Low-end Hardware Effects Processors question...

Hi.
I have a mainly hardware studio, and I'm looking to buy a fairly cheap effects processor. I just basically need some advice so that I can get the best deal for my money.
I've been looking at two in particular: the Lexicon MPX-110 and the Behringer Virtualizer Pro DSP2024P. The Behringer is slightly cheaper from what I can see, but Lexicon tends to have a better reputation as far as effects processors go. I just need a really good reverb, basically.
I don't really wanna spend more than £100, but I'm happy to buy second-hand (most of my studio is second-hand anyway.) If anyone could explain the basic differences between these choices, or recommend an alternative better one, then that'd be really appreciated.
Cheers. |

the virtualizer is ok. lexicon is, well, a lexicon, but there is a vast difference between their low end stuff and say a PCM 80.
Anyway- look no further than the zoom 1201 or 1204.
Cheap and very very good. Can pick up a 1201 for under £50, and a 1204 is about £10/20 more as it has midi clock and some memories.
Ive lost count of the number of top studios that have one of these sitting alongside top end lexicons and neves. I personally have 3.
if you must get a lexicon, grab an MPX100- reverb is the one thing lexicon absolutely kill veryone else with- and even on this model its fantastic.
Oh, and dont buy them new- but you already knew that.
You could always investigate some reverb guitar pedals if you are on a really tight budget.... |
