I played the thing for about an hour at GC...
Came away unimpressed --- the reverbs are to me very "digital" and artificial sounding....not the kind of spring/plate stuff I really like.
Yeah, they are lexicon reverbs, and yes, that is a HUGE step up from digitech in the past, but imo the thing isn't worth it for a $150 reverb pedal. These aren't the reverbs that come with the really high end Lexicon products -- more like an entry level version of Lexicon reverbs.
Still on sale at American Musical, though:
