From Our Research Team:

The Last Word In Effects Processors! Featuring New VSS3 Technology!

The M3000 has arrived at Sweetwater, and it sounds incredible! Packed with 24-bit architecture, the M3000 Studio Effects Processor is the result of years of research in reverberation. And it was well worth the effort! The M3000 dual-engine stereo processor has a full menu of signal processing algorithms including reverb, delay, chorus, flange, tremolo, dynamic EQ, gate, soft compression and much, much more. It works fast and is extremely easy to use; presets can be edited and stored in RAM or via PCMCIA card slot, and the back panel features inputs for AES/EBU, S/PDIF, TOS Optical, ADAT, MIDI and Analog I/Os. the M3000 might be the best sounding, most versatile, and easiest to use reverb currently available. Excellent for a huge range of application: studio, live, post production, etc. You've never heard a processor with this level of realsim. For truly professional processing, think the M3000!

Sounds great live

by Brian from Tucson, AZ
August 30, 2012
Music Background: pro musician
Got this for live application, with a Yamaha M7CL mixer (AD8 preamps) and Meyer PA. With the detail in those tops, our onboard effects etc all came up short. Tried a few rack units including the M-One... read more [+] and a couple Lexicons, and decided to stick with TC and go with the M3000. I'm not a studio guy, but I've heard a couple dozen processors live and this is by FAR my favorite. I find that the VSS-3 models in this unit are a perfect union of 'real' and 'lush' that is musically inspiring. Highly recommend. close [-]
