There are no factory effects built in to the 1680. You must buy the effect boards and install them.

The optional effects boards are about $275 each.You can use one or two at a time.The effects can be used as inserts or aux sends and can be used as stereo or mono.They have all kinds of defferent effects including amp modeling,mic modeling,compressors,reverbs,delays and a lot more.I am still learning about mine and having a great time doing it.

Not too sure about reverb/EQ/delay existing on your system, but I would definitely recommend the effects boards. TONS of (relatively) ultra high quality effects. Unfortunately, the user interface is lacking.

Reminds me of a guy I met who said the VS-XXX sucks because it is too hard to use. The guy had one and returned/sold it because it was too difficult for him to use. All of the on-board options confused him. He now has a simpler HD recorder and uses outboard effects.

dalty...is that a newer model or something? I know the VS-1680 I have on loan does not have factory effects.

BBB- I have had my share of learning curve on mine, not sure if I'd own one yet. There is something to be said for going outboard.
