I think the filter is outstanding. One thing that helped me get the most out of it is to NEVER put the Res above 60, and only to rarely put it above 40. Also the overdrive is nice when you need that.
The delay, DJ EQ, lofi (just for SRR), and all reverbs are perfectly serviceable.
I keep trying to get into the comb filter, and once in awhile it just magically clicks and I get a perfect sound. More often, I just can’t get anything from it. Highly dependent on the source material.
The phaser is the biggest disappointment to me. It just sounds awful. Too subtle or too tinny/drastic. I really wish there was a decent phaser in this box. The phaser from the EMU E4 line, please!
The lofi effect desperately needs a plockable master volume. When you turn up the overdrive, the volume is boosted so much, and there’s no way to bring it down at the plock or scene level, so you’re restricted to distorting everything in a part or nothing if you want to keep a reasonably even volume. I’ve been asking for that since day 1. Doesn’t seem like it could be a difficult thing to add. . .
