This unit imo is better than any new device out there today except the AXE FX units, period. The WIDE effect is in super stereo almost similar to SURROUND SOUND. The only reason I don’t use it today is the fact that I am trying to downsize (as far as weight is concerned, getting older not younger) Other than that for the young’uns this device is the bomb!! The gold plated inputs/outputs (I0) are a little weak as in the A2 and A3. (Use another unit such as a preamp to plug into, don’t plug directly into this unit all the time, such as in and out and in and out. It’ll soon come loose and then you’ll have to resolder it back on.

Top Gear at the time released. Still today I use it for Vocals to give it other color in the Digital mix. Can still recommend it. Though over 4’000. new I would still buy it 25 years later for max 450.

The PCM range has always been aimed at the lower budget market , but by no means are they to be Considered inferior in any way. I’ve have my 90 for around 10 years now and I rate it highly as a multi-effects unit but more for the “Lex” sounding reverb. No, it’s not in the league of the ‘biggies’ like the 480L or 224, but it’s still a lovely bit of kit. The “symphonic’ preset is amazing. For the money they go for now, the PCM 90 or 91 is definitely worth the money. One issue to mention is weak psu’s… mine blew and I bought a replacement off eBay.

Very useful and great sound. Among its price competitors, such as Quadraverb and SPX 900, The Lexicon MPX1 has much superior construction and sound. The Tiled Room, PCM 60 Room and Classic DTune presets sound wonderful in high-level mixes, working very well for different styles, from the most modern to the one with a more vintage feel. If you find one on E-bay, don’t miss the opportunity.

The MPX-1 offers the classic Lexicon 90s sound at an affordable price. The MPX-1 has two engines: a standard DSP and a LexChip dedicated to reverb only. The range of effects is wide: reverb, delay, chorus, overdrive, phase, equalization, microshift, and more. This makes the MPX-1 a good “all rounder” for any studio. Probably not your first choice for a main or vocal reverb, the MPX-1 can certainly serve in that capacity if need be.

When these debuted they were aimed at smaller studios or professional home studios and the sound quality shows. Although the MPX-1 may not have its own distinct character, it does sound like a Lexicon. Sonically, the MPX-1 is miles above similar “semi-affordable” multi-effects units of the late 90s. A clear winner!

Was not too sure what to expect when I got this one, but what I got was a very usable digital reverb and digital delay box, with a lot of really useful presets suitable for guitar in particular. The ‘Tap’ button on the front panel for setting the delay time is an excellent idea that makes using hardware delays almost as convenient as a plugin in terms of setting the delay time.

There is also a very usable speaker cabinet simulator that I have found to work really well on guitar that has been recorded using, in my case an Avid Eleven rack. Suddenly my guitar tracks sound far more like the real deal, i.e.: a speaker cone pushing air! I should address the reverbs some more as I do not want to make out this box is only for guitar. The reverbs are very very nice, sit well in a mix and sound pretty smooth to my ears. So all in all, this is a very worthwhile investment.

One of the Greatest Multi-FX processors ever made. Feels extremely satisfying when you create an amazing sound. Block diagrams from the manual are very useful for this.

The PCM 80 is an effects landscape. Making your own presets with this unit is extremely rewarding.

Famous Lexicon sound plus crazy pitch/filtering effects!!! Love it!

I have had my Lexicon 300 for about 6 years now and love it. IS it as good as the big brother models? I am not sure as I have not had the pleasure of using them, but for me this thing is on every mix, could not live without it. Smooth tails, pretty quiet in operation and apart from one small repair, it has been very reliable too. If you have the coin buy it.

It is a soft and musical machine. the internal programs are not necessarily prodigious, but as soon as you know the machine, you get fabulous results. always easy to put in a mix. The Hi cut filter is also one of the softest that can be. The Bricasti M7 is rougher, more like a 224. The 480L’s UAD plug is very close, almost equivalent to my hardware machine. just a little more harmonic distortion in the treble of the real 480L.
