Effects recommendations and help

[Robj]

Hi all,

Just getting started back into music after a long lay-off. I have a Tascam 464 and am looking at adding some effects. What I'm looking at now is a (FMR RNC) compressor. A (alesis midiverb IV) reverb unit. A (BBE 462) maximizer.
I was wondering if any of you have any other suggestions, trying to stay in the price range of the above effect units? Or any input about these products?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Hey Rob:

I have an Alesis Reverb box in my studio/can't remember its exact title but it is a pretty good box and has edit functions to create and store modified patches. I also have an Ensonique DP-4 which is a hummer. It has about everything in the world dealing with reverb.
You might try renting a unit or two for a couple of months to see what works and what doesn't. Many catalog outfits like Full Compass rent gear. There are many reverb units out there; let your ears judge.
