Feature:
Well, there is the "Big Bottom" with this you can enhance (or destroy) the deep frequencies of your recording. And there is the Ecxiter with which you can enhance (or destroy) the middle and high frequencies of your recording. You can actually enhance or destroy your whole recording with this machine. When you use the Aphex 204, besides having good monitors, you need to know what you are doing.
Quality:
I think a company like Aphex does not produce bad quality.
Value:
Good value for money if you are know how to use it.
Desirability:
I have got it
Sound:
I give it a 10, The Best. Yes, it is the best of all these kind of processors available. BUT...read on.....
Ease of Use:
This unit is not easy to use. You need to be experienced to use the Aphex 204. It gets a 10 anyway, because if you know what you are doing, this machine is great, If you dont, thats your problem
Support:
I do not know, never needed them, therefore a 5
Overall:
Well, as I already explained, when using this unit you need to know what you are doing. This is not a miracle-machine. Just while writing this I am listening to an officially re-released Hendrix CD. It really seems this CD was remastered using the Aphex 204. And I am sure that the people who remastered this CD did not know how to use the 204. They made the mistakes that every beginner, or everyone who uses the 204 for the first time, would make. The Aphex 204 has power, but only in the right hands. So the Aphex in this case gets a rating of 10, but the people who used it on this CD get a 1. Because using the Aphex, and it seems they did, they seriously destroyed Hendrix´s sound in a very bad way.
