A timeless classic reborn.

Boss and Fender USA have collaborated to create the Boss FRV-1 pedal, a stunning recreation of the legendary '63 Fender Reverb via COSM technology. The FRV-1 puts that timeless tube-driven reverb sound under your foot in a tough, reliable compact reverb pedal.

The Fender Spring Reverb is the sound that launched the surf-music phenomenon, and is a staple of rockabilly, country, and blues. Later, it became commonplace in grunge and other modern genres. Now the same legendary sound can be had in an affordable, rugged compact guitar effect pedal.

Boss FRV-1 Fender '63 Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal Features:

• Recreates the legendary sound of the 1963 Fender Reverb via COSM technology
• Easy operation with three classic controls for Dwell, Tone, and Mix for creating sounds from buttery warmth to sparkling twang
• Cool, retro appearance
• Road-tough Boss metal construction

Watch Out

Just played this pedal and it sounds great, just like the spring reverb, all the controls are responsive to each other, lots of room for various settings. Yes it is somewhat bright at times. Yes it DOES take away from original tone, especially with overdrive which is why I didn't buy this pedal. On the clean channel it is very nice at first, then you notice the slight tone cut, then you notice the OD muddiness. I really want to like this pedal but in the end my tone is what is important to me. Maybe I would have some better luck putting it in an effect loop and letting my guitar signal be more up front like an original amp does. Overall, it sounds nice on clean, real crappy on OD. I'll just stick with my super reverb. Thanks.

I have had this pedal about a month, and find myself using it all of the time. I have always liked the spring reverb of the Fender amps and I am actually surprised that a pedal does such a wonderful job of creating that sound. It is the first reverb pedal I have liked enough to buy.

A little expensive for a reverb pedal that only features one mode? Yes, but it's such a great pedal. i used one over a friend's house and i'm gonna order one after i'm done writing this review. This will be an essential part of your sound, the pedal that is likely to always stay on in your set-up. If you don't believe me, read the reviews below. It's great to hear people rave about a non-boutique pedal.

If you saw the video demo of this pedal on youtube and you haven't bought this thing yet, what are you thinking?! Buy it, it's the best Boss pedal as of yet. It's selling out in stores cuz it's that good, i looked in three stores - they had nothing so i couldn't try it which made me feel a bit doubtful. finally i just ordered it from here and i can honestly say it's worth the gamble. BUY IT!

UPS just delivered mine today, played around with it for hours. the think i like about this pedal is that it sounds great by itself and interacts well with other pedals on the board. If you put the settings on high you can achieve a tube like distortion as with the original 1963 reverb unit. that's one of the things i really like about this pedal. You can get all kinds of tones from this pedal ranging from very clean spacial reverb to all out surf "ping" reverb. It's a great pedal, didn't know how it would turn out but it is very versatile and i'm very happy with it.
