Used on keys, drums and guitars. It sounds exceptionally natural. When engaged it set your instrument in a natural space which sound very smooth and warm. The EQ is very effective and helps you change the character of the reverb if you are in search of different flavours, but also flat it is extremely pleasant. I would have prefer to have the engage of bypass Led on the front panel and the direct level active only when the unit is engaged, but it does not make the unit less amazing.

It´s the same unit as the Sony MU-R201. Which I owned!

Can be noisy if gain staging isn’t properly setup. The pots get scratchy and are not robust. The dual concentric level controls got frozen together somehow and are not on the same settings. I have to balance my sends to compensate. The jacks are cheaply made and the buttons don’t have good feedback.

But for the money this is a very nice sounding reverb. Can be ice cold and spooky sounding but smooth and works great in mixes. I use it for electro-industrial and it’s an excellent fit on synths, samplers and drum machines. Honestly over the years it’s become a favorite go to unit. It’s an interesting contrast to my Lexicon, Kurzweil and Eventide reverbs. Has some similarities with the Alesis Midiverb II which I also enjoy.

It’s old! Replace those capacitors. Doing so reduced the noise floor on mine noticeably.

I have two of these units. Bought them mainly for mixing drums and they are stellar. You get everything from subtle ambiance to that classic 80’s gated extravaganza. For the prices they go for today, make sure you grab one! Or two!

Picked this up as part of a package deal. Had heard some good things about it but had my doubts. After a couple years I find that it is quite the sleeper and I am using it more and more. This is a huge box, both physically and sonically. It has a few sweet spots that are really very sweet. The sound of its reverb is very liquid and flowing with some of the best gated verbs I have ever heard. The dual delay is very handy and can create some decent chorus and flanger effects. At longer delay and decay times the tails get very synthetic sounding which I find is very nice on synths but not so much for drums. Editing is dead easy and dual channel operation is very useful. A surprisingly decent little box if a tiny bit noisy. The buttons and controls could be better quality.

If you want compression and you want the listener to know compression is on then this is the machine for you.

If you are looking for a compressor that is not clean and pristine, and one that imparts a warm tone to the compressed signal, look no further. It deserves a place in your rack purely because it sounds warm and different to most modern compressors.

I have an old DRS78, it offers a lot of possibilities and I really love its sound.

Very open to creative use, and a nice characteristic tone to it.

Got it from a friend’s studio and use it in every mix, mainly as my main snare reverb. Have used it as a (vocal) hall reverb as well. Overall a very very affordable effect unit with great sound! Can’t recommend it enough.
