via the seller: "Sooooo, after a year of happily owning a Rev5, I bought into the hype, drank the kool-aid and purchased a Rev4. Since I have both Revs in my possession at the moment, I decided to do a lil A/B comparison. I was expecting to have my doors blown off but quite honestly there is not that much difference between the two. Yes there is a difference but it is negligible. The Rev4 is a bit warmer and rounder which may or may not be what you need for your particular project. The Rev5 is a bit crisper/clearer in comparison. With that being said, both are incredible analog machines with huge, rich, fat sounds. I wish I could afford to keep them both but that is just overkill. The only reason I'm deciding to put my Rev5 up for sale is because as long as the Rev4 mystique is in place, I can ask a good price for it in the future if I ever get in a bind. But to all you Rev5 owners, love and appreciate the machine you have and keep making funky music!!
This particular unit was owned by Elumba Recording Studios at one point (sticker still on the back plate) which is a studio that has helped usher in hits by likes of Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Bobby Brown, Sheena Easton, Patti LaBelle, Smokey Robinson, Baby Face and LA Reid to name a few. So you will also own a piece of music history."
