Dear Studio Engineers,

I operate a very small home studio and am in the process of adding pieces to my setup. I am currently searching for a rack-mountable multi-effects processor. I have been looking at different brands and different models but without actually "playing" with them I cannot really know the full extent of the quality of each piece.

My budget is up to $500 at this point. I am looking for the most bang for my buck, obviously. Does anyone have any recommendations based on pieces that you own or have used?

I have looked at several different brands and models including TC Electronic, TC Helicon, Lexicon, and Behringer. I am open to any suggestion and detailed feedback on any multi effects rack unit.

Hi , I prefer to use TC Elec. Fireworks ...
Don't waste your money with cheaper colorfull Toys !
Good Luck .

I would highly recommend any Eventide unit you can get your hands on. My studio just purchased an Eventide Eclipse, and teh reverb, delay, and distortion on that thing is phenominal. It will probably be the only reverb I will ever use again. I strongly recommend that brand, a little pricey, but well worth it if you want to produce professional results
