Rocktron Cyborg Reverb Destiny

knobs for time, decay, level. you just hold the store button for a few seconds to store your settings.

very slick hi-fi professional tones from this box. perfect for your effects loop. you like floyd, crimson, fripp, andy summers etc.... here's your reverb in stompbox form.

this is the best sound you are going to find in a stompbox. literally sounds like a high end rack mount. the sounds are aimed at pro-level rock and pop players. not a lot of experimental sounds here. beautiful plates, rooms, halls and a "dual" setting.

i agree with the other review that says the reverb surrounds the notes. this is not a painted on reverb sound. i much prefer the tone of this box to the line-6 and digitech reverb pedals i own.

rocktron stuff is pretty tough.

kind of big but it's programable and that the only other decent reverb pedal (electro-harmonix) is even bigger.

this pedal should have included a spring setting. DUH! not that i'd use it but it is made for guitar after all.

i'm not sure who rocktron is aiming the "cyborg" line at: players with lots of expendable income who don't like rackmounts but do use midi in their rig? out of touch much? should have left the midi off, made the pedal half the size, 2/3 the price and included more sounds and then maybe this pedal would have a second production run. idiots. i am always amazed that rocktron stays in business with their dinosaur 1980's metal outlook.

i like the reverb sounds in the pedal a lot and that is the most important thing to me, but i really don't "get" rocktron as a rule.

It's pretty easy to get a good sound out of it right out of the box, setting your own settings is easy as well. The manual is minimal, but honestly you don't need an extensive manual for something like this.

It is a little noisey with the hush filter on (ironic), but you turn that off and it is really clear. I'm using it in conjunction with a peavey 5150 II head marshall mode four cab and a gibson flying v.

This is where they shine. The people at rocktron are courteous and will help you out with almost any problem. Kudo's to them.

I like it, It's alot better than the digitech reverb, and is more versatile than the boss because of the different patch choices. I would definitely buy this pedal again.

The Rocktron Cyborg Reverb Destiny is an oversized effects pedal that offers quality digital reverbs in a smaller than rack size format.At the heart of the unit is the Rocktron propriety Motorola DSP engine that is in the higher end Intelifex rackmount stuff.The Cyborg Reverb also comes with the Rocktron HUSH circuitry,that can be turn on or off via a small top panel switch.The pedal offers 8 basic reverb types,though there are 64 user presets available,but a Rocktron midi controller is needed to maximize the Cyborgs flexiblity.The top/front control panel features Preset,Reverb Type,Decay and Level.Presets include Plates,Rooms,Hall,Stadium and Dual.The unit features no true stereo operation,as only mono in and mono out jacks are offered.

The sound quality of the different reverbs are really quite excellent...sounding lush,warm and like part of the natural note tones coming from the instrument.I would say the overall sound quality to be about a notch below that of a good Lexicon or Eventide unit,and that is a compliment to the Cyborg Reverb Destiny.My personal favorite is the Stadium setting,with the decay set about 1 o'clock and level fairly high...great for Chris Isaak "Wicked Game" like ambience.The HUSH works very well,but can be choppy in an amp with a noisy effects loop or set behind a thrashy distortion box.

Feels and looks sturdy,but who knows.

Never had to deal with Rocktron.

I really like the Cyborg Reverb Destiny,as it's lush and deep reverbs sound like part of the original note...not like a boingy afterthought.It also works really well for vocals and keyboards for home recording buffs.I especially dig the Cyborg Reverb through the effects loop of my Masters TVA30 tube head,with my Duncan Lipstick loaded American Fender Strat in front...instant Duane Eddy and James Calvin Wilsey.
