Yes, This thing is the bomb. I’m not kidding. Dark, smooth, or bright verbs, that sound real, with smooth tails that are not metallic, it can do some metallic tails where it’s wanted if need be. This thing has super smooth reverb tails, something you do not get with plug ins. I hate all reverb plug ins, even convolution verbs. They lack modulation and the sound results sound unnatural to me. This thing is expensive, but man its worth it. To finally get some of my drums to sound like juno reactor, and astral projection. Yup this thing gets me there in combination with my distressors and drawmer tubestation. It’s like a super pcm 80, with verbs from their top of the line 480 and 960 with out the bad converts and noise the old units have. This thing is lush, full, wide and amazing. Sure I like the halls a lot. But the plates and rooms are simply breath taking. So much better than the ksp8 I have. The ksp8 sounds kind of bright and metallic, but in a good way that is not cheap. This is smooth and colored and deep sounding in any way i want, dark, bandpassed, or bright. The magick is in the early reflections. That is where this unit is heads and tails above the rest.

It does subtle things that really helps the when you are mixing, giving a sound a tad more of a 3d sound, or adding huge depth to a sound. It’s so important to ambient match sounds, to make everything sound like its in the same room or space. Cheap verbs don’t get you there. This most certainly does. Worth every penny and more, in fact i think it’s a steal. You can hook it up fire wire, and use it as 4 mono fx, 2 stereo fx, or cascade. I use it analog so I don’t know that much about the AU interface. From the front panel, i seem to be able to do everything very easily. I had to figure out what buttons did what, but once i did. This thing is a breeze to use, even easier than the ksp8 that is pretty easy to use as well. In analog mode, i can use it a two fx engines, one into the other, it has many configurations and variations for mono and stereo. But I only get 2 in, 2 out no matter what. As a audio unit in logic via fire wire, it has 4 in and 4 out. I give this unit a 5 out of 5. Seriously, I love the delays, reverse verbs, and the flanger and chorus fx. It does every thing very well with it’s own lexicon color. I love it. I made an audio demo of me messing with drums, and my sh-2 doing a sample and hold filter sweep. Both, you can really tell, I play them dry first, then I start changing fx around, verbs and stuff. So Click Here To Listen to the demo. For the demo, i ran my pcm96 as an fx send on my mackie onyx mixer, and back into a stereo channel. I ran ultrabeat and my sh2 in the mackie and mixed dry and the send signal together on the analog board, and recorded it in with my rme fireface 800. After that, i did 6db of gain with the waves L3.

Pros: Breath taking sound quality and converter, Super realistic or scifi. The rooms can make things sound really wide and 3 dimensional and in your face, I love it. Best Digital Reverb on the market.

Cons: I wish it had 4 analog ins and outs instead of two. No PC vst support for the firewire, mac only, GO BUY A MAC.
