I had a PCM70 back in the day, but unfortunately had to sell it at a point in time when I was broke (back in the dark ages).XITE-1/4LIVE wrote:I still think you guys oughtta try a Lexicon PCM70 since it's Analog I/O's and works exceptionally well for mic'd gear too.
I used an Eclipse 1U for pitch mod and found it was pretty cool for percussive attack material as the tails were decent, but you guys are playing sustained types of instruments and the best reverb effect for that is a unit that will melt the source material into the effect, or wrap around the sound.
These Eventides have a nice sound but they are strictly tail makers.
I can only suggest picking up a PCM70 on ebay where the user gets 21 days to make a decision, and then you can see what I mean, I doubt you'll return the unit. But in case you prefer the background wash of the Eventide, you simply return the PCM70 and claim it smelled like cigarettes or had a scratch on it you didn't like.
Hope I'm not offending anyone here, but I find any reverbs made since 1995 sound like IR's and don't wrap around the audio. Native is a perfect example of this too. And yes DSP reverbs also suffer from this, but at least with the STW Plate, Inverse and Ambience we can use stereo Aux's to help a little and the editing options are truly magnificient.
But I am stuck in my ways when it comes to Reverb. I would buy a Bricasti, but 3500 USD is just a little too steep for me, but that's what they use on the big jobs.
A PCM70 would flow in between the strings of that Guitar and you'd find you don't need 20 second decay times or massive room sizes. A splash goes a long way.
I still love the sound of the Guitar and the pedal, I am just a picky old fart..
It had GREAT tails!
