Value For Money :
Excellent
It's a pedal (pedal ??!!) specializes in reverb guitar (or other instrument it must be possible, ...). Here we swim in the all-digital, but be careful, high quality! nothing to do with the effects of the RP series "playmobil" of the same brand (excluding of course the PR 6 to 7 of this same accabit XP400). We have several types of reverb hall, arena, spring, room, flat ... a total of about 5O reverb presets! 50th preset function is a volume pedal! There is also a built-in tuner. Works by 9V.
UTILIZATION
Config not really, we select a preset and is activated, adjusts the volume with the pedal! > The effect is progressive! That's all I was looking for! 6 can also edit user presets, the palette of reverbs is huge, it's impossible to not find something! This is useful only live for quick access to favorite presets! The manual is not really necessary. Mono and stereo outputs.
SOUND QUALITY
As I said the reverbs are very high quality, all the usual types of reverbs are present; Room, Spring, Arena, Plate, Reverse Mode, Gated Mode, a mode Infinite! ... you can quickly find themselves experimenting, finding space sounds, cosmic! Yes, the reverbs are very realistic! It sounds, there are plenty of presence, as rendered it very organic! We are far from cheap digital systems, more public access, rendering very cold.
OVERALL OPINION
It'll be a few months that I use, it is essential darken it! This is a rare pedal, for sure. It is robust, ten kilometers from the chinoiserie of the brand, it is manufactured in the U.S.. Least to some, it would certainly clutter, more like a Big Muff as a Boss stompbox ... But size does not bother me. The reverbs are ultra high quality, more velvety than a RV3, or even the Holy Grail too simplistic. For cons, I can not compare to the RV5 or Holier Grail, for never tested ... What is certain: This is a reverb XP400 demanding of good quality, who can place their effects in a relevant way, the sound, especially in the disto is not drowned in a horrible mush, like a lot of reverb ... Given the products on the market, reverb pedal version, the XP 400 sets the bar high, above the Boss and Co., thanks to its optical pedal, which allows a coherent and progressive integration of the reverberation in your game ! In short, there are very few products of this quality reverb guitar pedal!
