I got my Ursa Major 323 from a guy who presumed it was radio tuner...
Few years later I have two more; 8x32 and MSP126.
Does anyone use them?
I adore them!

I've used one before. They are pretty fun, no doubt.

As I recall, there were the little reverb (actually a multitap delay) and the "stargate," which had an actual reverb patch. Both were crude but interesting in a "When Doves Fly"/ "Miss Jackson if you nasty" way.
You might want to try to find a Quad Eight reverb like the one we have here -- it's equally fucked-up sounding, or a Publison Infernal Machine, which has a couple of perverse algorythms. Is that how you spell it?
The Lexicon PCM60 is similar, but more refined.

How about DRP 20 from crappy Dynacord?
Dr.WHO kind of verb...
I think I have the king of crappy reverb units, it is tube and spring (two of them) and made by (Italian?) company Electroverb.
It has some DUCATI parts inside...should be 40 years old.
Very cool distortion/cracks/telephone/spring reverb unit.
Steve, yes you are right .MSP 126 is short reverb with tap delay,
Stargate 323 is reverb with predelays,(626 with more memory).
And 8x32 is actually prototype of AKG ADR60K I think.
Ever used one? They are really cool.
There is also a Space station which is nice tap delay thingy.
