Critic Reviews

Holy Grail Plus Reverb Review: The Holy Grail Plus is a great effect - it'll greatly... | Electro-Harmonix | Guitar Effects | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

ultimate-guitar.com

The Electro-Harmonix XO Holy Grail Plus earns high marks for its intuitive ease of use and exceptional sound quality, offering a versatile reverb experience with its blend, amount, and reverb controls. While the pedal shines with its broad tonal range and true bypass, adding reverb without noise, its durability is questioned due to a power adapter issue leading to a failure during a gig. Despite this, the pedal’s impact on sound quality, especially for pedal steel guitars, is praised. Overall, the Holy Grail Plus is recommended for its sound enhancement capabilities, albeit with a caution on reliability.

Alex Turner uses the Electro Harmonix XO Holy Grail Plus Variable Reverb Pedal on his pedalboard during the Arctic Monkey's 2009 - 2010 “Humbug” tour. The Pedal was first seen on his board at some point during the bands second tour as Alex added it to his board, then used it for the recording of their 3rd album. After this tour Turner removed the pedal from his board, the pedal is still seen sitting atop of his Magnatone 410 during the “Suck It and See” and “AM” tours, most likely always on.

The Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Teverb features spring, hall, and flerb reverbs. Also the pedal features a graceful room reverb and a multifunction control that lets you control decay, damping and modulation speed. Turner used reverb on most songs he records, as most artists do to creat ambiance and expand the sounds of his guitar tones.

Pictured, Alex Turner can be seen using the Holy Grail during a show during the “Humbug” tour. The pedal is seen above Alex’s Coopersonic Valveslapper distortion pedal and next to his Tubescreamer.

Holy grail plus can be seen at 4:19 in the pedalboard breakdown. Used for the swampier Reverb tones whilst the flint is used for the more subtle Reverb. - The previous submission of the holy grail Max can be deleted as it’s incorrect. The holy grail plus is the replacement for the original holy grail.

Although my live rig is fairly stripped down and conservative, I am a big fan of using any pedal whatsoever to help find a sound in the studio. I’ve previously used a Death By Audio Robot, Electroharmonix POG2, EHX Holy Grail Plus, and Boss RC-20 XL for various sounds.
