I sold it mainly because I had no space for it on my pedalboard and my amp at the time had reverb, but now none of my amps have reverb and I could do with using some reverb sometimes. I want a reverb that has one setting that I like, the RV7 is really good but I don't see the point in paying extra when i'm only going to use one setting and I can get something cheaper that will cover my requirements, maybe not as well, but adequately for the price.
just get a digitech digiverb then. it's practically the same pedal for much cheaper. I got one for $40 used.

There's no noise or hiss with the Behringer RV600. Been using one for about a year. Initially I was gonna replace it after a month or two but really there's no need- it's an excellent pedal.

I'm currently looking at the Marshall Echohead and the EHX Holy Grail Nano but I don't want a Digitech Hardwire RV7 (loads of functions which I won't use and too expensive, the Marshall seems to cover all it's bases too for half the price). Can anyone give me advice on these 2 or recommend anything else?
WORDS OF WARNING,,,Yes the marshall sounds awsome,,,I had 3 that I had to send back to MF,,They have major Issues with this pedal,,google it....I have had nothing but great results with the digitech x-series delay....The tape setting is the best

In the end I bought a Marshall Reflector. I went to Denmark Street to try a Behringer and the guy didn't have one so I tried the Marshall and to my ears it sounded great and it was cheap so I bought it on the spot. I've noted the issues that these pedals have had but as I bought it from a reputable dealer i'll be able to take it back to them should I have any issues.

Great choice. Loving my Reflector, really nice warm settings in the pedal. My favourite setting is probably either of the Spring modes, mix about 50% and a medium decay. Saying that, the Hall mode mix 100% + Rat = bleeding ears :twisted:
Yes.
