As I’ve stated in my other reviews on this site, I’m a bit of a reverb collector, so this was a natural acquisition to go for_ Dated 2021, I bought my M7 from a guy who spent £50k on his studio and went only for top end gear. So why did I go for the M7 when I have pretty much all the ‘classic’ units from the list, including Multiple big Lexicons, AMS, Eventide, Yamaha and Roland’s… Simply answer: intrigue! Every review of the Bricasti on YouTube shows many top engineers and producers getting wet mouth’s just talking about the M7 and they just go on about how impressed they really are with this unit. It’s coming up 10+ years since it was introduced, and here in the UK, an M7 will set you back £2.5-3.5k depending on luck. I was lucky…. very lucky! So I bought the M7 a few months ago and here’s my breakdown….

Firstly, this thing is just Sooo quiet, it’s ridiculous! Compared to vintage reverbs the M7 is top of the list! It’s signal processing is also way better than the (‘classic’s”).. Imagine a very soft mellow string sound from and analog synth. It doesn’t take much input to clip the reverb and start to hopelessly distort. The M7 is far mor patient and that I love. The Quality of algorithms in V2.0 is as good as I think you’ll get. Some are scarily realistic, while others are ‘clever’, but I’m not sure where or how you’d use them. As a whole, the presets and plentiful and there ‘will be’ ones you can use. My favourites are the plates. The presets are excellent, but I tend to find a little short in decay. Editing is fairly straight forward and the menu system is very easy to navigate. As for the quality (which is what we’re really interested in). I have to say, the M7 is amazing! The only presets I thought were a little poor, were the ‘non-linear’ stuff and I have to say, my RMX is still my favourite for those. Halls, Rooms, Wood Floors, Churches, Stages and a ton of others are very high quality and I can see why people rave about this as a studio “must have”. Build quality is ‘ Bentley/ Mercedes’ quality and the U/I is pretty easy to grasp.

My only gripe is the 4 quick access user locations (more would have been nicer). Absolutely love the display and boot up time is pretty quick too.. Is it worth getting? I “hummed and aahh’d for quite some time before I finally went for one, but if prices come down to a level of your affordability, my advice is grab one!
