Vintage Alesis MicroVerb II 16-Bit Digital Reverb (Original 1988 Unit) - $55

Original 1988 Alesis MicroVerb II in 100% perfect working condition. This unit has a quality control stamp on the chassis dated 12-13-1988,  authentic 80s gear.

 It includes its original, almost-NOS Alesis power supply with the correct male-type pin plug.

Cosmetically, the unit shows some normal scuffs and signs of use from regular over the last few decades, but it is in overall great shape and structurally a tank. One non-original knob on input pot.

Sonically, it sounds fantastic. These early MicroVerbs are absolute sleeper units with a tone you just can't get from modern plugins. 

Personally, my favorite way to use this is as a front end for synthesizers (etc). If you intentionally push the input gain to overload the converters, it introduces a nice, musical saturation that gives things an incredible grit and presence.

From there, dial in the short verbs (like the Small Rooms or tight Gates) to instantly add massive width and space to a stereo track. It’s a wonderful, self-contained character box that also makes a highly dependable, foolproof aux reverb for live setups.

Packed carefully and shipped fast!
