv 6.
A spring reverb shoot out between the boss rv 5 boss rv 6 and boss fender frv 1.
Packing the latest boss dsp and updated algorithms the rv 6 gives you eight highly musical reverb effects in one compact pedal.
