Yamaha REX50 Circuitbent
Ships in deranged working order following a full bending courtesy of Circuitbenders. Stock image used - photo update incoming. An interesting “cheap” 80s digital unit – now certifiably BONKERS thanks to the modifications. Just wonderful.
These are interesting little boxes. Digital reverb, delay, modulation, gate, compression and more all in one. They were a (sort of) follow up to the SPX90 Mk1 with added distortion "for guitarists". Feature-packed for the time, as you can imagine with all these options, once you add re-clocking and the other modifications they are wild and can take you in many, many different directions. See the photos for an idea of the mods added
The nine kinds of effects included are:
- Reverb: 4 types - Hall, Room, Vocal and Plate.
- Early Reflection: 4 types-Hall, Random, Reverse and Plate.
- Delay and Echo: with either separate or combined feedback.
- Modulation: 4 types - Flange, Chorus, Phase and Symphonic.
- Pitch Change: 3 types - MIDI controlled with feedback; 2 pitches in stereo or mono.
- Gate: a noise gate/envelope shaper and gated reverb.
- Compressor: a delay and compressor.
- Pan: auto-panning.
- Distortion: basic 'overdrive' distortion plus nine combinations with reverb, delay/echo and modulation effects.
Info mostly taken from this excellent 1988 REX50 review from Sound On Sound.
