Hypothetically... Would it be possible to take a spring reverb out of one amp, and make it into something you could plug into another?  |

| I have a Digitech XP-400. It's my favorite "special effect" reverb I've ever owned. I had a TC Electronics Nova Verb, Boss RV-2, RV-3, EHX Holy Grail, and a Yamaha FX500. The only other that comes close to the Digitech is the Yamaha FX500. Both are great if you want that Slowdive-sounding reverb. |

true but in terms of solid state compact pedals, nothing comes close to the FRV-1
but you have to own a frv-1 and spend a couple days with it to know it's true prowess. it's such a great pedal. right now i'm using it as a stand alone pedal (by it's self) for when i do john mayer type stuff. you can get that SAME EXACT tone that john gets with just this one pedal, everyone who hears it when i use it says it sounds simply AMAZING! |

Yes. Fender do a stand-alone "reverb tank". About $600 though. |

I have my shiny new FRV-1 sitting next to me but unfortunately it'll be Saturday before I can give it a blast. Where should I place it? After the dirt, but before the chorus and delay. After the chorus, but before the delay? After the delay? Currently running...
TU-2 -> CS-1 -> SD-1 -> TS9DX -> DF-2 -> DS-1 -> MT-2 -> MD-2 -> HZD Boost -> NS-2 -> CE-2 -> DM-2 -> DD-3
Will be most likely dropping the TS9DX to make room for it. |

I'd personally put it after the delay... Especially as you're rolling with Analog. The repeats will never be 100% precise so the notes affected by the verb will always be very so slightly different I guess. I dont think it really matters  Wether reverbing a delayed sound or delaying a reverbed one the outcome is to close for it to matter imo. |

After everything else except the amp |

getting back to RV-3 .. i have one here , not mine...
Apart from other preferences... If I twiddle the delay time knob while I play, the sound makes some annoying pops, like a discontinuity which is not what happens on the the DM-2 or even on the DD-3. Is this a normal thing or a malfunction? Not that it's that important but sometimes I like to play with the delay time knob of my DD-3 and the transitions are normally smooth, if you know what I mean... DM-2 obviously smooth too but on the RV-3 it cracks the sound. Anyone?

The "logic" place would be after everything, at least it's the way it's used if it's an amp reverb. That's the sequence on the multi-fx pedalboards with fixed sequence too...err my ME-8B for example... the good news is - with the pedal you can try as you want :) but I would start from there.

Why so? I prefer the MIJ SD-1 I have? The tone's a lot nicer. The TS9DX makes my 345 sound 'muddy'. It played nicer with my Strat though... |

Yeah, I know your SD-1 may be better... But you know, the TS9DX was my first stompbox and I really love that warm sound... And you're going to drop it! Do you have a heart at all? 
Just kidding, mate  |

just had a chance to demo the T-Rex Room Mate and the marshall Reflector side by side....
WHAT A DIFFERENCE.... both sound and price-wise....
the Marshall was okayish but couldn't keep up with the Room Mate at all. It's only a third of the price though... |

I tested the Reflector when it came on the market. I had the chance to take it home along with the Echohead and the Regenerator. I tried it in my daily used rig and almost everything I got out of it sounded muddy and muffled. Then I tried my RV-5 again and welcomed back the high frequencies I was missing with the Marshall pedal! I don't like those three pedals. |
