Lexicon mpx500....For a little more moola you can buy two of them,very useful and they sound incredible.

Well, I did an A/B of the MPX500 and TC M-One, with a pre bias in favour of the Lexicon. I was floored at the difference, and found the TC to be far superior at this price point. Best to hear them for yourself though, as reverb quality is often a personal preference, and the two have a very different flavour.

Both have an improved version out right now:
Lexicon MPX 550 TC Electronics M-One XL I'm very interested in hearing someone's 'a/b-ing' results of these two. They're both $500 in Europe.

Not a lot of people seem to use it and therefore you can't find a lot of information/opinions on it, but you could also look into the Yamaha REV500. I've had one for 2-3 years now and love it for some applications, but not all. The verbs are very smooth and sweet if not pushed, but there is no delay.

the tc m-one gives a certain sheen that the lexicon cant touch.

I got my MPX1 for $500 used and it blows the doors off the 500.

The 500 actually has better converters... and you don't think, at those price points, that they're using different DSP chips in there now, do you? Same chips, same algorithms........

Sorry Blue Ball's. I should've known you'd be on my ass.
By blow the doors off I meant: way more presets and better editability. And you just said they use the same DSP so why the hell do you think the 500 has better converters? And BTW I've used both and I thinl the MPX1 sounds better IMO. |

The 500 has 24-bit converters and the MPX-1 has the older 20-bit converters...
And if you seriously want to start juvenile name-calling, instead of engaging in adult-level discussion, I'm game.... you have no clue who you're dealing with, but I guarantee, you'll end up looking pretty stupid...........

Whatever man, Youre seriously grumpy...maybe hibernation would help. And this isn't about you and I anyway.
I still think the MPX1 is way nicer. But like Harley said get two 500's for a little more it's a great unit also. Or hell three 200's for that matter. |

Not knocking ya or trying to bolster the arguement here jake, but what good are these features if the thing doesn't sound good? An Alesis Quadraverb as incredible editing and presets but I'll take a Lex over that any day of the week. The Bear's simply pointing out that with 24 bit converters instead of 20 the thing's going to sound better. |

Sony DPS-V55 ... I think you can get one for $400-$500... It sounds really great.

There are many 20 bit converters out there that blow the doors off the run of the mill 24 bit converters in many boxes. Oh, FWIW, I think that the cheaper m-one also blows the doors of the mpx1

Just an observatin but
Blue bear wrote "you have no idea who your dealing with" or something like that anyway. Okay, so...who are we dealing with. What kind of thing is that to say and, by the way, what does it mean. Does this mean that if Blue Bear does not like what you have to say he'll look you up and punch you in the nose. Or, does it mean he will say really, really meant things and hurt your feelings. It sounds like he threw down the gantlet but I cannto imgaine what the stakes might be.
