I should definitely try it with an echoplex tape echo ^^ for the guitar it\u2019s unbeatable : modern digital, virtual, even analog delays can\u2019t reach the ep3.
Then, about reverb you\u2019re certainly right. I\u2019d have to compare some low bits machines with altiverb which is a really great convolution IR reverb : the best reverb ever made : it’s supposed to sound like an emu II playing on some speakers, in an acoustic environment, and recorded, very very close to what it would sound like, recorded in the reality. I\u2019d advise you to test it and tell us.

+ effects processors
For years I have been a tad frustrated how the EII
sounds through modern day effects processors.
As a result, I was using a DP4 and DP/4+ (they sound a little different) but
still was off to my ears. I would also sample the EII and use
VST's.
Still not satsatisfied. Something about the EII's engine just didn't
sound right tonally to me through these
processors. Recently I started picking up 12bit
processors. Wow, what a difference. I think the EII
sounds so good with units as the original Alesis Midiverb (12bit tabletop unit)
and Midifex. And the Korg DVR1000.
Warning, the old Alesis units reverb tales just crumble in 12bit
crust. It's crazy. So does the echo unit. But
the limited bandwith and bit depth really seems to sound more congruent with
the EII's filters and sampling engine. I guess it depends
what you're trying to achieve. Older processors and the EII is instant
lo-fi bliss. With the right presets and
the right tones from the EII, the air achieved from the 12bit reverb processors
can sound so much more lush verses,
an EIII and say like a TC / Eventide / Lexicon. I know that's a bold
statement and a lot of variences in there, but this
has been my experience with these machines. A space echo or spring
reverb would sound very cool with the EII also I would think.
And would probably match up nicely with the way the EII sounds.
