It would be hard to satisfy everyone with an on-board effect like
reverb. An effects loop (out and in jacks on the preamp), with a
wet/dry mix knob on the 'tron panel... That would be an inexpensive
improvement. We could put an old EchoPlex in the loop or the latest
multi-effects processor....(or both!), and control it from the
keyboard.

P.S. M400 spec sheet: I recall seeing a S/N ratio of -55db. Hard
to believe? Maybe more like -45db on a good day.
