Strenghts?

It does the short rooms and spaces really well.

Blends well in the mix.

Weaknesses?

Doesn't do the Lex thing with the modulated tails.

Complicated remote.

If you've got a 480L i would look at something else for a different flavor to compliment it.

I just picked up an R-880 and so far it's pretty cool. I'm looking for extra cards if anyone has some they want to get rid of. I seem to remember a thread where all the R-880 owners were trying to copy and trade cards. Did that ever happen ?

What is it that you like so much about it? How oes it doffer from the 480L

And lastly, what do you find yourself using it most on?

Thanks for the insight and advice!

i take it you think it is a great sound unit or at least uniquw, love tohear your extended thoughts on that too!

When it was originally released it was supposed to be its competition.


The Roland name and its klunky interface kinda squashed that idea.


I have both and sonically they are not interchangeable.


The R-880 disappears more in the mix which in some cases its whats needed and the 480L can stick out which is what's needed.


Personally for a compliment to a 480L i would look at an Eventide SP2016, and EMT 140 Plate, a Sony DPVS-77 and the ALtiverb plug with the impulses.


With these you can pretty much cover every vocal sound possible.

R880's were recently under discussion at the 3DAudio forum- you'll find some helpful info there, particularly as concerns service issues and maintenance-

I have a Roland VSR880 with VS card. And it can do dual stereo. I'm wondering. Are the R-880 and the VS effects comparable?

Two totally different animals that only coincidentally share "880" in their name.

I believe the VS stuff was some of the earlier COSM technology, fwiw.
