Hey everyone, this is my first thread.
There is a RV 3 in a local pawn shop in my area, they are asking $145 (AUS) dollars for it, is it worth it? I obviously live in Australia also. Ive read alot about them and they seem really good, and ive been wanting a decent reverb/and or delay pedal for awhile now.
Opinions anyone?
Cheers, Jake |

Thanks buddy, ive already looked at that 
Pretty sure it doesent come with a box or manual, and because its in a glass cabnet i can only tell what its like from the out side, and it look near new to be honest

Prices differ around the world so it's hard to say if $145 is a good price or not.
Try going on Ebay, click "completed items" and search for RV-3. It will show you what they normally go for. |

Well i went and bought the pedal ! I talked them down 10 dollars, it didnt come with the box or manual, but its in really good condition and sounds good, i just have to get used to all its settings now it was made in November 1994, the first year boss made them, so im happy

Hi hateandwar
Very nice.
Now you will need a bigger pedal board..
It's lucky you know how to make them cheaply.

Have you tried the RV-3 at the end of the chain?
They usually fair better there. |

| I like the RV-3 a lot! Good luck with it, BTW: do you use velcro to stick your pedals to the board? |

Do you really glue your pedals to the board? |

| I think the glue hateandwar is referring to is the velcro glue... |

Thank Jebus! Sometimes I don't have a connection right in my guliver.
Can you imagine using Marine-Tex epoxy to affix pedals to a board?
One would need a saber saw & grinder to get them off & then drill out the bottom-plate screws.. Gah!
Ok, that's a bit OTT. |

| I personally don't like the RV-3 much, it had too much digital noise/hiss for my liking. Then again I am just very picky about that, or perhaps there may have been something wrong with the used one I purchased. |
