Features and functionality

The Intellifex supports ambient patches with modulated reverbs, where 4 modulated delays feed into a reverb, enhancing dynamics and smoothing crude reverb algorithms.

Known for "ADT"-style chorus reminiscent of 80s metal, and analog dry-through with adjustable levels for each stereo side.

One of the most underated rack effects unit
One of the most underated rack effects unit nowadays. It cost around 1000$ when sold has new. With astonishing sound clarity in each effect chain and true bypass when needed. Completely programmable from a PC using a MIDI-to-Usb cable and Rocktron's proprietary patch editor.
