Roland SRV-2000
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.8 месяцев назад
The Roland SRV-2000 is one of those classic old Japanese reverbs that while not perfect, is certainly perfect in some situations, and in particular for snare! Yes it is grainy at times, perhaps a little too bright and the reverb tails are not the smoothest, but it is these characteristics that give the Roland SRV-2000 it's mojo and a place in your studio.

The Yamaha REV7 was more affordable than the REV1 and found a home in many studios world wide. People seem to either love or hate these old Yamaha reverbs, in fact the Yamaha REV7 would have to be one of the most polarizing reverbs there is, with no in between it seems. But make no mistake, there is much love for this classic 1980s reverb! Learn more about the Yamaha REV7 www.vintagedigital.com...

Roland SDX 330 Full Video with Samples Coming Soon!
Cool Could you do a video on the dbx 150X Type I Noise Reduction. I have one and not sure what/how it works.
Thank you. Interesting to learn a bit of recording history.
It's ironic that Blackmer is most famous for the opposite of what he was originally trying to accomplish with his first few products.
Can someone tell me? Can this effects machine be used in a DJ setting?
Dreamy
Sound very convincing but then I wonder what happens to the audio track that is sent out from the analogue console to the 990 processor, processed at 16 bit 44.1 kHz and brought back into the console. Surely due to the low sampling rate, there’s expected that some useful audio from the analogue signal would get chopped off. No?
It's 20bit. And if its used for reverb, only the wet signal will go through the unit.
Thanks for the History lesson!

Sound of the 80s right here!
A dream machine.
Those vocals were damn great max 80s power !!
What a beautiful and high level production, a pleasure to watch ❤️
Thank you VERY much!
I have one. I paid 3.5 k 3 years ago. There is no end of what you can do with this. I also have an Eventide. 2 different beast. No regret whatsoever. I was told it would be too much for me. I agree but I'm having a hell of a good time. :)
Informative
My favorite machine..!
i came here from your website, its a cool site man, really nice. i love old gear too and hope you can make a repositary for all info on it
We are working towards that, everyday new gear is added. Thanks for your kind words!
I've got a few now (a 160VU, a 165, pair of 160A's and an Audio-Scape 260 which is an excellent clone version of two 160VU's) but _man,_ I wish I had known better back when I was in high school and saved all the money I made from my restaurant job. Back then (mid-to-late 1990's) 160VU's _pairs_ went for +/- $600, 162's and 165's would go $200/$250 and the latter 160X/XT/A's could go for anywhere from $50 to $150. Not to mention how cheap 1176's, 1178's, LA-3A's, and Pultec EQ's were. _Ughh!_ I get physically sick just thinking about it. The State college in my town had a recording arts program and back then they were fully committed to going digital and were selling stuff like that. They also ran and housed a radio station and were liquidating gear at that time. Pultecs, 1176's and 78's, CBS and Altec compressors, Urei "Little Dipper" EQ's, EV RE20's and original Shure SM7's etc. etc. I had _multiple_ opportunities to buy that stuff but naively, I thought I'd always have an opportunity to buy others down the line and although I knew it was useful stuff, I didn't realize just _how_ useful. _Ha!_ What a fool I was. Now I kust after this stuff. To this day my friend's father still has two "silver face" (Rev H?) 1176's, a pair of Pultec program EQ's, a pair of LA-3A's and several CBS Volumax broadcast compressors that he modded into _awesome_ units that sound incredible on lots of stuff but especially vocals and bass and a stash of RE20's and SM7's. All of which he bought from that college here in town for a price that today wouldn't get you _one_ LA-3A or pair of 160VU's.
I like this version of Don’t Lose My Number.
A great resource - your website!
Nice and like the video aesthetic
Nice and like the video and website aesthetic.
I've never used hardware processors. Saw your channel on my feed and this video didn't disappoint. Since I use emulations of some of these units, it's only right I learn about them. Looking forward to watching the Distressor video too🎉
I bought one of these the year it came out for guitar. It listed at $2000. It was the best multi-effects processor on the market at the time. Absolutely loved the unit! To my great disappointment though, it was Korg's last attempt at making rack mounted multi-fx processors. After that they went exclusively to more simplistic floor mulit-fx crap that I never liked and never bought. Zoom and Yamaha went in the same stupid direction after a few years. Roland resisted this direction for a long time to their credit coming out with the GP-16 and then GP-100 before finally following suit. When the Korg A1 came out as great as it was, it had competition because that same year Zoom came out with the Zoom 9010 which was a single rack space (but extremely deep) very high quality quad configured multi-FX processor which also listed for $2000 but as good as that was it still wasn't quite as unique, useful, and inspirational as the Korg A1 for a progressive guitarist in my opinion, though I will say the Zoom had equal sound quality. I'm sure much of that was because Zoom made the chips for Korg back then. The only thing I didn't like about the Korg A1 was if you were going to use it for on-the-fly playing, you had to use it with it's own foot controller because trying to use a MIDI foot controller was useless since the MIDI channel changes were very slow. That was a big flow for this unit. Also the expanded FX card didn't come out until like two years after the unit was out, only the memory card was available.
Compare it with Alesis Quadraverb 1 please, Thanks
I see lots of 118 love all over the net, but 119 is the GOAT
Good stuff...
👍
Just got another cassette portastudio in 2024 they are easier to use than the digital ones
What about the awesome 166 stereo with gate from the 80s and 90s?
It is a 'brief' history, not a complete history.
My favs are the dbx118 and the dbx566. That 118 is especially hella fun!
Great Demo!!!
You omitted the 163X Over Easy Compressor. Half rack mono unit with a mounting bracket system, so you could build your own stereo version. Unbalanced I/O. Stereo link via TRS. It had an extra Hi Z input on the front and just a level pot and a horizontal fader marked MORE at the right end. Clearly targeted for guitar- and bass players. I didn’t get the soft knee concept at the time, I just thought the unit sounded cool. My limited budget prevented me from buying a proper stereo unit. This unit allowed me to buy one half at a time😎
We do have information for the dbx 163X on or website now: www.vintagedigital.com.au/dbx-163x/
@@VintageDigital 👍
Awesome history lesson, Peace, Sal 🎸
I miss TC6000 VSS3 and VSS4 in this list. Great video btw
I got to have at least, 8 tracks!! I love my tascam 688!!
Shout-out to the overlooked silver-sided 903 compressors made for the 900 racks. 202C "Gold Can" VCA's were used in a LOT of classic late 70's / early 80's machinery - the original SSL Quad Bus compressor comes to mind.
Ah the memories!
Informative
i bought this Reverb when new , it got lost in the mists of time was sold probably ,now decades later i have it again :} in great condition, just found out there is a secret delay mode , power off power on holding reverb write and room simulate button to enable this feature, shout out to leon Todd for this reveal :}
Svp merci
Svp schémas de branchements cable au console yamaha analogique mc2404 merci ❤
Rev500 sounds great! How does it compare to Yamaha SPX2000? What’s the difference? I’m new to Yamaha.
Love this unit. Have one in my guitar rig, and 2 in my studio rack. Absolutely love it...
This is the coolest channel I’ve subscribed to in YEARS
Wish i'd kept my 244. I had it fully serviced. Its ergonomics were ideal 4 the home studio. I replaced it with the 246 .. that's 6 into 4. Serviced that too, only slightly bigger, more features, still have it. Love those honkin' gr8 VUs. All so perfect for a small analogue home studio
What's your opinion sonically of the 244 vs the 246?
Thank you, it's the best channel to discover vintage hardware reverb !
I was hoping to hear the symphonic preset on ckean and lead guitar compared to spx90
Don't forget the awesome hand-build Raumzeitmaschine from Berlin-based Tegeler Audio Manufaktur. Sets new standards for hardware reverbs. www.youtube.com/@Tegeler
Go a little easier on the voice over. Sometimes you have to take a few baubles off the tree.
Ha-ha-ha .. hafta remember that one 🤣😂🤣
Sounds great and good demo! Which is the like buttah preset that everyone keeps talking about?
