What is a good reverb for a home studio? I have never bought one i liked yet.

Lyle, you might want to try one of the new multiple effects processors such as a POD XT or one of the various Digitech models. Most of these have several kinds of reverb modelled after some of the traditional favorites. The POD XT has about a dozen different kinds of reverb and is almost worth the price for that alone.

Some that have worked out well in our Studio are the older Lexicon LXP-1, Roland SRV-330, and the Alesis Q-2. Of course if money is no object, the new Kurzwiel KXP-8 is a totally amazing unit.

I have a Digitech 200 Studio Reverb which also has many other things in it like Chorus, Echo , Fuzz and too many to name. But you can use the factory presets or find exactly what you want, as far as Reverb goes , it has many different kinds of reverb and it is the best sounding reverbs I have ever heard and it is quiet as a mouse.

If you have tried all the music store variety units and have not found one you like then you need an EMT plate.

Lexicon is famous for their lush reverb sounds. You can pick up the MPX-1 multi effects unit for $375 - $400 on eBay. These list for about $1200.00. I don't think you can wrong with Lexicon on reverb.

Hello,
IMHO
If the word studio means using a reverb unit for recording, mixing, and as an effect for just playing...
Consider a true stereo processor that will add that stereo reverb to the left and right tracks as you mix down. Also consider a unit with balanced ins and outs to reduce the chance for noise. A great unit is Lexicon. Lexicon units will do most other effects also, but not distortion/fuzz/overdrive...
The Lexicon PCM81 is about as far as a home/project studio needs to go. About $1200.
The older PCM80 and PCM70 are great also. TC Electronics also makes great units. Find them on eBay.

hope i have helped.
