BOSS ROLAND Digital Reverb RRV-10

The BOSS RRV-10 reverb unit - Part of the classic Boss Micro-rack series which graced a huge amount of home studio's back in the 1980's. The RRV-10 featured 9 selectable reverbs (room, hall & plates), with an adjustable decay-time and a pre-equaliser to shape the reverb tone. Stereo or mono outs are on the back and the front-panel also sports controls for adjusting reverb and direct output. A simple but effective budget unit. The selectable effects are: ROOM 1 (small) ROOM 2 (large) HALL 1 (small) HALL 2 (large) PLATE 1 (small) PLATE 2 (large) MULTI-TAP 1 (delay) MULTI-TAP 2 (reverse) Gated Reverb Back in the days just before fostex brought us cheap multitrack reel to reels; cassette based portastudios or 1/2 inch 8 tracks ruled the budget home studio world. Of the common, cheap, but decent fx available at that time, we already had Rebis, who's 'rack & card' based FX system had become a common sight in many budget studios as had the similar Stdiomaster rack-range... Then there was a brand called Accessit with a cheap range of fx/proccessors too... and there were kits if you were a sparky person. Boss decided to get in on the act, which made sense as they are the budget division of Roland corporation, who were already turning out a decent range of fx & processors of their own. The Boss Micro range quickly became a firm favourite in the UK as a range of cheap but decent quality units perfect in both price and SIZE for the home studio enthusiast & smaller commercial studios. Units could be bought individualy, and a 'master rack' could be purchased to house and power a whole set. Individual units took a wall wart supply for their DC power, the optional 'rack' could have a distribution power unit to power the whole lot (RPW-7 Power unit). I think you could also get an optionable pressed steel 19" rack bay to house 2 Units at a time in a convetional 19" studio rack.
