amplifier
15% matchKeep the RV-5 in the loop for stereo, ambient reverb options beyond the Twin's own built-in spring tank.
Ampeg RB-110
Ampeg
13% matchRun the RV-5's spring reverb in the RB-110's loop, keeping the amp's gritty preamp drive separate from the ambient wash.
Mesa Boogie F-30 1x12 Combo
Mesa Boogie
12% matchThe F-30 already carries its own reverb, but the RV-5 in the loop lets you dial in a deeper, more ambient wash on top.
Traynor YCV20 Custom Valve Combo
Traynor
10% matchKeep the RV-5 in the YCV20's loop, after its own chiming, British class-A breakup, so the reverb tail stays clean.
Hartke LH1000 Bass Head
Hartke
10% matchKeep the RV-5's reverb in the LH1000's effects loop, after its own punchy, tube-warmed preamp shapes the bass tone.
