Hadn't heard about it till now, it actually does sound great! It's nice to still see EHX making good new things, although imo they have too many reverbs that really aren't that different from one another.

it looks like they just added a decay knob to the normal holy grail. and replaced flerb with reverse.

So, it's a version of the Holy Grail Plus where they replaced room with plate, and flerb with reverse?

I would've kept my OG Holy Grail if not for the volume drop and all that hisssssssss. Nice to see flerb replaced with something useful like reverse tho.

They're tooting the ole analog thru thing so it should hopefully sound nicey.

On the other hand... $160 seems steep for this. They have the most random pricing. If this were like $125, I'd probably hit. Otherwise, I'll just snag a cathedral used for like $150. Derp.

And seriously!?'nsbsjsjansns fire your graphic designer, or hire one!!!!!!

Glad to see more reverbs coming out with reverse, but why does no one know how to properly demo the reverse setting?

I like how it's basically an uglier Cathedral with less tweakability, less features, no presets and no tap tempo..... and almost the same size!!!!!

I saw a demo from NAMM where they at least knew to run it *into* fuzz.

That being said, there's no "wrong" way to use any effect.

It kind of seems like they (EHX) don't care about it that much. There have been more adverts for the cheapo OD's than this, oddly.
