Echo / reverb / chorus / her on his
the purest analog
The connection comes down to an input and an XLR output
A jack in and 2 out A (signal + effect) and B (the effect)
5 in control:
_effet on / off
_chorus on / off
_echo on / off
_son its on / off
_feedback single repeat
I would have appreciated a control in cv and more on the feedback and the repeat rate as on the echo korg course, but was not dreaming!

UTILIZATION

Super simple is all done by ear, taking two seconds hands!
a musical instrument!

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are not themselves realists, they are super colorful and divine hot.
I use it all the sauces in general effects loop, a BAR, on synths, voices etc. ...
I love the reverb, which is where a beautiful spring made of metal and ethereal, and especially a single volume knob, so super easy to adjust (unlike a digital reverb), its always great (unlike a digital reverb ) but its always the same (unlike a digital reverb)!
I also like the echo that sounds! And which can quickly change the playback head, guaranteed. Accuracy in the last 3 settings (4/5/6) are mixes of three heads!
I almost never uses the chorus which is almost inaudible on my synth sounds, but works better with voices.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for at least 6 or 7 years. I love the absolutely inimitable sound (even with another echo box, let alone with any emulation months, which are often off the mark), his beautiful breath (light), its buttons, everything except its weight is mega heavy!
I tried to sound a Redson minus, very rotten next!
I think € 500 is still well Reuche, but once she was not moving so that kif! The right to the top!
And yes I would do without hesitation that choice (which was not one at the time, but rather an unexpected windfall!)
