posture Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 What would be the best bet for finding a hardware reverb unit for cheap, that doesn't sound like total ass. I don't like when reverb has too much noise associated with it. I just want it to be lush and warm sounding, thinking along the lines of the bass sound on the Aphex song Tha. Also where to look, and what to look for. I'm poor, so I have a cash converters (lol) a few minutes from my house where I see a lot of rack mount stuff so that's where I'd probably look first. Then I guess random mom and pop music shops/ebay/craigslist or something. I plan on using it with synths, and eventually one day with guitars so I can achieve my musical fantasy of making some droney space rock with Hawaiian style slide guitars. Thanks.

BCM Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 fuck cash converters mate. get a Zoom RFX-1100. £99 brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 i take it from the cash converters thing, you're in the UK and not the US as your profile claims...anyway, just google "Zoom RFX-1100" and order it from the best price on line source. fuck buying music equipment from shops man - they are much much more expensive than on line places as a rule....

modey Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) behringer virtualizer pro behringer rv-600 guitar pedal both very cheap, and very awesome. especially the virtualizer. very good for super ambient stuff, and they also have great spring reverb emulators.

BCM Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Nah I am from the states, thanks I will look into that. oh right, didn't know they have cash converters in the US....but yeah, it's a good unit, check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylonbitch Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 whatever you do, stay away from the cheaper alesis units. they're noisy as all fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakapo Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 You can get an Ensoniq DP2 for less than £100. You might even be able to stretch to a DP4+. Guitar studio multi-effects, used by just about everybody from Autechre to Daft Punk. The reverb on it is under-rated but very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwave Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I can get some very lush reverbs from my Quadraverb 2, the other FX are a bit on the weak side but the reverbs are very comprehensive and can be routed to work in true stereo. Also the Boss RV 70 didn't sound bad for what it was and they can be had for peanuts these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 whatever you do, stay away from the cheaper alesis units. they're noisy as all fuck. The Alesis Nanoverb is alright. The reverb itself is kind of sketchy, and it's like 18 bit or something weird, but the delay is actually really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest analogue wings Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Cash Converters here are a joke - they just ebay search everything, find the silliest price that thing has ever sold for, and slap that on the pricetag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a Yamaha AW16g in very good nik with a 3 month warranty for £160 from cash converters! It's best when they have no idea what it is. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest A/D Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 i got a used lexicon mpx-500 for $150. it is an excellent and very versatile reverb. stay away from the mx-200, even though it's usb-programmable, it's annoying as fuck to use. alternately, if you want one, i will sell you one for very cheap.

Berk Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 My dad and I built a home made plate reverb years ago. It still needs some fine tuning, but the sound is beautiful. Just google DIY plate reverb and you'll find loads of info Spring reverbs can be had for cheap if you look at the right places. They are often built in in old mixers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nil Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Do you have any pics of your plate reverb ? How expensive / tricky is it to build one ? Thanks ! I'd love to buy a Strymon Big Sky someday... but I have a couple of synths to buy first hehe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grain Bastard Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Strymon Big Sky pedal. Not exactly budget but not expensive for such a high quality piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 check out the alesis wedge - sounds great. i have a few hardware reverbs (dp4, lexicon pcm70) and it is still a goto box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
