Does anyone use EHX Holy Grail Nano?

I tried it for my guitar rig and didn't like it. But that's just me. I found the spring to be less convincing than even the Fender/Boss FRV-1 and the hall to be too noisy. Never really used the flerb much.

So no idea how they sound on bass but I wasn't a big fan of the nano for guitar. If I was looking for a nano reverb pedal and only really needed one kind of reverb, I would go with the mini-HOF from TC. Many of the tone prints are pretty amazing. I think the plate is my personal favorite.
 
Thank you guys

Actually, I interested it because I just saw Stu and Jenny (Dub trio & Warpaint) pedalboard, and they're have the holy grail nano.

And someone sell it. I will save 50% for the second hand.

Anyways, thank you for reply and sorry for my weak english skill. :P
 
Hey there

Look it's a fine reverb pedal that many people like. I wasn't one of them but whatever. The noise was the biggest drag for me.

Right around the same price is the TC Electronics Hall of Fame reverb pedal mini. The great beauty of the TC is that with the TonePrint function where you use your computer, iPhone, iPad etc to download new reverb sounds and zap them to the pedal. There are some amazing ones and they are all free.

The great downside is that on the mini you can only have one reverb sound at a time. On the bigger Hall of Fame you have a number of options and "tone print" is but one of the settings. For me the one reverb option isn't an issue as I only really use reverb for one thing but for others it can be a limitation of the mini.

I also adore how little the mini is and how little real estate on my pedal board it takes up.
