Not of sound mind
I have one of these multi-effects processors that I used to use a fair amount in my 4-track days, but since I've gone PC, it hardly gets used at all. I really liked some of the reverbs. Google doesn't have much about this box, so I thought I'd check here for other's experiences.

It looks kind of lonely over there on the shelf. Does anyone else have one? Maybe they could get together for a play-date. I'm not selling it, or anything. I just wanted to see if anyone else had one.
 
I don't have one,...

but it looks like a cool enough unit that I wanted one.

Does that count?? :eek:

Well looks are important. So, I guess that's something. If I ever decide to sell mine, I'll let you know. :p
 
Yeah,...

it has the basic features that I'd look for in a small effects unit, but I don't use effects all that often. Currently, I have an old Yamaha R-100 stereo delay/reverb. It's adequate, but as I said, I hardly ever use effects any more. :eek:

I have various other heavy duty rackmount effects accessories, but refer to the above. :eek:
 
Go to the Future Music website. Hit the Gear link. Type in FOSTEX in the SEARCH. You'll see a link to a DE-1 review. They liked it.

I believe the DSP chips in the DE-1 are also in the VF160. But I can't swear to it.

Cool! Thanks for the website. I saw a couple of user reviews at harmony-central as well. I bought this unit many years ago and still think it has some of the best reverbs for a $100 box (better than many of my plugin reverbs, too). I may have to bust it out in the near future for something.

I did more looking too. These were generally well thought of units. Actually, The VF160 effects are based on a later edition of the effects chips in the DE-1, but they're probably very similar.
