I doubt if I am technically correct, but my opinion of the sonics goes like this:-
The 480 has say 4 engines. Two full stereo reverbs.
The 91 has two engines, which can be harnessed together in a single reverb.
These two 91 engines working together on one reverb sound like a single one of the 480 engines.
Not bad at all, but the 480 absolutely rules.

yeah, the 91 is wimpy.... i actually liked the sound of the Nuverb TDM card more... the only thing i liked in the 90/91 better was having stereo width on a 360 degree LFO.. and that was for one crazy WTF effect.... i actually found this used on a record if anyone is curious what it sounds like...

it's on the NIN/Oliver Stone/Natural Born Killers soundtrack... i'll have to find the specific track.

I still love the PCM 60 for it's simplicity..... same reason i eventually want a princeton/eventide 2016.... one knob, one function, learn your instrument, no pages.... it also forces me to get a unique setting each time... interact with the music.. make a unique decision... instead of dialing up a preset.

it's the difference between having a modular synthesizer and a rompler.... i also like to "play" the knobs when i'm printing effects so i can emphasize lil things and make ear candy... all the type of stuff which comes out in repeated listening...

or stuff you'd do with a LARC/midi slider box.

one of the coolest things about the LXP-15 was the FIVE cv pedal inputs..... you can modulate parameters with a modular synth or cv/gate sequencer... actually, erase that from your mind... the price of LXP-15s will go thru the roof now like the jam mans did a few years ago.

these arent the droids you're looking for *waves hand*
you don't need to see his identification *waves hand*
he can move along...
