Characteristic
1, types of effects available ...
Above all, the M3000 is a reverb and we feel that the engineers have focused on this part as the presets and settings available are numerous!
At the "big" part is added some effects of very good usable as pre-post prod.
Nothing to complain about what is the essence of this machine!
Note that the reverb effect consists of two sections, which can be useful in some cases ... To be clear, if you want to use a reverb and a phaser at the same time, we can! Each section is identical to another, but separated from the ci ... thereby to adjust each of the two effects separately ... and send them on different return, allowing to dose one and Lautre using the mixer.
We regret any time without a software editor for pc / mac because buttons are fine and the wheel, not very practical given the number of presets!
The M3000 rack format, which in addition to its hefty price tag indicates that this product is intended for good musicians for whom music is more than just a leisure Sunday afternoon!
Small penalty for editing ... 9/10
I use the m3000 mainly on vocals but is likely to go in as needed ... it is a guitar or keyboard ... that is to compress the sound or to give a little depth ...
I prefer what effects, and those that I hate?
Difficult to say the bank is so huge! Most of the time, I turn the dial to find (in the ear) the desired effect ...
The overall effect is very good ... although, I repeat, we feel that the focus is really on tour reverb ... and I confess that the first time I had this little beast in hand, I could not help but to test all effects ...
And I do not remember any bad surprises ...
Overall Opinion
I use it for more than six months ...
The advantage: its large bank and the quality of it!
Its less: the wheel that can "navigate" in the bank if laaaaaaarge!
No other model tested since I had already tested the m3000 before integrating in my home studio ...
The value for money is ... just ... in several directions: just because the effects are numerous and very good ... Professional!
Currently, you can find this unit for a price ranging from simple to double ... then, if you pay 979 euros in home studio, the price / quality ratio is very good ... if you go to a conccurent who sells more than 2000 euros ... do not buy!
With experience, I referrai this choice without any doubt ... but I will test other machines before ... this time ...
So ...
Enjoy!
UTILIZATION
Generally, we can say that the configuration is rather simple ... In my case, I use back effect on a Mackie Onyx ...
Editing is simple but requires some patience ...
This is the black spot of this device: the wheel!
When our favorite effect is in number 148, for example, from 1 ... and turns ... turning ... turning ... to achieve the effect 148 ... sometimes tedious!
The manual ... not read! Not very well and not very useful indeed!
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
Effective: yes, for sure! (Beware of "too effective")
Adaptations if you want a mega-bank with some reverb effects rab ... yes, they are suitable ...
Realistic Insofar as I never recorded in a cathedral, I can not comment on some of the effects ... or at least, their "realism" ... because it's reverbs and each place has its own acoustic ... But they are very good effects that justify the price of the machine although it does not allow any musician to offer ...
Fortunately, the brand has released models, of course, much less with presets and refining opportunities, but for reasonable prices compared to the sound quality ...
