    Good CHARACTERISTICS issue we are dealing with a rack simple but the minimum required to plug in good condition: Input / Output Stereo, MIDI and footswitch. No ACCS to the fuse or level inpdence adjustable ... but for the price you can not have it all.

    2 paramtres adjustable, a mix effect and a level of input / output for faade with a small notch to locate the patch and 2-band charts to see if heels.

    UTILIZATION

    The use is a MODEL of simplicity there is a bank facility with a lot of references INTERESTED patch from which one can easily find a good setup. The possibility of shipping are also against quite simple. It can affect two factors each time but not always the ones you want: o)

    He has difinitif the default of one of his great qualities: simplicity.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The noise level is low trs regardless of the chosen effect. The dynamics are good and above all it shows a certain neutrality is that it does not signal dnature departure.

    I Usage requirements for voice recording to a table but also occasionally in effects loop on a Marshall head for cumulative effect with pedals for about the results trsrussi .

    Dj I used with my Cyber ​​Twin, but also with less rsultat INTERESTED. This amp is a marvel of ct it is true ... It is therefore impractical to have a good effects loop for many Exploitatie the thing.

    The rverbs are really good but can not reproduce chos bands, the time limit trs and chorus are flexible enough to even spend prcis the drive.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The ratio quality price is really INTERESTED seen the quality sound and ease of handling. I do so much more is because in the meantime I have invested in other stuff but it's a companion terrain on which to rely.

    Especially for vocals and other instruments also so versatile trs, even when there is no place in the home studio on scne is clear.

    Obviously this is primarily a reverb rack unit, you do get some other effects to color things up. There is Delay, chorus, pitch mod, flange, leslie simulation (ok, nothing really nails the real sound except the real thing) and some special effects and harmonizer type effects. This is a digital effect, but clean and warm none the less. You cannot edit it through a computer, but it does have midi in/out. Besides the midi, you get Stereo 1/4" in and Stereo out. You can run mono also, but I recommend stereo, you get more out of the effects that way. You also get a 1/4" stereo footswitch input, which is Very! awesome. It gives you a couple of options. You can use it as a bypas…

You can run mono also, but I recommend stereo, you get more out of the effects that way. You also get a 1/4" stereo footswitch input, which is Very! awesome. It gives you a couple of options. You can use it as a bypass switch (on/off effect), a control switch when you use the leslie simulation (speed up or slow down) and you can use it as a tap tempo by tapping it, or by holding it down and playing something, of which the unit figures the tempo out accordingly. VERY COOL! Yes, it is a rack mounted unit.

    UTILIZATION

    This is a pretty simple unit to use. Most basic reverb units are. You get 100 presets and 100 user banks to save into. They give you a sheet with a total breakdown of the effects and that is very helpful, don't lose that unless you have great memory. Its nice to have nearby when using this unit live. It has two knobs on the left side that are for quick editing. They correspond to the each effect preset and have different applications for each. The manual is easy to read and has answered all of my questions so far. Again, the preset list is key.

    SOUND QUALITY

    You can find this unit for under $160 and for that price, this reverb is great! Some of the extra effects (pitch mod, harmonizers) I don't really see using that much, but they are fun sometimes and I like having them there...they might grow on me. I use this mainly in recording and I use if for everything that needs a little reverb, especially vocals. But it works great for drums, guitar, keys, you name it. They have a lot of presets already edited to work with certain instruments (pretty convenient). If I had to pick, it sounds the best on the vocals, but sometimes I use it on the whole master mix and get some pretty cool post production effects. I really don't dislike this thing on anything I have used so far. Its a reverb and it sounds good, so you really can't go wrong.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have only had this for 2 months, but I use it all the time. The best thing about this unit is how affordable it is. You really get a lot of bang for your bank. I also have to mention again the foot pedal options, I love it. So far, I can't say anything bad about it. I have used some really nice plug ins in a pro studio and some of those sounded better than this unit, but most were more expensive and overall, they didn't beat the microverb down, they were just better. I also had a yamaha REV-100 which I didn't really care for. All the plate reverbs reminded me of the song "I just died in your arms tonight," which I didn't like. In fairness, it was pretty hot stuff back in the mid 90's, but I never really liked that era for pop music.
    Overall opinion on value.... SWEET DEAL
    I would definitely buy this unit again!!
