EHX Holy Grail Nano for shoegazey vocals?

Post by Redwood Cephalopod »

I want something cheap, simple and solid-sounding for shoegazey vocal reverb.Will this do the trick? I've seen the EHX demo of it on Youtube, but dude is more doing straightforward pop vocal stuff.

I use my reg holy Grail from time to time on vocals when I'm messing around. Works great. I use it in conjunction with delay to give me some sweet wooden shjips style vocals.

Fuck yeah. WOODEN SHJIPS. Love that Moon Duo too. And Purling Hiss (another band on Holy Mountain.) And hell, the movie Holy Mountain too.

we've been using the Tech 21 RVB on vocals. its sounds fucking rad. u can find the old one w/o trails for under or around $100, sometimes even brand new....for some reason I thought the HG was like s $50 pedal, didnt realize it was more like $120.

I've used the Holy grail on almost every vocalmix I've made the past 2 years. It's the best reverb I have, really don't like the plug-in ones that I've worked with. I might have to buy another one just so i can use one live, don't want to snatch the one I have off my board.
