BOSS PENS THE FINAL CHAPTER ON REVERB WITH THE RV-500 Just like its older brother, the DD-500, the RV-500 represents the final chapter in digital reverb with more modes and options than you’ve ever found in a stompbox reverb. The pedal starts as 12 modes, with many submodes available in each category. Players are able to edit five parameters right on the face of the pedal, with many more lurking beneath, as well as more control than we could possibly mention here. F-PEDALS GETS FUNQED UP WITH THE PUNQMONK The PunQmonk delivers a highly sensitive and dynamic envelope filter pedal with two separate ranges. The lone toggle switch on the top of the unit switches between low and high frequency ranges, while the center knob sets the filter’s trigger sensitivity. The side features an expression input for F-Pedals’s FXP expression pedal for some dynamic wah effects. WALRUS GETS BUCKWILD WITH THE IRON HORSE V2 Walrus’s original high-gain distortion box has been updated with a slew of improvements. Namely, the ranges on the knobs have been upgraded to dial in more tones at the ends of the range. The Tone control has been widened to dial in brighter tones, and the Distortion control features a smoother taper for dialing in lower-gain sounds. The Level control has also been overhauled, allowing easier unity gain discovery. ToneReport.com 21
