Features:
Multi-effects unit - Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Pitch, Flange etc. Tons of stuff in this box.

Technical Specifications:


What I liked:
The reverb is very lush and full - many options to adjust to your taste. Delays offer simple mono, stereo, echo - stereo echo - excellent! Another kick ass feature is setting the delay to lock to a MIDI tempo - then use ratios to pick delay time. Very nice since I record Keyboard parts to MIDI then sync them up at mixdown time - no need to create several patches with different delay times for different tempos.

What I didn't:
The user interface is a little tough at first but once you get the hang of it you find yourself editing away.

User Tips:
Many of the patches are ready to use as is. I'd suggest tweaking them to your application. Another BIG feature is routing - use this carefully and you make great effects - maintaining your stereo imaging and keep input signal clean thru depend on your choice of routing.
