Opinions on SHIT reverbs
I want a couple super cheap reverbs to run my TR-727 through. Anything out there $50 or less and not Behringer?

Alesis MicroVerb, the little 1/3rd rack version, not the newer higher bit DAC Nanoverb either.
Most disgusting reverse reverb preset ever, only one control "MOAR" & grab a micro limiter while you are there, lovely bit of instant stereo squash! Drive the 727 congas hard thru the limiter!
Couple the Micro-verb w/ a cheap digi delay & a pitch shifter (Boss!?) - you got the best 'pad' generator known!

The built-in effects board of the Akai DPS-12 hard-disk recorder had the worst-sounding reverbs I've ever heard; metallic, almost like a short delay with the feedback wound up, virtually unusable.
The Digitech GSP-21 also had some pretty crap reverbs, but then I never used it on guitars as it was designed for.

I know, but worth mentioning as it might just be the thing that he's missing (and it's a very variable sound!)Soy Sos wrote:True and funny, but that's not really what he's asking for.Morley wrote:A mic and a Speaker and a Bathroom
Answering his question, I would say a Fostex Spring...now that is REALLY shit on drums.

Everyone! Thanks for all of the listings/offers. Time to start digging in

Please carry on with the discussion. Might as well include any time based digital FX. Oh, I wish I never sold my Boss PS-3

I also have a VRS 23 and i love it! Its dark and has a nice growl. Perfect as an addition for any modular!Morley wrote:If you can spend a touch more and are a bit lucky, find a Dynacord VRS23
Amazing unit. You find them a fair bit on ebay.de
I think they go for around about €100 but of course you would have to get it shipped to the US
I love mine. it's not shit though!
If your system doesn't sound good enough, you haven't spent enough

Zoom 1024 multifx if you can find one second hand is a nasty little box tricks with some real surprises tucked away inside. Like a minimum delay time of 2ms which gives you a brand new oscillator when you crank the feedback up to max.

Mine! $20 after shipping, thanks haiku-ish. I'm eager to find out how this thing responds when fed back into itself. Reviews from Harmony Central declare this box as an absolute piece of shit, lovelyhaiku-ish wrote:the realistic stereo reverb
