In my setup, I use both the QV2 and a Lexicon MPX1 and even in that situation, the Quadraverb 2 doesn't disappoint. The reverb is sufficiently lush and soft, although indeed a bit metallic at times, if you feed it sharp sounds (like digital synths).
That's the rig I've used for about 17 years now, a Q2 in the effects loop of a Marshall JMP-1 preamp. Great, lush sounds, if properly adjusted. Convenient when you can run up to 8 effects at once! Saves space on the floor. No compression, though. Min
This rack is wonderful, I would recommend always using an FX loop with this, or a Main In. I run this quadraverb PLUS with my strymon timeline into the fx loop of my AXE FX 2, it sounds amazing. through an amp it'd sound good but it'd be way better w
