Eventide Eclipse...Anything else out there similar yet less expensive???

I'm looking to get the high quality effect of the "warm hall" setting on the Eventide Eclipse but without the 2 grand price tag...Anyone know of anything else out there that can compete without having to eat ramin noodles for the next year? haha

note: this would be used for live vocals...

Thanks!
Mike.

I've got an Eclipse and a TC G-Force and much prefer the G-Force for reverb

No because I like Eventide delay better than TC!

Since I would only be using this unit for the vocal reverb "warm hall" is there anything out there of this high quality that's just a verb? The eclipse and G Force have many different effects right?

The effects on the Axe-FX are damn good, and you get the modeling functionality along with it, for what equates to an incredibly good value.

I agree pick up an Axe-fx standard for less.

A Kurzweil Rumour can deliver world-class reverb (same algos as the KSP8) for under five bills.


cheers,

I'm bumping this cause I'd love to hear some more options.

If I spent the bones needed for the eventide I'd be in the doghouse with the Wife for a year!!

Industry standard would be a Yamaha SPX2000. Even the older SPX990's are still in use for their reverbs.

SPX-90 is great (ask Mike Sterm)
Rocktron Intellifex is great ( ask any 40 year old dude with a reck system)
etc etc.
An Eventide Eclipse is an AWESOME tool. So is PCM-60/70/80/81/90/91.
For guitar PCM-80/81.

I'd have the Eclipse!
