Since I'm not using it live it's probably OK for me, but I think you'll have a hard time finding decent reverbs that aren't resource hungry. That's always been a problem. I've seen some hardware accelators.. not sure how well they work but it may be the answer to your problems: http://www.zzounds.com/item--TCEPCCOMPACT of course, for that price you can get a very cool multi effects processor. :) Mark --- Rainer Thelonius Balthasar Straschill <rs@moinlabs.de> wrote: > Had a look at RMX Stylus at a friend's place.
