When my power supply went, I bought another cheap one with the polarity plug & socket on the cable that is reversible. probably half what you paid for a secondhand microverb1. sometimes these blow, and it's like 25 squids to get a new one. The Microverb features plates, and varieties of predelay. the 'difference' between the version 1 reverbs is more marked, so you get a better pallette. so whilst the version 2 reverbs may be slightly richer (?). i prefer the V1, because simply, the reverbs have more variety. even tho the version 2 is supposed to be better algorithms. Personally, i prefer this Microverb1, to the Microverb2. from small hall to the final 'Infinate' style reverb, with huge decay and size. 6 small rooms from what sounds like a coal bunker, up to a small hall, 7 large reverbs. 2 gated reverbs, one longer than the other. The humble Microverb1 belies it's reverb power. the rack is a top & bottom sheet, that sandwich the units together between 2 end cheeks with rack bolt holes. and you could at one time buy a special rack unit to house 3 of the Alesis 'Micro' unit range, side by side. The Microverb1 is 1/3rd rack length x 1U high. it's not so bad, I just think the Microverb1 is better.
Personally, I disliked the Midi-verb, despite what it offered at the time. certainly high hundreds of thousands found their way into home studios all over the world! People went nuts for these and Alesis must have sold possibly millions of these Microverb 1's. Early budget digital reverbs were possible due to changing affordable technology and their sound was subjectively WAY better than anything previously available to the home recordist at that time. It's difficult for noobs, new to the home-recording game to fully appreciate the impact these early budget digital reverb had when released. Alesis Microverb 1 The Alesis Microverb came out about 1986/7, and blew people even further away than it's equally cheap parent, the strangely shaped table-top Midiverb.
