Really versatile FX module, a lot of bang for the buck.
Simon De Rycke 11.06.2021
I almost exclusively use this module as a 'master' stereo-reverb (it is actually really stereo, I checked) in my rig. It's always patched at the end of the chain and I never turn it off completely, so I think it's safe to say I really like the sound of the reverb on this module.

Whenever I have a busy pattern going on (drums, bass, arps, ...) I use it on a very short setting with the dry/wet knob almost completely turned to dry (so only a little bit of reverb) and it really makes a preformance come to life.
When I have a slower patch (pads or cinematic stuff) I turn it up quite a lot to the point where everything almost drowns in the reverb tail and it still sounds really good. I've gotten compliments before on how good the reverb actually sounds from a guy that genuinely dislikes every digital module out there. To my ear it sounds better than most of the (free/stock) reverb-plugins in my DAW (albeit less tweakable of course).

All of the other effects are decent quality, I've tried them and they sound just great. The delay is really nice and simple and the overdrive/bitredux/... setting (red led) actually sounds a lot like a really overdriven analogue piece of hardware, it surprised me how warm it sounds even though it's completely digital. Don't expect it to add subtle warmth though, it really trashes the sounds you put into it into obliteration, but in the best possible way.

The only 'con' I can think of is in fact that it's a digital module, so sending too much gain into it distorts the sound in a not so great way. Luckily there is a led indicating when the module is clipping so you know when to turn the stuff going into it down.

Compact all-around FX
DShustov 02.04.2021
Compact, but powerful module, especially handy for some final effect processing. Wish to have stereo in, but for that size and price, still great. Algorithms sound big and smooth. Some reverb or subtle delay delivers dimension in any session.

Great Sounds in one module
Clashdj 30.06.2021
It´s my first experience with eurorack and so far this is one of those modules that does not disappoint, it is very intuitive, dynamic and with a high quality sound.

It´s a bit small and it makes it a bit difficult for me to move the knobs (fat fingers :) ), but this is good because it saves space in your rack.

Erica Synths modules 100% recommended.

Cool effects in a very small package
GARCON 21.10.2022
I like this. Compact with some good algorithms. I don't tend to tweak or modulate it much. I just add it to the path of something and dial it in,
I've tried sending my entire mix through the reverbs, just slightly wet and it worked really well.

If you want lots of control, look elsewhere but for something to add a little sparkle to a patch (or element of a patch) for not much money or space, this is hard to beat.

good little DSP
t3hh 04.01.2019
I usually prefer DSPs outside of case and this little DSP is only exception because it wont take any space at all but can be useful.

Sweet little multi fx module
ANVBS 02.08.2022
This is my first foray into the world of Eurorack, and I was looking for something that could have both delay and reverb on it.

I was pleasantly surprised at the plethora of options packed in such a small form factor. Great quality build as well.

This completely changed my mind about the Pico series (I initially thought it would be something pretty limited, boy was I wrong). I’ve proceeded to order a Pico voice and BBD and it’s on its way. Gonna get the LPG next!

Great little DSP
cablesaurus 26.03.2023
I primarily I use the reverb. I guess there there is only so much process shaping you can do with 3 knobs, but the output is stereo and it sounds great to me. It's built quite well, but it's really small - it gets lost behind the cables quickly and then turning those skinny pots takes some effort. For the price and footprint, it's a champ.

Nice sounding multi effect
foetsie 15.02.2019
Great sounding multi effect for eurorack in a small footprint. Sounds are very usable and quick to dial in, a nice pro is the stereo output with reverbs and delays. The knobs are a little fiddly and a little wobbly but thats inherent of the size and price I feel. The CV mod for the effect parameter is a great addition, although it would have been nice to modulate both of the paramaters.

DSP
azakim 12.10.2019
Very compact, yet powerful. Nice sounding effect with variety of use.
With stereo delay and reverb you can add nice stereo field to your mix from mono signal.
For the price, the quality is very good.
