Having said that one of my recent tunes was likened to Coldplay or Snow Patrol, so maybe I should get the RV-6...
Touche
The rv5 modulated mode may be my favourite reverb sound, so much so that I can't tell you much else about the pedal.
The Rv6 is brighter generally but that's why the tone knob is there, which makes the shimmer useable as well I might add as it's voiced too harshly otherwise.
I use both for acoustic ambient sounds, adding depth and texture, and would be happy with one or the other, however both is better (and still cheaper than buying the so called big brands that can only give you one sound at a time)

Maybe mines broken as I can 'wash out' my sound with the best of them
RV6 is the first stand alone Reverb I've tried and bought.
Always had MFX with Reverb or used the ones on my old amps.
Prefer the RV6 to any of those to be honest.
If I see a second hand RV5 I might be tempted to give it a go.
Cheers
I was hoping the RV would have a reverse setting but was nevertheless impressed by it nonetheless, Apart from the extra options it gives me over the FRV, I found like it's rather dark tone. The 'Shimmer' (or whatever they call it on the RV-5) is quite nice for some tunes, not too subtle but also not horribly wobbly either.
I've been experimenting with some of the other options apart from the 'Spring' model that I usually use - although it doesn't come close to the FRV-1 for that, I think in the context of the general noise I make, it's not too terrible a shortfall.
