Reverbs Delays
Because it is one of the most desired effects, the FX2000 provides 12 different reverb programs, so you always have the ideal reverb for your live performance or studio needs.
Reverbs include:
- CATHEDRAL
- GOLD PLATE
- SMALL HALL
- ROOM
- STUDIO
- CONCERT
- STUDIO
- STAGE
- SPRING REVERB
- AMBIENCE
- EARLY REFLECTIONS
Specialty reverbs include:
- REVERB - reverb is synthetically turned off after a predetermined amount of time
- REVERSE REVERB - reverb envelope is reversed - it slowly gets louder
Delays include:
- STEREO DELAY - delay is processed across the entire stereo image
- TAPE ECHO - simulates classic tape echo devices, pre-dating the advent of digital delays
- PING PONG - delay signal is "bounced" from left to right at an adjustable tempo
Much More than Just Reverb and Delay
The FX2000 has some of the best-sounding reverb and delay programs, but that's not all. It also provides excellent modulation effects (such as chorus, flanger and phaser), including special variations like musical pitch shifter, tremolo and even a rotary speaker simulation.
Modulation and Pitch Shifter FX:
- STEREO FLANGER (originally generated by playing back two synchronized "reel to reel" tape recorders with a finger rubbing on the flange of one of the take-up reels)
- VINTAGE FLANGER simulates a guitar fl anger stomp box
- JET STREAM FLANGER sounds like a classic analog flanger
- STEREO CHORUS (combines a slightly detuned signal with the original)
- ANALOG CHORUS simulates a guitar chorus stomp box
- VINTAGE CHORUS imitates a classic analog studio chorus
- ULTRA CHORUS creates the sound of an eight person chorus
- STEREO PHASER (combines a second, phaseshifted signal to the original)
- VINTAGE PHASER represents a guitar phaser stomp box
- DUAL PHASER processes the left and right channels separately
- ROTARY (simulation of the rotating speakers typically used on an organ) - Slow or Fast
- PITCH SHIFTER (changes the pitch of the original signal) - can be used to create harmonies with the original signal or replace it entirely with the altered pitch. Choices include stereo, two and three vocal pitch shifter
- VIBRATO - the peak frequency of the tone is periodically and uniformly changed (quickly or slowly)
- TREMOLO (common vintage guitar amplifier effect) - a fast or slow periodic variation in volume
- AUTO PANNING - signal is automatically sent from one side of the stereo image to the other, either once or multiple times
Dynamic FX:
- COMPRESSOR - reduces the dynamic range of the signal, maintains consistent signal level and thus avoids distortion associated with excessive input levels
- EXPANDER - effectively broadens the dynamic range of source signals while reducing background noise
- GATED REVERB - helps reduce background clutter by turning reverb off below a predetermined threshold level. Particularly effective on drum mics and vocals
- ANA. KOMPR/LIM. - similar to COMPRESSOR but with Limiting functionality
- ULTRAMIZER - analyses incoming signal and automatically applies compression across two independent frequency bands
- DENOISER - eliminates or reduces noise and other interference
- DE-ESSER - reduces or removes sibilance (Ssss sound) from signal
- WAVE DESIGNER - allows you to influence the envelope by adjusting Attack and Release of the signal
Psychoacoustic FX:
- EXCITER - adds artificially generated overtones to the original signal, increasing presence and perceived loudness without significant increase in signal level
- ENHANCER - functions much like a dynamic pitch equalizer
- ULTRA BASS - sub-harmonic processor combined with bass exciter and limiter
- STEREO IMAGER - divides the signal into middle and side signals, allowing individual signals to be amplif ed when desired and placed on the stereo image
- ULTRA WIDE - creates a broader stereo image
- BINAURALIZER - also creates a broader stereo image and compensates for crosstalk between both speakers
Filter/EQ FX:
- AUTO FILTER - influences the frequency response of a signal. Two filters are included: low pass allows low frequencies to pass and suppresses high frequency content; high pass does the exact opposite
- LFO FILTER - Controls the rate of oscillation effects
- PARAMETRIC EQ - allows you to control the bandwidth, frequency and amplitude of a signal
- GRAPHIC EQ - the sound spectrum is divided into eight (8) adjacent frequency bands, which can be cut or boosted, bandwidth is predetermined
Distortion FX and Amp Simulations
The FX2000 is also equipped with distortion, amplifier and speaker simulation including VOCAL DISTORTION, TUBE DISTORTION, GUITAR AMP, TRI FUZZ, SPEAKER SIMULATION, RING MODULATOR and LO-FI.
Special FX:
- VINYLIZER - adds clicks and/or noise to the signal, reminiscent of old vinyl records and tape machines
- SAMPLER - allows you to record and playback up to five (5) seconds of program material
- VOCODER - allows the input signal to modulate another signal (usually a synthesizer sound), creating the familiar "talking synthesizer" effect
- VOICE CANCELER - removes mono vocal parts from stereo recordings for "instant Karaoke"
- RESONATOR - simulates and oscillating system that amplifies a specific frequency
Our FX Combinations Go to 11
Sometimes you want to add a little (or a lot) of color to your reverb and delay patches. The FX2000 allows you to layer modulation effects like chorus, flanger, pitch or tremolo with your reverb or delay selections.
FX Combinations include:
- Chorus Reverb
- Flanger Reverb
- Leslie Reverb
- Pitch Reverb
- Delay Reverb
- Tremolo Reverb
- Phaser Reverb
- Chorus Delay

Come on it's a rack effects unit for under $150 don't expect perfection if your just using for home use. I was actually surprised that it was as good as it is for the price. I can live with the little bit of noise/ hissing in the background. Got everything I wanted it to have for vocal effects & sounds great without spending a months mortgage on other much higher quality builds. Good enough for me!

Yes it's totally functional & a great effects unit,more than I expected. I'm using it with an old Tascam mixer &wasn't expecting it to function with the analogue circuiting but it's operating great!

This thing is amazing. I hooked this up in parallel with a Behringer 31 frequency graphic equalizer connected to a Yamaha R-S700 receiver driving two Polk Audio TSi300 speakers and two old 80 watt Pioneer floor speakers (1980s vintage, but still functional) and the effects of the two working together are incredible. With 71 algorithms and 200 presets, which can all be custom edited to suit your tastes in sound and stored, you can create virtually any sound effect you desire. It does feature an equalizer effect and adjustable low cut, but its effect is nominal compared to the HD graphic equalizer so I don't use that, but there are 12 different edit modes so you can do virtually anything with it. Once adjusted, there is a Mix knob to increase or decrease the overall effect at a touch. It also has powerful output. I noticed very quickly I had to turn the gain down and there is a button select on the rear panel to go from +10db down to -4db which took care of the frequency clipping I noticed at higher volume settings initially. You do have to turn this on first and off last or you will get a pop through your speakers, but that isn't big deal. Given its functionality, it can't be beaten for the price.

A/D Converters are getting better and better. This unit stays in the house, and we're getting two more. We've owned, tried, and sold almost all the sub-$1000 rack FX units on the market for guitar-- TC GMajor/etc., Digitech 1101s, Lexicon MXs, Voodu Valves-- they all mute and remove tube chime and tube tone in our tube guitar racks. I tried this on a whim as an effects pedal replacement, and it's the cleanest digital box we've put in the racks with our vintage tube gear. It's that nice. You'd have to go over a grand to beat the tone, in a rack format. It's got nicer conversion than the 96k DEQ2496. I assume that's just newness? I think it's just shy of the Eventide H9 as far as preserving tube characteristics at both low and high gain. Spectacular for the price.Issues:There is a slight delay when switching presets. I'll use this with MIDI looping for live off/on if I need realtime FX switching.Also, if you set this unit to follow MIDI Program Changes, it follows with Internal 1, Internal 2, etc. 0-99, and NOT with the user bank, 1-100 which is "bank 2". So by default it will NOT just follow Program Changes on your user-customized saved settings. It will only follow by default on the ROM presets, which is a drag. You can send a bank 2 command, or leave it on bank 2 / User / ROM when you power it off and on, etc.-- but some MIDI out will just kick it back to internal every Program Change. Even if you slave it to something that doesn't send default bank 1 Program Changes-- it has no way of selecting 0-99 instead of 1-100, so if you get it to stay on bank 2 / User / ROM, it will often be one numeral off. This is a throwback to lots of well-established professional keyboard gear, that has historically thought NOTHING of randomly putting user presets into higher banks, and forcing you to either get a MIDI event processor to manually add a bank 2 command to every Program Change, or programming a better floor controller to send multiple commands on Program Change to the MIDI channel the unit lives on. So, this was lazy and really unfortunate. You can fix the problem with a cheap MIDI Solutions event processor blackbox, or use a nice programmable controller to send custom Program Changes.So, that's what you live with, in exchange for pretty pristine amp tone, somehow magically coming through the damn thing. Really nice sound. Really old-school lazy MIDI implementation. The best digital ODs I've heard, great reverb (the presets are too much, tone them down) and a phenomenal auto-wah with multiple settings. I've even already found two nice univibe settings, which absolutely blow a pedal like the Shaky Jimi waaaaay out of the water.

INTROI have had the Behringer FX2000 3D for 10 years now. I have played with it for many hours each day after work and on the weekends. I've used every single setting there is for all the effects. I figured out all the menu options pretty quickly, mostly without reading the manual. It's pretty easy to use for this type of effects box. It's so jam packed with effects and options. I love it.BUILD QUALITYThe quality of the build is fantastic. I love the rubbery slip free feel of the knobs and I like the solid feel of the switches. It has durable metal housing also. It's built like a tank. I have had zero problems with this unit after 10 years of use. There are no software glitches. Everything works perfect and reliably 100% of the time.SOUND QUALITYThe sound quality is really good for most of the effects. The pitch shift effect is the main exception to this (see below).I found the reverb and echo effects to be of very good quality. They sound realistic. There are quite enough options to keep me happy. I was able to get that cosmic mind blowing reverb some people seek, especially in the trance scene, by setting the reverb controls just right for the cathedral reverb effect.Other than the digital artifacts present in the pitch shift effect (see below), I found no noticeable noise for any effects except when using the distortion effects turned up pretty high (which is normal for a distortion unit). I love the distortion on this unit. There are tons of options allowing me to get just the right distortion style for a particular sound I'm looking for. The distortion effects are very good quality. Noise is only present when they are over used, just as is the case with real analog audio distortion units. I found the digital distortion to emulate analog distortion very well in many settings.SURPRISESOne effect that surprised me was the sampler, which is not really an effect. It supports looping and overdubbing, which is quite handy when messing around live because it's so easy to use. It can also play in reverse, and at 1/2 the speed in either direction. While I do have digital recording equipment that can also do this, it's simpler and quicker to use the FX2000 for creating basic audio loops. I found that I use it quite a bit for this purpose.There's 1 additional multi-effect chain present in the distortion section called Vocal Distortion which is distortion + delay + flanger. This is a pretty useful multi-effects combination.Two other surprises are the Auto Panning and Tremolo effects when used with the Saw Down waveform option in conjunction with the Auto Modulation setting turned up all the way. This produces a rapid banjo-like strumming sound which increases in speed as the input volume level increases. Used with a synthesizer, this can produce a very interesting effect.COMPLEXITYEach effect has up to 6 controls that can be changed, and some control settings produce very dramatic changes in the effect. For example, the basic echo effect's control settings are a bit complex, more complex than most echo effects I've used in the past. It takes some getting used to. I would be very disappointed if it wasn't as complex as it is though. There are other simpler to use, less feature rich effects boxes out there, and for the less technically inclined they might be a bit overwhelmed by the many options available in the FX2000. But for people that love tweaking effects to get the exact combination they are looking for, this is a great effects unit.Some of the sound effects available are not obvious at first, and require tweaking to get them to be very useful musically. For example, the rapid banjo strumming effect requires going into the Tremolo effect's menu options and selecting the Saw Down waveform and turning up the Auto Modulation setting, producing a pretty awesome sound that's totally unlike a typical tremolo effect.NEGATIVESThe one effect that was a bit disappointing was the pitch shift effect. I was hoping it might sound as real as the other effects, but it doesn't. It would be unbelievable actually if it did at this price, because realistic pitch shifting units are super expensive. Real time live pitch shifting effects require very intense processing power. This unit's pitch shifting is not accurate, producing very distinct digital artifacts as you shift up or down past 5 semi-tones. It can be used for some very interesting effects, but because of the digital artifacts which increase as you bend further up or down it's not that useful for a vocal harmonizer. It's got it's uses, but expect that if shifted too much it doesn't sound real and is not accurate. For example, if I play a pure perfect digital sine wave at middle C using a digital synthesizer and then I shift it up 1 octave using the FX2000, the sound it produces is no longer a pure sine wave. I can very clearly hear frequency beating in the sound wave as if there are two voices playing slightly off key from each other, even when just playing the single shifted sound from the FX2000 without the original middle C sound playing. Even when set to just shift 1 voice up 1 octave it always sounds like it's producing 2 voices shifted up 1 octave that are slightly off key from each other producing a beating effect. There is no way to get rid of the beating effect. The beating is very obvious when shifting 1 octave. It does sound pretty cool though as a digital sound effect. Sometimes a digital effect that's obviously digital can add a nice touch when used properly.The other disappointment is that you cannot create your own multi-effects chains. The multi-effects chains it can produce are presets only (i.e., delay+reverb, flanger+reverb, etc.). You can alter the parameters for them, change how they are ordered, but you cannot create your own effects chains. If you wanted tremolo+phaser, for example, there is no option for that effects chain.SUMMARYThis unit is GREAT as an addition to any synthesizer. It's got some really good effects that none of my synthesizers have built in. I can get some pretty amazing mind blowing sounds from this unit when used in conjunction with my synthesizers. I highly recommend this to anyone using synthesizers who's familiar with tweaking complex effects, filters, LFOs, etc. This unit is almost like a super effects synthesizer without the oscillators and keyboard.I am VERY SATISFIED with this purchase. The FX2000 is truly a Swiss army knife effects box. It does a ton of things not found on other effects boxes. It does most of them very well and most of the effects sound realistic. The distortion alone is worth the price of this unit. But if you're looking for very realistic pitch shifting effect, you are better off buying units solely devoted to pitch shifting, and expect to pay MORE for that affect alone. A realistic sounding pitch shifter alone will cost about 5-10 times as much as this unit costs. Live real time pitch shifting requires a very high level of processing power in order to sound realistic.After owning this and using it several days a week regularly for over 10 years now, I haven't had a single issue with it. It works as well as the day I purchased it. All the knobs and buttons are all still in great condition. This is a really well made quality device, built like a tank. Highly recommended!
