Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano Reverb Pedal Review

[CoreyT]

With a PRS 513.
Pretty good sounding 'verb pedal.
It does the "surf" thing pretty well too.

I loved the original version when they first came out. I thought they sounded really natural. Haven't heard the new mini. I was kicking around getting a TC HOF mini or one of these for my rig. I need a small footprint.

FWIW, I have the HOF mini and it's fantastic. I don't really use the toneprint feature, but as just a no frills single knob reverb pedal, it does a great job! The stock sound is really nice as well, whether for just general reverb or big ambient type sounds. For the price, I haven't found any thing that can compare.

Best pedal reverb, ever. I've had mine for about 3 years and it will be the last piece of gear I ever part with... that includes guitars too.

I have had an EH Holy Grail Plus for about 1.5 years now - I use it in the "spring" setting and can get it to sound exactly like the spring / tank reverb in a fender amp. Will never get rid of it.

I have the nano, great spring reverb sounds

I had the big Holy Grail for a short time. It sounded awesome, but was noisy as hell.

I recently found that I get a bad hum from mine if I try chaining it off the power output on my boss tuner pedal but is noise free on my voodoo pp2+

I am considering getting the Holy Grail or one that's called Wampler Faux Spring Reverb Pedal, since it is supposed to be really good according to this site: http://www.guitarsreport.com/best-reverb-pedal/ What do you guys think, which should I choose? To be honest I've not used a reverb pedal before, so my knowledge is limited on what's good.

See my earlier post in this thread on the Holy Grail - My opinion has not changed with the passage of time. Still a great pedal. Unfortunately cannot speak to the Wampler.
