The Holy Grail Plus picks up where
the Holy Grail Neo left off and adds
a Reverse mode as well as Blend and
Time knobs. This allows you to dial in
a wider range of reverb sounds than
you can with the single blend knob.
You still have the core EHX reverb
tone, but it’s been expanded upon,
while still in a compact and easy to
use design. The Holy Grail Plus has
traditional Spring and Hall modes,
but instead of Plate or Reverse, it
offers Room and Flerb settings for

Max, it has a Blend knob and an
Amount knob, giving more flexibility
over the reverb sound. If you dig the

out if you prefer Room and Flerb or
Plate and Reverse, and pick one—or
just get them both.
