I don't know what the rv600 is, but I've been happy with the Verbzilla, and it's very useful as a reverb pedal far beyond the shimmer use.

I like the Verbzilla a lot with my two amp setup. And I also have no idea what the rv600 is?

I just got the Verbzilla last weekend and have been enjoying it thoroughly. It makes a big difference if you put it into its own signal loop and use a volume pedal to bring it into the mix. I use the Boss AB pedal, so one loop has my Digitech RP500 on it, and the other signal path just has the volume pedal and then Verbzilla. Then both signals go to the same amp (or could go to separate amps). This way you have one signal with your normal distortion chorus delay, and a separate clean signal with just the Verbzilla that you can slowly bring into a song with the volume pedal. Set to Octo and launch.

It's a killer sound and takes time to figure out how to work it in, but it adds a whole new dimension, adds a lot of new possibilities. I give it a

Behringer might be cheaper. And I hear it's decent. But all things considered, Line 6 Verbzilla.

If money isn't an option, check out the Eventide Pitchfactor.

I've had my verbzilla for 5 band practices now and every time, with my set up, the sounds I make with it make me salivate even more. Amazing, but I'd only use it with a 2-amp setup.

i usually run my verbzilla straight to the PA at 100% wet, so that instead of just adding to the guitar it can lift the entire room up.

Yeah. I run mine 100% wet, but through my Blues Jr. It doesn't get the same effect through the PA when I've done it that way.
