Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Nano Reverb

Everything except flerb is good!

This is the first reverb pedal i tried, i think i will be replacing it eventually because i am getting a tonemaster twin, so there will be more spring reverb than you ever need.

The pedal itself is great, the only bad thing about it is the flerb setting, which is trash)

It's just okay...

Doesn't sound one bit like my old Holy Grail. What happened????

Reverb

It does what it has to. Simple and practical. Flerb function is awesome.

it is good but not perfect

i guess the knob doesnt adjust just the effect level but also the decay, therefore you cant have a pronounced reverb sound without having a long, a bit fake and annoying, reverb.

Still it sounds good but not like an amp, i wonder if they changed something from the old nano holy grail

Trusted and great reverb pedal.

I was in search for a simple but powerful reverb pedal to shape my tone. EHX always builds great pedals in my experience that will last a long time. The Spring and Hall reverb really complimented the missing reverb on my Marshall Origin 20H. It delivers great vintage reverb to my ears. The Flerb setting might sounds weird to most people's ears but with some creative tweaking, can deliver unique sounds. Especially when it's paired with other effect pedals that add modulation.

A rival to Spring Reverb if reasonnable

A very good pedal if one remain reasonnable in the settings.

Pushed too far it sound more like a special effecte in spring mode.

This rating is for the older version of the Holy Grail.

Lush spring surf reverb

I really really like the spring reverb and that was the reason i initially bought it. It is very close to Fender-amp reverb that i prefer.Also, I like the simplicity that it has only one knob. The Hall reverb it is also nice till 12oclock setting. Flerb i do not play at all, i would prefer a Room type instead. It does not seem to affect my tone as it is true bypass

Best reverb pedal

Love this pedal!

Bought it because it's used by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker. Not disappointed.

I read in other reviews that people don't really enjoy the Hall mode, but I cannot agree. I mostly play in Hall, and if you use it before compression in bridge pickup, it sounds absolutely psychedelic! I have to agree that it is a bit weird if you turn it past 3 o'clock, but till then you have more than sufficient reverb, besides you can experiment with the obvious delay that appears if you turn the knob over 3 in Hall mode.

The power supply got me confused, initially I thought that this pedal could be only used with that specific adapter, but I'm using it with my HB Power Plant without any problems.

Small, light, many features, great sound, power adapter included - great deal!

Electro Harmonix Holy Grail

EHX Holy Grail is one of the very best reverb pedals in the market.

Pros:

- Has many possibilities of reverb tones (Spring, Hall and Flerb)

- Only has one knob and it's perfectly enough

- Especially the spring reverb has a very nice and warm tone

- It works perfectly from a subtle jazzy reverb to a full wet psychadelic reverb

Cons:

- The flerb sound is a bit strange at first, but after some practice you get more used to it's flangery mood

- Can only be used with the original power supply that comes with the pedal.

Conclusion:

Although the small size and having only one knob this pedal can turn in a verstile tool to you guitar sound.

Put it in the end of your pedal chain, plug in your guitar and discover by yourself the magical world of reverbs.
