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.
