Alesis QuadraVerb GT

He yaa little prs all the effects that the standard can be found on a multi-effects: chorus, flanger, phaser, rotary, reverb, delay, ping-pong, etc.. There is a qualisation plutt flexible and efficient (I got) and an effect of rsonateur ring.
Everything is in ditable menus accessible by buttons in DDIS faade, including a button to select the configuration eg "EQ + CHORUS + REVERB" or something.
This rack is not ditable on computer but can CONTRL through noon (to put a pdalier)
The technology is a bit old, it's numrique of 20 years ago (oh yeah ... dj) in either a 16 bit quality "CD" common.
The portion distortion / overdrive is analog transistor with a sound that can be typed quickly aggressive or cold but clean which is rev. So, we love it or dtest.
The connector in 6'35: 2 in, 2 out and a SEND and a RETURN to use it with a table or another.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is "fairly" simple if we stick to rglages fast. The difficulty is that the screen is small, and must navigate through menus and submenus that dpendent to select the effect, and play with the PAGE button and VALUE edit. So there is no easy one for a "global". But then there are 100 factory presets that Varis provide a good basis and then tweak.
The manual is clear enough, in French, but the one I was given the silent era with plutt "lightweight" and I can express myself, m me.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are good and efficaces.videmment the multis now allow better display resolutions, but RPET or concert does. Be careful though to breath (I do not know if it s mine, or is it general) but suddenly, it is far from being a top, especially if the branch is multi Live a console.Pour my part, I used it more often home to play with headphones and does it well.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 15 years, I'm pretty used to beginners, but I use it less in recent years, more like troubleshooting or to connect my electro-acoustic.
This is a MODEL of quality that is robust and that never fails. Now given the choice exists, it is sr date a bit and found the smaller multis that are the same thing with better sound quality. But I confess that it reflects an era o the beats were a little more and represented less characters of "boilerplate" trs certainly improved but, for me, have less "me" (m'enfin a notice is not forcment personal goal!).

The effects are numerous: Preamp (compression, overdrive, distortion, flat, bright, presence, bass boost, noise gate speaker simulator), reverbs, delays (ping pong, stereo, multitap), chorus, flanger, phaser, chifter pitch, detune, leslie simulator, 3-band parametric equalizer, 5 band, 11 band graphic, panning, tremolo, ring modulator, tunable resonators, sampling (a few seconds ... booof!). An effects loop in order to add something else (?). Note that you can use the two devices as Quadraverb effects by using the effects loop. Ideal for coloring a guitar and voice differently for example ...
It has two inputs, two outputs. It can be used in mono or stereo (better). One in a MIDI Through out, two made and two footswitch for effects loop. It is rack mountable in 19 "

UTILIZATION

Good configuration quite simple and user manual in French is very clear. Editing sounds is easy. It is one of 90 preset programs and is fashioned in its discretion if it does not fit. After it is stored or where it was (it loses the program works, but you can retrieve it by pressing a key) in one of the memory locations of the 10 remaining users. it is enough if one is ordered in the settings and names of programs. In any case, the manual is very well done and explains everything from A to Z better than me.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are extremely transparent and very high level for a guitarist. The reverbs are beautiful with lots of settings (it's not a Lexicon anyway!) And everyone there is something for long enough that harmonious listening. The delays are numerous and very seldom find one who does not delay its scratching among them. The chorus, flanger, pitch, leslie ... are also very good and each has all the settings that you can imagine. The EQ is at the top you can do anything with. The ring modulator and resonator can bring a touch odd to your sounds. We must learn to use it. The preamp section is a good side compressor, overdrive, flat bright presence, bass boost and noise gate. HP simulators work very well. This is not a POD, but do not forget that the Quadraverb GT is an old tool. You can always use it now anyway.
The only weak point in my opinion, is the saturation that sound too metallic. It was much mieus since. A good old Boss and it's perfect ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have an excellent effect for 13 years. Coupled with a good tube preamp, it's wonderful. We forget the distos and is plugged into the effects loop of the preamp (JMP1 Marshall for me, but with a Sansamp, a Triaxis, an Ada or another, it also does) and you're done. In addition to the MIDI, you can do what you want by setting the quadratic as a slave of twelve o'clock preamp too. It can also serve as a device for recording and can be used for any effects other than the guitar.
This is a purchase that I regret in any way and I keep it though I buy more. Great value for money and a must for the guitarist. I bought if it is to be redone.
