I love giving my opinion! :-)

I have an Alesis MidiverbII.  It was $30.  So far its the only digital effect I
have ever fallen in love with.  Its 12bit so its a little trashy/warm sounding,
yet clean enough to be a good reverb.  I particularly like any of the "Dark"
settings on it.  

Major drawback with it IMHO besides the worlds worst power connector, is that it
has RCA jacks on the back.  

I tried some of the "newer" alesis reverbs and didnt like the sound.  Just too
clean for my taste.
