"Great Mastering Effects!"

Feature:
The Final mastering effects are great!!

Quality:
Built to last, knobs/buttons feel good. I have the zoom 512 effect unit for about 20 years. I don't use it anymore , but, it still works. Do i need to say anymore about zoom quality.

Value:
It's worth every penny.

Desirability:
it's doesn't matter how it looks to me, it's how it sounds.

Sound:
The effects have a good sound, but,I bought the pfx-2200 for the Final Mastering banks & let me tell you it's worth more than $199 just for this effect alone. Also it add a clean punchy sound to the bass guitar. To me the only down side to the pfx2200 is i wish they would have put an opitical in.

Ease of Use:
Easy to use. But, i would read the manual before using it. The manaul has charts for each bank, this is real helpful, especial for the 4 edit knobs.

Support:
Never had too.

Overall:
I gave it a 10, even though it doesn't have a optical input. But, overall i love it.

"Very versatile studio-processor with lots of unique features."

Feature:
The unit has lots of features that other processors dont have, like some cool effects called time-trip and step cry, aswell as a ring modulator and a 3 band isolator. The unit also works well as a mastering-processor because if you install the RFX2000ED software (dl from www.zoom.jp.co) and hook the unit up with MIDI it has (!!! listen up) a multi-band compressor, 31 band graphic eq + 5 band parametric eq AND a up to 20 tap delay which each individual TAP can have its time set! (That means that you can create a rhythmic delay pattern of 20 individual taps..) All these last mentioned effects can only be accesed with the RFX2000ED software, so GET IT if you have a RFX-2200 or RFX-2000. The mic input in the front is probably convenient for live use, but i use it in my studio so i dont really use it. 4 parameters effect can be edited. Tap button for delay-time setting. Digital output with both optical and coaxial connections. Only reason i gave it a 9 here is because i lack a digital input.. that would be nice. And the display could have been a little more advanced.

Quality:
The finish is smooth and everything seems of high quality. I havent noticed any bugs in its software yet. The knobs are silky and light. The input level-meter seems to be a little over-feeded, cause the clip LED lights up when the sound doesnt really clip, so 0 dB on the meter is more like -3 dB of sound. Not a big flaw though.

Value:
The Price/Features ratio for this unit is great. You get lots of features I didnt even knew it had before i downloaded the software. Definitely worth the 250$ i spent on it.

Desirability:
Looks sexy? The unit hides much under its trunk that u might not think at first sight. The all-red LEDs might be scary to someone, they could have had atleast one green led :P But its sexxy though. (btw, the input-level meter has green leds ofcourse.)

Sound:
I really cant find any complaints on the sound. 24-bit internal processing at 44,1khz and 20-bit AD/DA-converters. The reverbs are absolutely stunning, I'd buy the unit for the reverbs alone. The other effects are of pristine quality too.

Support:
I contacted them about their RFX2000ED software, they replied quickly and gave me a precise answer. They seemed nice. Their website is pretty OK and the manual is very good.

Overall:
The Zoom RFX-2200 is to be a very good buy and i reccommend it to people who are looking for a one-in-all studio-processor. It has all the high-quality reverbs you need plus all the ol' normal effects such as delays, chorus, flanger, phaser plus the more rare effects ring-mod, isolator and pitch-delay. What makes it so original and versatile is all the other effecs unique to Zoom and the mastering-features. Very well done this time Zoom! I'll keep it for a long time.

About This Product!
Description
Multimedia
From Zoom, the masters of effects, come the new studio, club and road-ready RFX Series Processors. Each comes packed with customizable high-resolution audio processing tools that will take your sound to new levels without compromising any of your signal's original purity.

Reverb and top-notch processing
121 reverb character settings and 44.1kHz 24-bit processing

The RFX-2200 offers a huge array of reverb settings: 121 acoustic character settings, including 11 distinct types, each with 11 settings

Reverb types: Hall, Room, Plate, Vocal, Ambience, Dimension, Percussion, Ensemble, Power, Gate, Reverse

Intuitive controls with analog feel
Selecting an effect type, changing a parameter or adjusting the balance between dry and wet-every operation is controlled quickly and intuitively with front panel knobs. Making a change on the fly in a live or DJ setting is effortless.

XLR input allows direct microphone connection
The combined XLR / phone connector on the front panel lets you use the unit as a stand-alone effect processor for vocals. A Mic Simulator with condenser mic characteristics is convenient for recording vocals or acoustic instruments. Connect a synthesizer to the rear-panel Input jacks and use the mic to control the Vocoder effect.

Mixdown effects take your creations to the next level
When transferring a song created on a multi-track machine to a master recorder, the mixdown effects of this unit make it easy to provide sound quality compensation and adjust the overall tone. It's also perfect for transferring old sources, such as cassette tapes or records to digital media.

Multi-use effect programs for various environments
There's a lot more here than just reverb: Six-voice stereo chorus for instruments, 8-stage stereo Phaser, Flanger with adjustable bandwidth. There's a broad palette of high-grade effects at your fingertips. For recording, there is a Compressor / Limiter that gives you control over input signal levels as well as a cabinet simulator for that special guitar amp sound.

Effect List: Limiter, Delay, Pitch, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo + Auto Pan, Delay + Reverb, Chorus + Reverb, Delay / Reverb, Flanger / Reverb, Power Mix, Wide Mix, Boost Mix, Vocal Mix, Mic Simulator, Cabinet Simulator, Rotary, Ring Modulator, Resonance, Li-Fi EFX Vocoder, Stereo Delay, Auto-Panning Delay, Rhythmic Delay, Chorus + Delay, Delay + Flanger, Flanger + Reverb, Time Trip, Pitch + Delay, Isolator, Comb Filter, Step Cry, Low Pass Filter, Band Pass Filter, High Pass Filter, Final Master

Additional RFX-2200 features
The RFX-2200 steps you up with some added features that DJs will love. Rhythmic Delay with BPM Syncing, isolator for cutting only a specific range, Low-pass/High-pass/Bandpass filters and other effects are great for remixing and DJ performances.

A 4-band Equalizer and 3-band Compressor help you master like a pro.

Parameters such as delay time or modulation speed can be edited directly by tapping a key in the desired interval.

The RFX-2200 comes with 48 preprogrammed patches, each an example of the unit's incredible versatility. From basic patches like "Vocal Enhancer" to more complex effect combinations like "Orchestra Hall" that simulate the acoustics of a serious classical music venue with incredible accuracy. Use the "MP3 Enhancer" for MP3 files. As you create your own effect patches, you can save up to 100 of them for future use.

The S/PDIF digital output accepts either optical or coaxial connections. This is convenient for direct hookup to a digital mixer, MD or DAT recorder, or any other digital component.

MIDI send/receive capability allows patch switching, saving patch data on an external device, real-time parameter control, and more.
