Ordering, shipping and delivery was prompt. Really cool pedal that is extremely versatile. Would recommend highly to anyone using various back lines as this pedal offer's reverb, vibrato, bass, treble, volume & gain controls all in one device. Reverb is a little "touchy" for my sweet spot, but it eliminated having to carry an additional pedal and less is always best!

Very solidly built as per All Boss pedals. Has a good range of drive tones and EQ. I bought it more for the reverb.....As per other reviews, the reverb starts out pretty good on low settings, but as you get 1/2 way and above, it starts making wierd "Star Wars" sounds (think light sabre fight). Swooshing and popping noises. If you want a great reverb, look at the Boss 63 Reverb pedal. More expensive, but great sounding.

I've wanted a a Fender Deluxe Reverbe amp for years but never got one because, being 22 watts, they're just too loud for my living room when cranked hard enough for good overdriven tone. I'd always wished Fender would come out with a ten watt version of the Deluxe Reverbe, but fat chance right? Enter this EFX pedal from Boss. This is a pretty neat pedal if you actually need it. It's supposed to make your amp sound like a Fender Deluxe Reverbe Reissue,and IT DOES too. I play mine through either a Fender Pro Jr, or a Kustom Tube-12 and really like it. However there are some downsides. Your amp has to already sound good when played clean, i.e. the amp should not add color or alter (should be relatively hi-fi) the incoming tone; a good 8 or 10 inch speaker really helps here. Like most other things there is a learning curve, so it might take awhile to find out where all the goodies are; the sweet spots are mostly in the mid positions, though. Also, The Fender Reissue amp had some problems of its own: clicky reverb when cranked and the vibrato is a bit thumpy when it's turned up. The pedal replicates these faults. The Accutronincs tube reverb in my Peavy Classic 50 does the same thing. Also the tone controls are passive, so... therefore not the greatest, but then again, also with the Fender Reissue. In other words this pedal actually sounds like the original - warts and all. BOSS'es COSM really shines here and they didn't try to use the algorithm to "fix" anything. A shrewd decision IMHO but not likely to make everyone happy. Of course you can't plug your mike into the normal channel and your ax into the EFX channel because the FDR-1 is only one channel. The pedal switch works like this: off-bypass/on overdrive + whatever reverb and/or vibrato you have dialed in on the box. Does it do what it's supposed to? - yes but nothing more. Does it make your cheap crappy sounding amp sound good? No way, no pedal does that. Before you buy this pedal... THINK, "do I really need this?" I needed something like this and now I have a Deluxe Reverb on my own terms. Thank's BOSS.Read full review
Martin Luther King had "a dream". So do I and that is owning a 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp and one day when I have a couple thousand dollars laying around my dream will become a reality. In the meantime I was on ebay looking for a decent reverb pedal for around a 100$ and thats when I stumbled upon the Boss FDR-1. The price was right and I figured I'll humor the idea and worse case scenario i'll have to sell it myself on ebay and get something else. When the pedal arrived and I plugged it in I have got to admit I was pleasantly surprised. The pedal actually sounded great. It was no 65 Deluxe but it made the amp I was playing thru sound pretty close to the real thing. I really like the gain you can get off the pedal along with the reverb it made my tone sound huge and it even had a pretty legit vibrato, it just took me a minute to figure out how to use it. I will deifinelty be keeping this stomp box in my arsenal and would recommend it to anyone looking for that old fender sound but can't afford to go out and drop the money to buy an old fender amp.Read full review
This pedal has a lot of bang for your buck. They are going right now for a very reasonable price vs what they cost brand new (149 dollars in some stores). I bought this for a low price of 75 dollars. The pedal itself is a tank. All boss pedals are made to last. I've never broken one in my 6 years of stomping on them. The pedals features are unique. It's supposed to emulate a Fender Deluxe Reverb and does a pretty good job of it. The overdrive is tame and the reverb is bright. You can hear decay,but its great for a digital pedal. If you want the real sound go buy a spring reverb unit for 500 dollars. I kept this on my pedal board for a while and only removed it because of an annoying feature. The gain/level controls are very stiff. You can't really get a non-over-driven sound out of this pedal. It stays in that dull gray area for tone. I'd actually recommend the other Boss pedal that emulates an earlier Fender model. The tremolo on this pedal is worthless. You can't use it for live applications. You'd shut yourself down 5 minutes trying to get it right, but that's not what this pedal is really for. That's just an extra thrown in there by boss to throwback to the actual amp. Over all a decent pedal,but extremely over priced new.Read full review
