Thinking of getting an M3000...help please

[Hemmick Reef]

I have noticed a price drop in the UK for the M3000 reverb (£659). I have been using UAD-1 Realverb pro & SIR up to now but have never been happy, as the reverb sounds more like an effect than a truely saturated sound. I have tried the other demo verbs for UAD-1, and although good I still did not spend out for them.

Am I wasting my hard earned cash or will I be happy with the M3000?

Thanks

I own a M3000 and in my opinion it's one of the best sounding reverbs. Especially the rooms are very real sounding. With other reverbs you can hear it's a reverb effect, but with the M3000 it sounds like a real room. Very awesome.

That's what I am wanting to find out for sure as I am not able to test one.

Why don't you get a Powercore and VSS3? Less money, more instances than a single M3000, at least if it's the room algorithm you're after (VSS3 is the main M3000 algorithm).

Powercore unplugged is around £250 & Vss3 around £400 in the Uk, so it may be better to buy the hardware as it will hold its value better.

Thanks :wink:

Is it identical to the hardware though?
How mant stereo instances can run off one card?

That's impressive, I only get around 4 on my Element. The incredible DRV2 & NonLin2 are also available for Powercore which are only available on the M4000 & System 6000 otherwise.

I saw that deal from Thomann and am thinking of going for it.

buy it. I have the powercore with the VSS 3 since a few days and it is WAY better than everything I've ever tried software-wise. (and better than all UAD reverb-plugs)

greetz!

Hey, I saw this post, and I'm looking for a new reverb.

Does the VSS3 plugin have the multi effects that the M3000 hardware includes?

Also, if I buy the offer from Thomann can I sell the empty Powercore card as I already have PoCo Firewire?

Thanks
