All user reviews of 5/5 for the Boss SX-700 Studio Effects Processor

Effects available: reverbs, modulation effects (chorus / flags / phaser), Leslie simulation, 3D effect (RSS), delay. The effects are ditables through the rack, and names can be donns to patches which is very practical.

The converters are 18-bit, 16 bit effects

The effects are numriques, but the input / output analog (device dating back to 1996).

It may be in the pilot noon. The "bulk dump" can change presets with other users having the same machine by connecting the two with a cord noon. Very practical.

I put 8 / 10 only because the effects are now all have input / output to connect directly with numriques a sound card or a DTD.

UTILIZATION

Edition trs simple, and once again, the fact that the patches can be named / renamed is much more convenient than simple numros which we often forget what effect they correspond. The manual could be clearer, but you will soon arrive to operate the machine.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects sound good trs my ear. Some of course are more Russian than others, but the effect by using an auxiliary mixer and by applying the proper mix between the original sound and effect applied to it we get the trs things natural. I am often by reverbs numriques of quality because they have a ct mtallique, "chemical" with a "shhh" at the end of the train that I do not agr Able at all (means too that we have used the reverb on the whole). This is not the case with this one. I like that one does not hear the reverb, but that we will make it just that she silent when the rcoute and that removes the track "dry". This is possible with the 700 SX.

The delay is trs well. I'm less fanatic chorus Roland / Boss gnral, and this applies to the 700 SX. On the other hand phaser is trs "clean", trs transparent, it does not sound "vintage" and I like the sound (for the Phaser vintage "dirty", I have an old pedals which trs good effect ...).

One of the major intertidal mulitieffets what is its function 3d RSS baptized, who by a PROCD I think that must be related to the phase of the sound, cre an illusion of space three dimensions on two speakers. In other words, you can have the feel of a sound from above, in dssous or derrire us with two seats in front of us pregnant at an angle of 30 degrees, and height of the ear. It is striking when it works, but this is not the case every time, you really have to put in the right place preferences and use of sounds sharp enough to hear the effect. It is the same when dtour.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought the 700 SX-hand there 15 days for 220 euros. J'hsitais between the SX700, the SRV3030 Roland that I could have nine for 330 euros, and TC Electronics M300, but the quality of the SX700 and the price secondhand RSS function over me DCID and I have no regrets at all. I used it every day since, and I feel that I will rgaler with this machine.

I would do so of course the same choice today.

One regret I have not found a site / resource on which this change tips / info, or better yet send / receive patches. (If you have a tip, thank you for letting me know.)

Already old machine out in 1996.
No need to describe further cractéristiques today.
It's just an opinion compared to the multi-effects that have been around (and there were many!)
Well it is still largely the road compared to what exists today.

UTILIZATION

Config level, it has a lot of things, not so easy to set up, need to spend time there.
Edition intuitive, when we understood the philosophy.
The manual is really not that good living wage.

SOUND QUALITY

So that's where I think it competes with what is still largely out today (in the same price range of course, or about 500 Euros today)
The reverbs sound natural when you want to do an effect like "space" it competes well at home with the TC Electronic M-One-or D-Two.
I connected my 2 console aux send / return stereo, primarily for use with synths.
In varieties of effects, you can do really amazing things by spending a little time. Virtually everything is configurable.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been years (7 or 8 I forget) that I use and ja'i had the opportunity to make many comparisons, given the outcome, I'm not ready to part with it.
The quality / price ratio at the time was excellent.
What I like most is the "natural" effects and reverbs that can not be found today on the high end.

Multi effect turned the reverb, delay and some modulation.

- What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...)

That's all numrique!

In two, two OUT, two MIDI IN pedal expression, etc. ... Everything is there.

1U Rackmount

9 from the absence of an editor PC / Mac is now a standard required

Roland Manuel's (when they are Russian) ... teaching is to say, pdagogique and clear!

I in French and English ... even in English, it's simple

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?

O I t is the surprise ... old machine, I heard nothing but praise from his bargain price ... well, I'm not ... transparent reverb, no breath, effective delay (the delay is a midi sync rgal!). For the bargain price, the report qualitprix can not beat me ... because it competes with even numbers of multi-effects found nine 3X more expensive!

- Which instruments do you use?

I utlise in several config ... most effective as it is inserted into the effects loop of my sound card.

It is also effective in TRS effects loop of my amp lamp ... even if we lose in this case the efficiency of the civil RSS ... moreover bluffing!

So I use it with guitars, keyboards and bass.

I even used to put a little reverb on a sound recording directly perceived (micro => = preamp> soundcard => loop => sound card).

It rvle ultra versatile ... like a little Swiss Army knife Cheap!

- What are those you prfrez, you dtest?

The reverbs, although numrique (if not like a heavy emphasis) are trsralistes! Some algorithm enerrent rputs some plugins!

The delays are many and varied.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Sincrement, for the budget, which seeks the good, solid, clean, cheap ... is worth ... then yes, I would do without this choice hsiter
