I'm looking for a good reverb/effects box; a friend recommended the
Yamaha SPX9000 from a recommendation he once got.  I asked around
here and the only place in Seattle that seems to carry this stuff
(I'm not talking $99 guitar distortion pedals) is American Music.
They gave me a leaflet describing the SPX900, but denied that the
9000 existed.  I have strong reason to believe that the 9000 does exist,
though -- can anyone in netland confirm or deny this?
If it exists, I'd really appreciate either a phone number or more
details (differences between the 900 and 9000 would suffice)!
I'd use it mostly for home recording of flute, vocals, & piano.
The reverb time in my apartment is less than ideal :-)

FYI: the SPX900 has 50 DSP "programs."  Each has from about 10 to 20
parameters you can tweak through the front panel, and two of these you
can assign to midi controllers for real-time twiddling.  Config load/save
is through midi too.
The programs are: 13 reverbs, early reflections, delay, lots of modulations,
pitch changers, compressor, distortion, limited sampling, a few others,
and combination of the above.  Rack-mount, mono in/stereo out.  About $7..800.
Disclaimer: I ain't even seen one of these, let alone played with it or
become a satisfied customer.  Just thought I'd contribute some info as well
as asking for it.

Thanks in advance!
