Only thing i can think of in that price range tht remotely does any of that stuff is the Zoom R16. That being said while its a a 16 channel standalone recorder to an SD card, It only has 8 physical inputs and 8 faders and doubles as an 8 channel interface and a control surface in banks of 8. Don't know how accessible the reverbs and other effects are easey enough to get to on the board though. Other stuff in the under $1k range, Cakewalk makes something similiar to the R16 w whose name eludes me at the moment, VS20 i want to say its called. And i think there are a few Yamaha/Steingburg interfaces in that price range as well. The Presounus Studio live would meet your needs except its upwards of a grand for the cheapest, and it doesn't act as a control surface.The only thing i can think of thats 16 channels of mixer/interface/control surface all in one is the Yamaha OV1 or something like that and its $2300. You may want to consider looking at www.zzounds.com or www.sweetwater.com they will let u split your payments over 4 or 3 monthly installments respectively using your regular debit card
