zZounds Gear Experts Say...
4-channel operation. 32-bit internal signal processing. 10 different routing types.
Overview
The REV2496 is a reference-class reverb modeler that simulates some of the world's most renowned reverb processors. It features two independent effects processors with both analog and digital connectors, 8 high-end reverb algorithms, modulation effects, and stereo Compression. Its high-quality 24/96 converters plus full 96kHz operation with both effects processors (all 4 channels!) guarantees absolute high-end performance.
A full-featured digital interface with AES/EBU and optical S/PDIF I/O, Wordclock In and MIDI capability allow flexible integration with other digital equipment. Navigating the REV2496 is intuitive and easy, with soft push/turn encoders, a big preset wheel, a high-resolution LCD display and a TAP button. Separate ROM and user preset banks put a total of 400 presets at your fingertips - and open architecture allows future software updates via MIDI. Balanced inputs, servo balanced outputs on XLR and 1/4 in. TRS connectors.
Features:
Reference class reverb modeling processor with high quality 24-bit/96kHz A/D and D/A converters
Full 4-channel operation up to 96kHz without any limitations, providing two separate effects processors in one unit
8 high end reverb algorithms, modeled after world class reverb processors
Additional high quality modulation effects from X-over Delay to Chorus/Flanger plus stereo Compressor
Full Featured digital interface with AES/EBU in/out, optical S/PDIF in/out, Wordclock in, and MIDI function for flexible use with digital equipment… read more
Ultra high-resolution SHARC processor with 32-bit internal signal processing for ultimate sonic resolution
10 different routing types for flexible assignment of analog and digital connectors to both stereo engines
Innovative user interface with soft push/turn encoders, big preset wheel, high-resolution graphic LCD display and additional TAP button for delay times
Direct access to 4 effect parameters makes editing easy and comfortable
Intuitive editing of up to 30 parameters using specially designed graphic mode
Separate ROM and user preset banks with 400 presets total
Balanced inputs and servo-balanced outputs and gold-plated XLR and 1/4 in. TRS connectors
Open architecture allows future software updates via MIDI
Internal switch mode power supply for maximum flexibility (100-240V~), noise free audio, superior transient response plus lowest possible power consumption for energy saving
Designed in Germany. Manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system read less

"So cheap?! So versatile?!! GO BUY IT !"
Becouse of the
Sound
Some complain about it being thin, cheap, which for the price tag wouldn't be too hard to believe. !! BUT !!, there are a few things you can do, that are not obvious at first, but can help you get amaizing stuff out of it. Ie if you want more control over ER in the reverb department, you could simply use combi/parallel, using two Gold plates end tweak it to your likings. This way you get double the control over ERs... Another one is control over ER diffusion. Simply use serial config but be careful which reverb you choose as the last one. By the way, iMHO, using only EQ and reverb you can get any landscape you want. Ever listened to arca, sigur ros or Informations "biomekano"? :)
Features
Read that 'sound' part? Just don't let me start with delay section, as here is where you can use your production skilz to great extent (doubling,...)
Ease of Use
If you know what decay and ER are, it isn't much of a trouble. If you've seen Virtualizer or even other FX units you won't even look at the manual.
Quality
Behringer quality, i think, is famous everywhere. If it dies, it's dead. It can happen any minute - my Behringer mixer died on a live show. How NOTcool is that?! And also the knobs - am, be gentle, maybe?
Value
Man, the versatility you get for 200 bucks?!! I don't care if it's crappy built, i don't… read more want FX unit to limit me... For 200 bucks, that is.
Manufacturer Support
Not yet.
The Wow Factor
I got it, thinking of another one as a dedicated Delay or ER generator unit.
