This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I'll more than likely always use this unit until I find something else desirable like this unit. I wonder how the Behringer DSP 2024 Virtualizer Pro sounds.
Sound
Good clean sound, especially the room and plate reverbs. The Chorus plus room effect is decent as well. I can't say much for the rotary simulation though and one of the delay presets is too long rendering it almost unusable for most applications. The Halls are very good but you may need to turn down the Mix on those 2 presets.
Features
A major plus is the compact portability. Not much room for a hugh bag of tricks. You can easily put it in a bag and go. Of course, we all want more presets.
Quality
So far it seems to be constructed well. Because of its very small size, you shouldn't find yourself banging it around a lot. The knobs are okay but if you are looking down on the unit, it may be hard to determine which preset you are selecting.
Value
For the sound quality and low hiss, I'd say it's worth the price. I would have loved more presets but, with the unit being so small, where are you going to put them or label them on the unit.
Manufacturer Support
Have had no need to contact the company.
The Wow Factor
It fits the bill. I think it looks good and due to it's size, it's appearance is unobstrusive.
