Questions for Lexicon MPX1 owners.
2003-11-13 by roman pirie
I'm thinking of buying a Lexicon MPX1. I want a quality reverb and a delay which definately has a low and highs eq on the feedback loop so I can get those echoes that have less highs and less bass on every repeat. This is a classic effect used alot in reggae. My first question is: I've checked the MPX500 details on the net and it seems that the delay only has a low pass filter on the feedback loop. So from the limited info I found it seems that the MPX500 may not be able to achieve this effect. Can the MPX1 do this effect? I read something about being able to insert effect blocks in the feedback loop. What different effects are available for inserting in the feedback loop? Also which has the better reverb quality the MPX500 or the MPX1? Ok I'm pretty sure it's the more expensive MPX1. How do the reverbs compare to the higher priced Lexicon reverb units. Thanks for any help. PS, I own a UAD-1 card which has is my only quality reverb 'realverb' plug in. If you have compared the UAD-1s reverb to the MPX1 I'd be keen to hear your comments.
