Not so good construction. It’s physically cheap in every regard and noisy hence the prices it commands now. But for cost of a dinner out here’s what you get. A collection of usable and well rounded presets that are still useful for modern electronic music. And the best part is the mojo factor. Very chewy lofi sound that reminds me of the X-Files theme as heard from VHS on old CRT televisions. Or Twin Peaks even.

Yesterday’s cheese is today’s gourmet. I love this box on older VA synths like the Alesis Ion. And on digital synths in general because you can overdrive the inputs anywhere from mild warmth to wild grit. Underrated little machine that has tricks up its sleeve after all these years.

Instant classic vibes and inspiration, very musical.

Hated this thing when I bought it new back in the late 80’s cause I thought I could edit the presets – my goof – so it sat unused until I pulled it out a few years later to use on a track and realized how great it was. Been using it on everything ever since AND even bought a 2nd one off EBay or Craigs a few years back for like $50. It’s a classic!

Very good retro effects processor, love the strict tight sound of it.

Great unit for fragment of price of VST reverb!

Great Digital Effects Processor! The best!

Build quality: The buttons are nice. Its intuitive and fast to program. Its only like 6 inches deep, so with cables plugged in back that’s about 9 inches deep. Sound quality: Its grainy and noisy. Has unbalanced connections. Usefulness: Unique character that’s not easily replicated in-the-box. Mojo: I like to use Quadraverb for its great huge reverb decay because it makes block chords or strings sound beautiful, beefy, and full of grainy character. Reliability: The front panel and screen work great and interface is responsive and easy to navigate. But I probably have a bad unit because sometimes, especially when its first powered on and still cold, the right channel dips by like 14dB so i give the unit a little shake and wiggle the cables in the back to get it working correctly.

Had the unit in our electro studio, was great on all the drum reverbs. To my ears very 1980’s sounding, our unit required a new display.

What a box!

I use my ADR68K on philharmonic orchestra for live show with my 480L for the tutti, the ADR68K make reverb for strings.

I have a version 4.00. I have used different Lexicons as well but I think this is even better in vocal use. Absolutely amazing unit!

Love this box!
