The 'monster-truck' Yamaha Rev1, a 4 rack U height beastie of a reverb with comprehensive remote control unit.. This was the pinnacle of yamaha's studio FX kit line back in the mid 80's and spawned the cheaper reduced-size Rev7 model as well which came along circa 19985-6 , and offers quality 'verbs with tons of control - quite how the reverbs etc measure up to todays cheaper reverbs is another matter and open to subjective discussion, but sure enuff these units have plummetted down to the mid-upper hundreds in the UK, seems age just makes even good things depreciate in the FX world eh!...
Anyways there it is listed, the Yamaha Rev1 ... here's the bitz i could find out spec' wise..
Up to 40 early reflections each with a 4 band eq, and up to a 99 second reverb time !!! - um, this machine does it.. you can think of it more as a reverb synthesiser really, with prettyt much everything adjustable ... You get a nifty remote with an lcd panel which shows stuff like envelopes etc with graphic's, and interestingly this remote held up to 9 or 10 ram memory locations so if you took your remote to another Rev1 equipt studio, you could take your edit home with you in the remote ram!!... cool idea i spose....
So... anyone used one?.. not me.... user comments please if you have tales to tell & memories to re-live etc :)...
