"Virtual Versatillity"
I got this as a secondary studio reverb unit, with the bonus of some useful additional effects, all at a very acceptable asking price. I wouldn't choose this model for live work or gigging, however, as you cannot change seamlessly from one sound to another - the delay would be too intrusive. It's possible to get some nice noises out of it, but you will need to spend time 'playing' in order to achieve the sound you want. A bit more cash will get you a better sounding, but less versatile piece of equipment.
Sound
If this is to be your main reverb unit, you may be a little disappointed with the sounds compared to [say] a Lexicon, though it's on a par with most of Zoom's efforts. If price is important, then the reverbs are value for money, shall we say? The other effects - and you get a lot - are generally usable, especially when buried in the mix. The guitar amp emulations are a bit thin for serious use, but may hold up when integrated into a mix. Overall, it's possibly too clinical in what it does, but it does do quite a lot.
Features
You get plenty of control over the various parameters, and the knobs, with their speed sensitive response, get you to where you want to be pretty quickly - certainly better than increment buttons. The presets are OKish but too many seem to be [literally] there for effect, rather than to provide a useful range of graduated sounds.
Ease of Use
On a par with… read more other budget equipment, and better than some. Storing user presets is quick and simple. The display is not great if you need a constant readout of each parameter's setting, but, at the price, this seems to be an acceptable alternative to an LCD screen. It takes about 1s to load a new preset once selected, which may be a problem in live situations. Also, it doesn't appear possible to cue a preset and load it when ready - you have to scroll to the preset which then loads itself. The Lexicon 550 is much better in this respect [but still takes about 1s to load the preset].
Quality
Similar to other Behringer equipment - solid construction and the controls don't feel cheap and nasty.
Value
Good value for money, provided you don't expect to get a Porsche for the price of a Ford.
The Wow Factor
I don't like the 'slanty look' of the latest Behringer stuff, but it works and feels OK so, whilst it lacks sex appeal, it's not particularly naff either.
