A real beauty, April 27, 2006
This review is from: Aphex 204 Aural Exciter
With the right eq you can push the bass drum to the limit, make vocals very real, guitars sound boomy and scary bassy sound without losing the crunchy sound. A real beauty. The only thing is that since it dosent have digital outs or ins can get a little "hissy"

The magic box!, April 9, 2011
This review is from: Aphex 204 Aural Exciter
I've owned this product for about 2 years now and all I can say is WOW what a difference this unit makes in your overall sound. I'm not sure what the reviewer was talking about who said that it added a lot of noise to the signal. He must have had a bad unit as mine you can't even tell that it's on when it's bypassedor when it's engaged and the settings all turned down.
I use this as my final "magic box" when using with my live setup. It's the last in my chain before going to my QSC powered speakers and they bring the entire mix to life. My Aphex brings out all the detail in the high end, and adds a nice bottom end to the sound without making it sound boomy at all. If I had to replace this unit because of theft/fire or whatever else happens in life, I would happily pay twice the price if that is what they asked for.
I can't say enough good things about this product and now am seriously looking at the new Aphex "channel" specifically for my lead singer that can sound somewhat "thin" at times.
I love my Aphex!!!

Not all it's cracked up to be., May 10, 2008
This review is from: Aphex 204 Aural Exciter
I have owned this for a year, and it contributes more electronic noise than anything else in my entire signal chain..even more than my guitar amp! What electronic junk..
They must have made their reputation on a lot better piece of gear than this, because if you have a decent sound in the first place, this will be a *huge* disappointment to you.
This is the first piece of gear that you could throw overboard, and never miss it..ever. After an entire year, I still cannot say that this cheesey box has contributed anything at all to my music production..money better spend on something that actually delivers.
I learned this one the hard way..when the product website doesn't have any samples of the before and after sound, then you can be sure that the company is wanting you to buy the story, not the sound.. If it actually sounded good, they would let you have a listen. What a total waste of time and money.
