All user reviews of 5/5 for the Yamaha REV100

1U rack housing

UTILIZATION

Über-simple use, I didn't need the user manual.

SOUND QUALITY

Not too typical YAMAHA sound
You do what you can, but for the price it's awesome!
I'd even say it's not too far from the SPX 900 and 1000
It's very easy to use..

OVERALL OPINION

I got rid of it because I didn't use it anymore.
But I would buy it again if I ever have the need.
Mainly due to its simplicity and sound.
And it's easy to find one secondhand at good prices.

Reverbs, delays, echos, chorus, flange and combos of all. 99 presets that are all adjustable by 2 knobs on front panel, plus you can get at more parameters by pushing a few buttons and can save if you want.Or use the midi interface. 16 bit A/D D/A processor with 44.1 kHZ sampling rate. Stereo in & out via 1/4" , single rack space, external power transformer.

UTILIZATION

I mainly use this for reverb, which it does well. The 2 knobs & 1 button on front give me quick access to programs , predelay & decay. The other controls knobs are input level, mix,output level. I'm not a big fan of having to read a 100 page instruction book to navigate the control of some units I've seen. I have the manual, I flipped though it once. Not really needed unless you want to use the midi controls.

SOUND QUALITY

Like I said before I only have really used the reverbs. I use this on my home stereo system to give the music more life. The reverbs are good for the price of this unit. It's not a high end Lexicon sound but does the job very well. I can't see myself ever selling it for any reason.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had this about 3 years without any problems, bought it used. It's got good reverbs & easy to use controls. I have a few other reverbs, an Alesis microverb 3 & a Lexicon Alex. This one I think is better than the Alesis , but not as good as the Lexicon. For the price the sound is very good. Unless you step up to something in the $600 & up range this one does just fine. Yamaha makes good stuff, never had problems with any of their products. You turn them on and they work.
