Why this unit

I went looking for rare reverbs with no digital or software copy, and found the ADR 68K. It came out in 1986, with a 68000 processor, 16-bit converters at 32 kHz and 8 seconds of memory. The engineers had to use unusual math to fit reverbs and effects into that, and it gave the unit a sound I do not hear in modern plugins.

On an infinite reverb, turn it up and play the high and low damping like an instrument. Walls of noise and reverb rise and fall. It is the washed-out, endless pad sound I looked for over many years, converter grit and all.
