This had to be one of the best kept secrets in pro audio. Bought one when they first came out and it sounds better than any of my other digital reverbs and that includes my Lexicon MPX1, EV-Dynacord, TC Electronic, Zoom, Alesis Quadraverb or any thing else I've owned so far. If I had a Lexicon PCM70, PCM80, or PCM 90 series Lexicon, these would be more competitive. Wish I had a crystal ball so could have bought more originally. Good luck finding someone willing to part with one. Thanks!
And has 24-bit/96 kHz while most modern fx-processors like Moooer's and Boss's still use 44.1 khz. these days. Still have one gathering dust in the attic due to soft plugins.
I just recapped the power supply on my two V-verbs and DEQ2496 with low impendence Panasonic, Nichicon caps. They both use the same switch mode power supply.
I would go as far as saying it's a Poorman's Eventide. I bought mine for $149 15 years ago brand new, and my only criticism is I didn't buy 2. *It's also a bit extreme for some needs as well where you need a delay, a modulation or a reverb, but you don't need 20 parameters to adjust.* For this reason, I bought 2 Virtualizer Pros, and they have moderate parameter controls, and are ideal for using on a guitar amp's effects loop or when you don't want to spend an hour programming a reverb or modulation for some vocals or an acoustic guitar. I greatly see the Rev2496 as a piece of studio gear to put on your mixing board's loop, mastering through your board or pursuing a commercial quality recording. *With all that said, PC's and even Android tablets provide so much now that a $100 tablet can genuinely replace the powerhouse rack units still on the market today.* Even 20 years ago I talked to a lot of other musicians online that constantly used the phrase, "just mouse it" meaning add your effects with your DAW after the fact.
Nice to see the Kawai K1. I've owned my K1r since 1990 and still find it very useful, especially when modern synths are too digital and clinical to sit in the mix properly, then its K1r to the rescue yet again.
This is a great sounding unit. Unfortunately, most of what I hear about it, is how the quality control and build isn't that great and most of these die, fairly quickly. I am glad to see yours is still running well, even if a bit noisy on some of the parameter changes.
I have two running in my studio right now both working fine! Only had to replace the PSU on one but Behringer still sells replacement units. Not bad for a 15 year old unit I think!

Awesome! I believe almost the whole 2496 line from Behringer uses the same PSU. Wish I could solder, would be way cheaper 😅
I agree, it sounds better than some of my costly reverbs including my Lexicon...

@@NickHabermehl No, not at all! It is the PSU I usually hear about dying, too. Did you replace it, yourself?
@@ASH-ou4cg Yeah I replaced it myself. Took about 10 minutes :) Some also recap the PSU instead of buying a replacement
@@NickHabermehl Hello, I'm trying to have mine recapped but reading about a psu replacement... Do you have the reference of the psu replacement ?

How does this unit compare to the 3dfx2000?
Efek model ini saya lgi nyari.
Kalo mau pesan barang ini di mana ka ?
I don't know I bought mine secondhand.
