Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Neo
Electro-Harmonix · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Neo is the most compact version of EHX's long-running Holy Grail reverb line, offering Spring, Hall, and Room reverb modes through a single Reverb knob that blends dry and wet signal. The spring mode captures the boingy, splashy character of a real spring tank, while hall and room modes add smoother, more spacious ambience without the metallic edge cheaper digital reverbs can have. Despite its minimal single-control interface, it delivers the same core Holy Grail voicing that made the original a pedalboard staple, in the smallest possible EHX nano-style enclosure. It suits players wanting simple, reliable, good-sounding reverb without deep programming or a large footprint.
