TC Electronic Reverb 4000 Reviews

The best reverb that I listen, if you have a small studio and wanna have high quality reverb, this is the machine that you need. I am really lucky to have this unit, the price is another good thing about this unit, this is in the level of Bricasti, and is the 3rd part of the price. I am really happy

I've had a System 6000 connected to our SSL C200 digital console for 8+years. As much as I LOVE the 6k, I've always wished it had just a little more processing power so I could have a great stereo plate along with all the 5.1 FX we currently suck up CPU on the 6k.

Enter the 4000!!! With the ICON of the System 6000, I can now control all parameters of the 4000, just as if it were part of the 6000... GREAT OPTION!!! I can also access it using the ICON software package on our Mac Pro, which is a great way to edit and build setups.

BTW, we also updated our System 6000 MKI to a MKII and LOVE the improvements. Thank you, TC.

I love this reverb. I am a fan of the old school sound. I like rich warm plates, EMT sound on Reverbs.
This reminds me of a EMT. With some tweaking on factory presets you will add Noxzema on a sun burned mix or vocals etc. I used it daily until my studio roof leaked and had to send it to Sweetwater to repair it. (AMAZING repair service door to door! THANKS!!)
Did not realize how much it added to my mixes until it was gone!! Get a 2mb SRAM card for it to save your hard edited work on reverbs. You will enjoy the way it places things in your mix. This unit shines when you start tweaking and adjusting things. You will get your WOW when you tweak a plate setting and save it. Then you go..WOW that sounds like a real studio reverb..but wait I am a real multi million dollar studio with a great reverb!

Just buy it, you will not part with it after a month of using it. Thanks to Sweetwater and Nick Church for guiding me to this. I love it. I have been doing business with Sweetwater for so long I forgot. I am semi retired from composing for TV and film. Had my day and enjoying the rewards. I Love Rupert Neve equipment and sound. I made my mark in Hollywood by choosing the best sound of analog warm smoothness mixed with good composiion . This unit gets you there! A composer friend working on a current TV series ask me how i get it right so much on high end pro equipment?. I told him he needs to stop smoking bad weed! He laughed. I then said Sweetwater and Nick Church.....they have hit the mark for years on equipment and price, then you get the gig!. Don't hesitate to buy it. Make sure to get the 2mb SRAM card for the slot. Nothing like running from a flooding studio and being able to grab your years of presets in your pocket. See the "Real Sound" is.... the sound of a box being opend from Sweetwater with long awaited gear. Also my kids and wife fight over the candy that comes with it. I use whats in the box to make money for the candy in our family. That is what the TC Electronic Reverb 4000 does so very well.

Cheers!

All I have to say this is the best reverb unit in its range from $2500 to $3000. I had the M3000 at first then I recently upgrade to Reverb 4000, I'm very happy with it, sound clarity, detail and full. The best thing is the unit has packed with all algorithm from TC M5000 and Reverb 6000, the true vintage reverb emulations. You can change your sound with TC icon software by 1 click of the computer mouse. EMT250 sound is way beyon anyone expectation. I love it.

I was very excited about getting this in the mail. The first instrument I used it on some were some horns and my eyes just lit up with amazement. The sound this produces is huge and realistic. It will give any instrument you put it on its own place in you mix by adding its depth utilizing its flexability.

The software that comes with it is also very useful and very easy to use. Every parameter can be adjusted to your liking and it also has a card you can buy to save more presets if needed.

The only reason I didn’t give it a full 5 stars is that I, like most mixing engineers, like to use an array of different reverbs to give different dimension to my mixes. For the price its sold at its definitely isn’t the home studio reverb, but you get every red cent you spend and then some with this effect.

Its one of those pieces you buy that once you have it, you don’t know what you did without it before and don’t know what you would do without it later. It’s the FIRST reverb I use in almost every mix. It has never failed me and I doubt it ever will.

A very clean, clear, and versatile reverb unit and I like it a lot. No complaints whatsoever about operation and sound. Very realistic reverbs and lots of eminently tweakable presets. Only I had to ask myself...since it costs four or five times as much as something in the Lexicon MX series of reverb processors, is it really four or five times BETTER SOUNDING than those cheaper ones, and unfortunately, the answer is NO, not to my ears. It is a definitely a step up, but if price is a major concern to you in building your project studio, I'd say invest your money in better mics or better preamps first, and worry about higher end reverbs later.

This really is a stellar box and if all you've heard are convolution and plug-in reverbs, you'll be startled at the sound.

However, it is advertised (here and by TC themselves) as a 96KHz true stereo reverb - and it is not. At 96KHz the stereo inputs are summed to mono on input; true stereo only works at 48 (or 44.1) KHz. This is an important distinction, as the true stereo sound is what you buy an expensive box like this for...that TC and retailers are mum on this is a shame.
