NEWS: Boss launches Fender Reverb pedal
Neat! Here’s a cool option for those who wish they had an old school spring reverb tank to get their Hank Marvin licks sounding all authentic-like, but can’t spare the big bucks required to snag such a lusted-after piece of vintage guitar history. Fender and Boss are obviously pretty happy with their recent collaborations, the 65 Deluxe Reverb and 59 Bassman pedals, so they’ve partnered up once again with the FRV-1 Fender Reverb.
Boss Announces FRV-1 Fender Reverb Pedal
1963 Fender Spring Reverb Returns as a Modern Stompbox BOSS® and Fender® USA have collaborated to create the FRV-1, a stunning recreation of the 1963 Fender Reverb®. A staple sound of rockabilly, country, blues, surf rock and even grunge rock, this tube-driven reverb sound is now available in an affordable, rugged compact pedal.
The FRV-1 recreates the classic spring-reverb sound of the 1963 Fender Reverb via patented COSM® technology. Three classic controls for Dwell, Tone, and Mix allow players to refine their tone, adding buttery warmth or sparkling twang.
The FRV-1 is expected to be available in late July.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), guitarworld.com, Tone Deaf, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Reverbnation or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com

Doubt this will come close to a real Fender reverb unit with real tubes and real springs. :)
Matt's stupid, every review i've read from a person who's ACTUALLY owned this pedal says this is the closest you can actually get to the real thing. the only thing it won't do is make a big crash sound when you kick it – but that's a good thing =]
