Gearank Recommendation
The Boss FRV-1 63 Fender Reverb Pedal appeared in the very first edition of our recommended list for Reverb Pedals from October 2016 until October 2018 and was removed when it was out-ranked by other reverb pedals.
Overview
It is always interesting when competing guitar gear manufacturers join forces, and one such cooperation, between Roland and Fender, resulted in a compact stompbox version of Fender’s popular Fender Spring Reverb unit.
The original tube driven spring reverb effect from Fender became a staple sound in surf, rockabilly, country, blues and even grunge, now the Boss FRV-1 makes this organic sounding reverb more reliable and accessible to guitar players world wide.
Instead of having multiple modes, this pedal focuses squarely on its recreation of a ’63 Fender Reverb tank, and it does so using COSM modeling technology.
Controls for this pedal include knobs for adjusting the mix, dwell and tone.
