The RV-200’s reverb library encourages experimentation while simultaneously preserving user-friendly features that quickly guide you toward an ideal tone for any musical scenario. Prepare to explore warm rooms, sprawling halls, springs, reverse, shimmer, and more! Time, Level, and Pre-delay controls offer rapid plug-and-play tweaks. Meanwhile, deep editing allows for pinpoint refinements using high and low filters, 5-stage density control, and a parameter knob uniquely optimized for each mode. Fortunately, the RV-200 can save up to 127 user presets, affording you room to explore the depths of reverb in all its glory.

Innovative footswitch modifiers





The RV-200’s custom footswitch parameters can be configured to activate Warp, Hold, Twist, and Fade modifiers for new dynamic twists and a more interactive reverb experience. For instance, with the Hold function assigned, pressing the RV-200’s secondary switch will sustain a sound until the footswitch is released. This functionality can create pad-like textures that pair well with volume swells and is especially useful for transitions, intros, and outros.





Studio-grade fidelity





The RV-200’s sound quality is bound to astound. Guitarists at Sweetwater report no loss of tone, along with immaculate fidelity that lets audiences and players savor every inch of reverb space. The secret of the RV-200’s class-leading quality is its laudable 96kHz sampling rate, custom DSP, hi-fi 32-bit AD/DA conversion, and 32-bit floating-point processing. The resulting sounds are truly studio-grade and ready to handle reverbs, big or small, with equal gusto.





Stereo and MIDI I/O





The RV-200 boasts impressive true stereo ins and outs, plus connectivity for MIDI, expression pedals, and select footswitches. Many of the RV-200’s functions and parameters can be mapped to a footswitch, expression pedal, or MIDI controller to enhance navigation and live dynamic control. Moreover, the RV-200 can be paired with other 200 series BOSS pedals for simultaneous memory selection across your entire chain.
