3010.1Cheap Reverb?POLAR::KFICZERESat Dec 17 1994 17:139
    	Has anybody checked out Radio Shacks pocket reverb and effects
    unit? I'm not sure if they still make it but a couple of months back I
    saw one at the local and I must say it did spark some curiosity.
    	I think I am pretty correct to assume it's junk but, for $40
    (if I remember,it was sporting a chorus and some other effect) and
    myself useing a '73 bassman with no reverb, I was a little interested

    Spend a few more clams and get an old Alesis Microverb.  You can get
    'em for about $70 US these days and they sound good and hold up well. 
    I can't imagine actually using that RatShack junk on a guitar signal.

    	Thanks for the response guys.(and the mail).I seem to have struck a
    nerve with that RatShack reference. I guess it was a little mis-worded.
    When I was writing, although I did mention it was "junk" I guess I
    didn't mention that I was just curious about it in a
    sitting-at-home-with-my-practice-amp situation. Thanx again.
