M-VAVE 

MINI UNIVERSE

The company is not new as they make wireless communications for the Military and Emergency services for several years. These clients demand equipment reliability and function and brands that fail can literally get blacklisted. Of course music is more than a robust & usable mechanical device. Still, it is good to know a product is unlikely to prematurely malfunction and the company have a rep in general for making quality product.

The layout has Decay, Mix, a 9 voice select switch and 3 Parameters that are assigned to specific functions that are relayed to the Verb you choose. 

For example you may wish to fade in an ambient sound but on a Spring reverb you would want control over the springs natural chatter 

on its fade out.  

 

NEED TO KNOW 

In the digital world a new release of a chip can change things over night. A guys killer Strymon Big Sky verb can still sound killer but the chip can drop several times over 10 years it has been available making it possible by 2024 to be a budget chip. That said it takes a good algorithm/program to give you a great sound. Add to that if you use the whole chip for one or 2 sounds instead of 9 you can put more detail in the sound.

CONCLUSION 

__ Is it any good???  To be honest I do not know. I would expect it to be totally usable. 

Yes some sounds more than others. I expect the ambience Star Wars will sound good 

even with a few warts. Real world Rooms and even a Spring need a lot of detail to be convincing. In short a few sounds if applied right and not used as attention 

getters but as nice frame pushed back behind your guitar sound will pass 

the pro test. It was not long ago that you would have to pay $270 not $27 

for this quality of product.
