I’ve never owned one of these things, and seeing as they are still pretty pricey I doubt I ever will: seems a bit of an unnecessary luxury given that a DAW can do all of these tasks just as well. But for some reason, the idea of a really nice 80’s digital effect unit has been appealing to me for some time now… might spring for a Eventide H3000 if ever have some spare scratch. I think those things have finally made it to the ‘so out it’s in’ stage.

The eventide eclipse is affordable. The eventide space aswell. The mangler and rumour by kurzweill and the h9 by eventide are now affordable options to get into the AMS territory.

The delay and reverb have been very popular for their "trashy but cool" sound for the last decade at least..

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is not about the destination, it is the journey. It is the brain-power behind the technology that matters. Talking about digi-blah blah, digital this, digital that...Every one should check out Boolean Algebra (Sir George Boole). Suddenly digital is not so new and cool anymore...Cheers.
