I've had an original since 89 and I used to use it on guitar all of the time until I got a Lex MPX1 which, imho, blew it away (although I think the QV may change patches quicker). On the subject of Digitech, take a look at the new GSP1101, fantastic modeller and fx unit (poor man's Axe-FX I call it, LOL)
My feelings about the Quadraverb were that it did reverb really well and also subtle chorusing but it's delays were pretty sterile (they do not degrade from what I remember) and don't expect to get a lush chorus out of it for a clean sound.
I remember seeing Gary Moore using one back in the day...sounded great...but then he was on the end of it heh
I also understand that the Q2 was a totally different beast.
Oh, i was thinking of the one made for a guitarist, gt? I love my qv first version and its not real noisey for a more busier mix, but its sound is so different than other outboard effects...its add nice trails and the eq's in it are to die for....
and for the price, the lexicon mx400 i own is very awsome using it with single effect, so smooth and soo clean and dead quite(can be used limitly as a pro unit)...i also had a TC 350...SUCKED using for home mixing,,,yuck
