My poor old $30 peavey addverb 2 is dying. The internal battery has leaked all over the board inside and it's not pretty. I've cleaned it/resoldered and given it a new battery but the damage is done and each day it gets worse. No great loss, but in a way I'll miss her.

I need a cheapish replacement reverb. I really only use it to make my sansamp/rockman sustainor guitar tones more realistic while throwing ideas into my pc, and perhaps a touch on our electric drum kit.

I don't need super lush thousand dollar sounds but I certainly don't want crap. I did have a little behringer FX800 and while this fits the bill to some extent, it sounds pretty ugly (I gave it away).

I am thinking the TC electronics M350 will work for me. Reverb, plus the ability to run another effect on a different send/return at the same time will be pretty handy for my purposes. I don't think I'd use the digital outs though.

Anyone have one? Any better choices? I'd rather not spend more than $500 on it.
 
I've checked out the Rumour and it looks pretty nice but seemingly hard to source here in Australia. Could buy from OS though... hmm

Would prefer a brand new unit really, but looks like I'll need to shell out about $500 either way.

I've got a TC M350. It's a recent acquisition, so I haven't explored its full potential. However, it has a smooth, spacious reverb that I like, and seems to behave itself well. It works ok for me.
 
Cool... Upon further inspection, each side is summed before output so it's not really a dual engine (well, I guess it is, but it can't be used 2 discrete units). But at the price it'll get me out of no-reverb land and get me playing more so I think it's the ticket.

Thanks guys
 
For the record, I got one and it's pretty cool. Effects are good, it's got tap tempo, reverbs seem okay, need to spend a few more hours with it but initial impressions are good. Got it cheap too.
 
I'm pleased that your purchase is working out for you.

Like you, I haven't had the opportunity to explore the M350 capabilities fully yet, but so far so good.

I picked up one last weekend for $100. Figured I couldn't go wrong at that price, and ya know, for the money, it's pretty nice.

Haven't fully explored it yet, but initial impressions are good. The reverbs are surprisingly nice sounding, and there's a decent amount of tweaking you can do to em. The delays are quite nice and the tap tempo's a piece of cake. I don't know how much use i'll have for the other effects, but the choruses are pretty cool.

Anyway, for small coin, this is a really useful little box.

cheers,
wade
