This is a fantastic reverb pedal! Small footprint and a big sound. It has spring, hall, plate, and reverse reverb setting. I bought this because of the plate reverb, not available on previous incarnations of the Holy Grail. Plate setting boasts a full 30 seconds of 'hang time' when the time control is dimed. It sounds amazing. I find myself using the spring setting quite a bit as well. Also sounds amazing. The hall setting is great, can take you from a smallish space to a massive cavern. I didn't think I'd use the reverse too much when I bought it, but it is definitely fun to mess around with. Much more useable than I anticipated. The interface is simple and quiet, very user friendly, and the sounds are top quality. If I lost this pedal I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I play a Tele and a Strat through a 5F1 tweed champ clone. I also own an Alesis Microverb rack unit, which is also great, but wouldn't work with the champ clone. No problems using the Holy Grail Max on the front end of the this amp. The HGM is much simpler, easier to manipulate on the fly, and I daresay has better reverb sounds than Microverb. In the future I will likely be using the HGM live due to simplicity and sounds, with the Microverb reserved for recording. If you need a simple reverb with powerful sounds, this one should be at the top of your list....Read full review
This pedal is awesome! I did a lot of research online & at guitar shops before deciding to buy this one. It is very versatile & has great sound. I like to play surf music & other twangy stuff & this pedal definitly delivers. I tried the Boss Fender Legend series reverb pedals but they didn't have enough reverb. The Holy Grail Plus has as much reverb as anyone could want. It also does beautiful subtle effects. I had to find a power supply for Australian points which was easy & probably better as the one I found from Jaycar was smaller than the one supplied. My only complaint is it doesn't have 9V battery option.
I already have the EHX Cathedral(and love it) and wanted something that could capture a little of what the Cathedral could do in a compact pedal. I watched reviews on it and decided that I would try it out. Likes: True bypass! The price is decent for what it is, but it's a nice pedal and it's not free. Worth the price though! It can give verbs from very subtle to over the top and sometimes wacky with the Flerb setting. The 3 knobs on the Holy Grail Plus give you more room to tweak and experiment compared to the Nano Holy Grail. I like the Hall setting the most, and the Spring setting is very organic and very usable for someone who doesn't do much with 'effects' and doesn't want a lot of funky pedals in their chain. It's a nice, sturdy, and compact chassis. Gives you much capability, and leaves room on your pedalboard. Dislikes: Not many, but the Flerb setting is too weird for me and my style, and could be too weird for many other styles too, but that's opinion. I would've rather had them add a different and more useable setting instead, though there are 3 other useable settings on the pedal, so it's a minor point. I found out that if you have a long reverb on and you bypass it while decaying, you can re-engage the pedal and hear whatever decay was left. Hard to explain, but it may be inconveient to some. All in all, I would give the pedal a 9 out of 10. EHX seems to do things right quite often, and this is no exception. I would always watch a review/demo to make sure you know roughly what it can do. My only recommendation is that if you like what this pedal can do but want more reverb capability for your sound,(which I did because I'm a BIG reverb fan) check out the EHX Cathedral Stereo Reverb! One of my top 3 favorite pedals of all time. Go out and make music!Read full review
This little unit has all the great reverb sounds you'll ever want, even if you have "Eric Johnson ears". I've been playing guitar for 50 years, and I've heard all the great reverb units. This one does everything they can do and more. I've always felt that written reviews of an audio product were pretty useless, so let me just say.....Go try one.

I love EHX pedals! They are always simple to use and blend well with any amp, the Holy Grail Neo is no exception. The newly added Plate setting is my favourite and a much better option than the old Flerb setting available on earlier Holy Grail's. This has everything you need in a Reverb Pedal! Classic old Spring Reverb for those surf tones, Big, bright Hall reverb for ambient lushness or the Plate Reverb for a warmer studio reverb vibe. It also looks extremely cool powder coated in white! I love this little white angel!!!
