This is the piece many of you know and love, I'm putting it FS here
first because the folks on RAP appreciate these things.
If I don't get any bites here, I'll put it up on Ebay in a while...
After owning a couple of them, I've come to the realization that:
1. I'm more of a "reverb as an effect guy"
The Sony does rooms/chambers/plates very well, but it doesn't have that
effecty-gooey kinda sound that I prefer
In particuliar this unit is very good at doing small spaces without the
"bb's in a coffee can sound" that cheaper verbs give you
2. It's pretty deep parameterwise and my brain finds the
Lexicon/TC/Yamaha interfaces easier to work.
I bought this one about six months ago, at the time it showed up (from
a broker house) with a dead battery, so they took it back and replaced
the battery.
So the new battery has a full charge (this is a major plus with the
R7), the manual is included (not a great manual but it's nice to have)
and the unit is in great shape.
Drop me a line if you are interested...I'm in the greater DC area if
you want to do a local deal.
I have had one of these for about a year now, bought on Scott Dorsey's
recommendation, I think. It is the only piece of gear I have ever
owned that the presets work so well, I have not bothered to learn how
to tweak the umpteen million parameters it has in it.
I mainly record jazz, so natural reverbs were my aim. These sound good
even when cranked into "obviously added artificial reverb" territory.

I know it has my recommendation... and I love the tweakability.
