Hey congrats on getting the CS80 pier, do you mind if i ask what you paid
for it?
Agreed Roland SRV330 is a great reverb unit. The big brother Roland R880 is
even better.. you can pick them up quite cheap too sometimes.
(Roland SDE330 is the delay btw)

> It has all kind of great reverbs included, from short gated drum reverbs over great plate reverbs, room, etc... 'till several very beautiful cathedral reverbs, all basically present in excellent factory patches but with enough user patches that you can define yourself. The "Dark Cathedral" patch is awesome pretty known.
