No comparison between both.

The DN-780 is thinner sounding and has less character.

The AMS is all character.

Sometimes its the right thing and sometimes its too much.

I put the RMX16 in the same category as the Eventide SP2016.

oth must haves if you do any popular music.

*****I couldnt disagree more.......... I have a DN780 and I was going to comment how much the Files Posted with RM16 and snare sounded alot like my DN780. Very nice dense reverbs! And very smooth decays! Excellent on drums and VOX*****
Setting the AUX trims In and out on the console makes a big difference on the effects! . And the great analog factor (caps and transformers)some units sound better than others . How the Digital effect Is brought In and Out of the unit has alot to do with the sound. The DN 780 has transformers on the input and outputs.
Sounds great I love It!. You still see It in all of the major studios..........JSL
