Dig + RV6 seems like it would be lessy fiddly, but the RV500 can do quite a lot more than both, so....

Whats more important reverb or delay? I had a RV6, I thought it was ok for subtle reverbs but pretty weak for big reverb sounds.

I'd go for the Dig combo. As much as I love reverb, delay is tops. Full featured delay>full featured reverb. IMO of course.

I have the MD500 and I don't find the menus hard to work at all so I would say RV500 all the way! Or go for another reverb with the DIG. What kinda sounds are you going for?

why the boss reverbs specifically? lots of other good reverbs out there. if there's a specific sound the boss does then that's perfect (i loved the rv3, for instance, explosions in the sky in a box).

I was thinking the same thing. Outside of the RV3 I never really vibed with any of Boss' reverbs and stuck to Digitech and others. Wondering if there is something I am missing. I am sure the RV500 probably has a good amount sounds locked in it, but their smaller reverb pedals seem pretty limiting.

RV-6 just does it for me, especially the dynamic mode. Hall and Plate aren't perfect, but I rarely use them anyway.

I've been getting back into Cocteau Twins a lot. I think that's to blame for my fickle pedal-flipping dilemma.

Should have mentioned eyeing up the VFE mobius strip. Nothing fancy, but it does dual-parallel delay. Seems like an under-the-radar pedal.

Oh the VFE looks really rad for the price! I too have been playing around with dual delays in GR5 and I just found out a cool thing you can do with it cause you can set a pre delay for the taps so you can have it smear out of sync with each other. I am not that into cocteau twins (I should tho) but I listened a bit on youtube and I hear heavily modulated delay so I get why you wanna go boss. I have heard people dig the RV5 modulation alot. Why not an RV5 plus the DIG? They are way cheaper.
