6 knobbies, 2 stompers, and a bunch of presets. Waaaaay flexible. Thusly it will take a bit of tweaking to get the reverbs(s) you are looking for. And rightly so. Good reverb is a fickle mistress indeed.

Chinese ES-335 -> Boss TU-2 -> Boss BD-2 -> homemade tremolo -> EHX Cathedral -> Boss DD-7 -> Boss -> Boss RC-20XL -> homemade 25watt amp. No noise at all. None. 0% - 100% dry to wet. Best reverb in a stomp box EVER. I'm a reverb junkie and have gone through tons of verbs and this one takes the cake. Great for mild reverb and even better for extra spacial madness (MBV and Sigur Ros style). I used to have 3 reverbs on my board at once for dynamics but thanks to the memory function this is like 3 pedals in one: Verb, tap delay, and deeeep flange. Just keep the 'pre-delay' below 11 o' clock or it sound unrealistic.

I dig Shoegazey stuff but also indulge in a little american twang. This works perfect for both. This wonderful little box will supply studio quality sound unmatched by anything but really expensive rack gear. I'm in love.

Pretty easy, don??t have to be a rocket scientist, manual pretty goood.
Like expensive pedals it had a 24 bit AD and DA converters, True stereo inputs and outputs, but just a small slice of the price.
8 programmable reverb styles with the ability to load and save.
It??s also a cool Delay.
Tap tempo to set pre-delay time up to 2 seconds, wich is enough for me or most of musicians (i guess).
Feedback control for pre-delay section.
Damping/Tone control available for each reverb mode. Grail spring, accu spring, hall, room, plate, reverse (WOW - AWESOME), grail flerb, echo.
Hold tap tempo for INFINITE REVERB, AND play over.
96DC-200 PSU power supply included. (no chance for 9v Batteries - some may consider this a con)
Enter the Cathedral and surround your music with the aria of divine presence
This pedal was worth the money. I have the Boss RV-5, Digitech X Series & Reverberator and this was definitely better to my ears. This is highly recommended for those who want that deep, haunting reverb without tweaking parameters for 15 damn hours.
EXTRMELY good looking pedal
BY THE WAY, I??M A BASS player AND I USE IT FOR MY SOLOS, INTROS & ballads
