I'm not sure if you've already had a poke at it, but the Ibanez UE400 or UE-405. Rack unit with pedal board for controls. Each effect (including the effect loop!) could be placed in a different position in the effect chain by a rotary switch to get a slightly different sound. One of them, I can never remember which, has the TS-9 circuit in it. I still miss mine, and most of the ones I see on eBay or Reverb not only go for too much money, or they're wired for another country's voltage. Cheers from Canada!
NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DO NOT LIKE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... SHOW GOOD DEVICES THAT HAVE GUITAR PRESETS AND ALGORITHMS! LIKE ROKTRON... OR DIGITAC... OR LINE - WHICH HAVE DIFFERENT PRESETS FOR DIFFERENT GUITARS! WHERE THERE ARE GOOD CLEAN SOUNDS AND CHORUS AND FLANGER... NOT JUST CRAZY ROCK WITH OVERLOADS... YOU LIKE PLAYING WITH OVERDRIVE... - BUT NOT EVERYONE LIKES IT! SHOW GOOD AND INTERESTING RACK DEVICES!!!
huge respect for underlying that this unit is not worth the price above 100 bucks. it means a lot to second hand market, especially when people try to sell old unfamous units for thousands of dollars
Many years ago (the '90's to be exact) my first real gigging set up included a Peavey rack pre-amp and a Peavey rack power amp...no MIDI back then, but God they were a formidable pairing.
I had one of these as my only fx processor going into a stereo amp. Of course I didn't have an Eventide to compare it to, but it always sounded pretty good to me! Simple, cheap, easy to use. I don't like the huge power brick it requires though.
Hearing this, my reaction was very similar to yours: "Hey, that's not bad." I don't know why "Peavey" sometimes summons up visions of cheese in my head, but it's unfair and unwarranted. Some nice things you pulled out of that.
I gigged a Peavey Profex for a while back in the 90s, in combo with a JCM800 and Marshall cabs. It was pretty cool and could make some good tones. Being the first big rack thing I owned, it really opened me up to understanding how to craft a signal chain and manage gain staging. I replaced it with a GSP 2101, but would have kept it around if I had the $ at the time.
These were popular in my neck of the woods. Everybody played Peavey stuff, because that’s what the local shop had. And Ibanez guitars. A typical hard rock/metal rig would’ve been an RG550 (or similar model), with a Peavey amp (5150, or Ultra, or maybe even a Rockmaster preamp with a Classic series power amp, into a Peavey 4x12 with Sheffields), and one of these units for fx. And of course, ran thru Peavey PA gear. Including a hernia-inducing rack with at least two CS-800 power amps.
I have used this unit for many years. It has a bunch of musical patches that are useable. Right now it is having trouble staying on long enough to use. I looked under the hood and found : a Motorola 5600 chip, a Sony Japan CXk58 chip, a Peavey Addverb chip, and an Intel P08C3 chip. That's a lot of processing! However, when I enquired to a LA shop about a repair, he quoted a high shop rate, and he suggested I look for a used one online. There aren't any. That tells me they are either still working or the faulty ones are gone. If you have one, congradulations. I'm going to hang on to mine until I can find someone to bench test it and fix it.
I called Peavey and the problem is at the battery for memory where there is oxidation at the”feet” and it affects the operation. A new battery will be installed by my tech and I’ll be good to go.
Never knew peavey did rack units...you can tell it's 90's from the peavey logo 😂 pretty cool. You know I'm gonna smile when you bust out a Sabbath riff.
Actually seeing that clipping light has reminded me, could you do some sort of instructional thingio on the in and out levels on the H90 and how to avoid clipping. The simple output vol on the H9 makes sense but the way the 90 has it baffles me...must be the cold and dark where I am😂
Frets on the SE were solid. I had to widen the 4th string nut slot a little bit, I swapped the tuners out for the PRS locking tuners and I adjusted the saddle heights on the bridge a little bit. Otherwise spot on!
Not over the top clownish. Fairly workman like and conservative but still able to throw down. Speaks to where they were made at the time. Rep Mississippi!
Except for the Eddie stuff and those Classic tube amps, Peavey to me was kind of a second tier copycat company in the 90s. They put out a lot of gear like this. Not exactly the Behringer of 90s, but kind of close.
Well. I think one is better off with a Roland GP16. This Peavey FX does not have any character. It's not bad, just anemic. I would rather choose a Yamaha FX770, and that unit is actually bad but has character.
Real "Racks" were better in the 90's but then people started using bottlenecks as pipes to use the stuff...and the zombie apocalypse began...As Whitney Houston said "Rack is wack...just use freebase"
What's an under-appreciated rack unit I should try?

Yeah used prices have gone silly. Couldn't give this stuff away a few years ago.
@@LeonTodd People are realizing the value of a lot of the reverb/delays and the depth of programmability in these old units

Another Peavey rack unit was the Peavey Transtube FEX.
Adrian Smith had one in his rack for a while.
Ooooh these look cool
We had one of those in the shop back in the day, the effects section is almost identical to the Addverb.
It would be nice if the model of the device and its year of manufacture were in the title of the video :)

It's totally fine yet unremarkable!
Peavey's alright, they did the 5150 and other such beasts.
I have a Bandit the sounds pretty good into a cabinet with decent speakers.

I had a Peavey PROFEX II for years. I loved it.

I still have a Peavey Profex II with midi controller sitting in my studio rack. I had a Peavey Addverb at one point as well as the Multiverb.

🤘
I loved hearing NIB too 😊
Blast from the past. I used to have one of these with a Peavey Tubefex. It was a big deal back in the day.
Did the tubefex cover some of this territory?
Yeah it had verbs but I had money to burn. Lol

Did you have to do anything setup wise when you got your DGT? Did you keep the original pickups? How was the fret work?
Frets on the SE were solid. I had to widen the 4th string nut slot a little bit, I swapped the tuners out for the PRS locking tuners and I adjusted the saddle heights on the bridge a little bit. Otherwise spot on!
@@LeonTodd alrighty, PRS SE DGT on order (I spent a few more bucks for the burst and birds). Thanks for the recommendation!
Hey LT, if there was a bad sound in that thing I'll have to listen back. Looks a little sleeper.
Who knows what kind of battery is there? and what is its function?
Addverb is basically a Tubefex without the preamp section, for those who wonder if there is a link
A cheeky bit of NIB too✌
Absolutely fantastic 😊❤
Thanks a lot 😊
Not familiar with any of their rack units? 😱 TG Raxx is great, Rockmaster is legendary
Marshall jfx-1 Next?
Had one 30 + years ago that I bought with the jmp-1
The delay and reverb were passable from memory... didn't do alot else😅
That's actually right at the top of my list to try, they seem so hard to come by!
@@LeonTodd
Good luck finding one👍🏼
I'd really like hearing your thoughts on it!
