Thanks for all your advice on the Holy Stain. In the end I decided that reverb was the priority and bought a Holy Grail on eBay. This is now in the loop of my amp and sounds amazing. My first EHX pedal and probably won’t be the last !

There’s very little flexibility in each effect.

Thanks for the advice & review. I don’t have much time on my hands to play much guitar and find that if I have too much choice in effects settings I get no music done so the Stain should work fine by limiting my choices. The Blackstar amp I’m using is the first I’ve had where you just set up the clean & overdrive sounds & let rip – I hardly touch the controls and am having a great time with it.
I like the idea that the trem has reverb on it and will probably never use the pitch shift so am going ahead and getting one.
bob45andersonParticipantThat’s quite an endorsement for EHX pedals ! I’m in the UK and with the exchange rate where it is at the minute I’d expect to pay the same figure as your $98 in Sterling. I can actually pick up a new one for around 60 GBP (Gordon Brown Pesos) which is a bargain. I’ll definitely let you know how I get on.
bob45andersonParticipantHmm …. sounds like an interesting rig you’re running ! I think I’ll just get the Stain & try it.
