REX50
1987 (Jun.)Initially sold for ¥49,800 Features: • Reverb: state-of-the-art digital technology reproduces the acoustic reflections of various environments. Other reverb effects include early reflection, gate reverb, and revers gate. • Delay and echo: independently programmable right and left channel delay and echo effects with adjustable feedback allow creation of a broad spectrum of delay effects. • Distortion: an extremely powerful and flexible distortion effect, by itself or with other reverb, delay, and modulation effects – making the REX50 essentially two effects units in one. • Modulation: the expressive capability of the popular modulation effects (Stereo Flange, Chorus, Stereo Phasing, and Symphonic) are all here as well, with the added flexibility of a wide programming range. • Gate: a high-performance noise gate with a fully programmable ADR envelope. Extensive triggering functions enable creation of an incredible range of unique sounds. • Compressor: compression can be used to sustain sounds (such as a guitar), or smooth out the volume extremes of particularly dynamic sounds (such as vocals).
