It would be hard to satisfy everyone with an on-board effect like 
reverb.  An effects loop (out and in jacks on the preamp), with a 
wet/dry mix knob on the 'tron panel... That would be an inexpensive 
improvement.  We could put an old EchoPlex in the loop or the latest 
multi-effects processor....(or both!), and control it from the 
keyboard.

P.S.  M400 spec sheet:  I recall seeing a S/N ratio of -55db.  Hard 
to believe?  Maybe more like -45db on a good day.
