This unit is absolutely incredible, just running it in stereo and being able to use 4 algorithms is beyond anything which came before it. I own eclipse , DSP 7000 and H3000 DSE. each unit has its own sound. I really think you can get absolutely close to the predecessors of this unit if you desire that . Cant wait for the updates of course but if they never updated this unit I could work with it for years. Way to go eventide for creating this dedicated hardware unit!
