Yes, that was my point in putting "only" in quotes: 127 is a LOT of 
user storage programs.  I have about 10 that I use as well (a couple 
of reverbs, a chorus, a delay, an octave, etc.).  I usually start 
with one that sounds closest to what I want, and then tone it WAY 
down.  As I mentioned in my other post, studio effects units are 
commonly used as part of a mix, where the amount of effect in a 
channel can be controlled by twisting a knob.  If you're running the 
signal live it's usually far too "wet".  

For a smaller unit, I also have an Alesis Wedge that I used as an FX 
device on my mixer.  It has much of the same functionality as the 
Midiverb but in more of a "stompbox" configuration, with a very 
similar user interface.  I think the Wedge has been discontinued by 
Alesis.  It may seem paradoxical to use the Midiverb with the 
amplifier and the Wedge with the studio setup, but it works for me.
