I have never heard this model, but the big interweb seems to talk good about them. 
Anybody who can pitch in on this? Are they worth it today?

	Depends what you want to use them for? They are digital processors so that might make a difference to how you'd fit them into a signal chain.

	Small live gigs. Vocals and maybe guitar and bass. Small stuff where a 16ch mixer is enough 🙂

	I haven't used them myself, in fact I don't think I've ever used a digital effect as an insert on an analogue desk, I might be wrong! However, on paper they would probably do decent job and are quite flexible. However, there is probably quite a lot of analogue outboard out there on the second hand market for similar money so might be worth checking what other options there are before making a final decisions.
