Behringer REV2496 Dual Engine Reverb Modeler Reviews

24 People rated this product :

"One of the best, not for the price, but one of the best, PERIOD."
Feature:
The most important feature to me is the comprehensive set of effects editing parameters. And the fact that this is a REVERB MODELER, and excels at what it does best without trying so hard to do everything else equally well (what other budget effects processors tend to do, and end up not doing great at anything at all). This is a focused product, with REVERB as the main focus of its feature set.

Quality:
Surprisingly, this unit doesn't look or feel cheap at all. Even given the affordable price. Without knowing what it really costs, you'd think it's a much more expensive piece of equipment. My friends did.

Value:
Of all the home studio equipment I own, this is probably the best bang for the buck. Even compared to other Behringer stuff that I own.

Desirability:
This product has an elegant appeal to it. The front panel is well laid-out. And the large LCD just screams high-tech.

Sound:
Sounds much better than similar priced Lexicon low-end series. With proper tweaking of the comprehensive parameters, its most elaborate V-Verb algorithm in particular offers virtually limitless possibilities. I was even able to replicate my favorite Lexicon PCM-series studio reverbs, particularly the highly effective yet subtle Hall effects with smoooooth reverb tails. For the price, nothing beats it. At double/triple its price, probably only a handful can. In my experience, only the venerable Lexicon surround processor beats it to the dust. But at how many times the price...

Ease of Use:
This has probably the easiest-to-use user interfaces on an effects processor, Lexicon's latest PCM96 included. The LCD UI is analogous to a computer operating system with multiple tabs to manage the plethora of settings... here they call it "pages". And the parameters on each page are mapped (logically and graphically on the LCD) into 4 control knobs on the faceplate. How more intuitive can that get?

Support:
Never needed to contact them. So to be fair, I'd give them a 10, unless in the future I experience something bad.

Overall:
This is a keeper. I probably won't be swayed to buy even an expensive Lexicon gear, even when I collected enough money... except maybe for a 960L, which to me is still the best effects processor in the world.

"Behringer V-VERB is a "high end" sounding unit. Man was I surprised. Congrats Behringer! I'm looking forward to even a higher e"
Feature:
It had a LOT of control. The V-VERB algorithm has the most parameters. VERY nice. It also can produce Chorus and Delay ect... Although these are nice additions, especially since you have two unit in one, but the reverbs alone is WELL worth the price.

Quality:
Appears to be bulit well

Value:
$150 !!! What the.... I just ordered three more! Damn, I may order more and dedicate just for live use.

Desirability:
As I mentioned, I ordered three more !

Sound:
I can not believe how good the V-VERB sounds! After reading some old reviews I found on the net (Sound-On-Sound), I thought I'd check one out. Heck for $150 USD, why not. I currently own two Lexicon PCM91s and a Lexicon MPX500. The V-VERB blows away the MPX500. I never use the MPX500. I should of sold it years ago. The V-VERB come "REAL" close to the PCM91 sound! I can not believe I have not heard more about these! It also has TWO stereo units! You are essentially getting two units. I hear NO noise at all. Even the analog connections sound great. It has AES/EBU and optical S/PDIF plus balanced + unbalanced in/outs! It appears they sampled some of the Lexicon and others for these algorithms... very dense. The ambient I believe is from the Lexicon 960. Its very useable for achieving that open room sound without adding long reverb tails. Speaking of tail. This unit rolls of VERY nicey on the tails. Just like my PCM91s

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use.

Support:
I don;t know, I have only had it for a week.
