Midiverb II came out almost two decades ago and has been surpassed by many
models from the same house.
It's still a rather funky cheap reverb/fx unit. If you already have a couple
of good main processors and in contrast to that only need something cheap
and cheerful to add spice to an element within the mix, more often than not
you'd find a preset or two that's up to the task. That it's preset-only and
no editing possible always seemed to be a blessing in diguise to me.
Especially since navigating through the well-organized preset banks is a
breeze. You may never need the manual, but the original presets chart is
quite handy.
It's not supposed to be your main reverb, though.
