Sounsman, I've been reading through the archives and have seen you highly recommend the Lexicon LXP-1; I think I'm going to buy one second hand but I've heard that it can be quite a noisey unit, is this the case? Will the noise vary unit to unit?

I could get the mpx-500 but I want plain reverb really without the extras and I think this represents the best option if it doesn't carry noise that will make the recordings sound unprofessional but if you use it (as one of your main reverbs) I would hope that the noise is minimal if present at all.

Thanks,
Krystof.
 
I bought one from a bloke in NI - £100 - after Bruce Blue Bear mentioned they were a good second hand buy. It's never struck me as noisy. The sound quality is very good. One thing I don't like about it is the decay and delay knobs offer a choice of about 16 presets each (unless I've misunderstood the manual). They seem to have been well chosen and cover most tempos but I would have liked more flexibility.

The power unit on mine IS noisy sometimes. One day it's quiet, next day it emits a loud buzzing. Still a good buy at £100 though.
 
sounds good. I've used it on my last three or four mixes in the clinic if you are interested.

You can also purchase the mrc that will let you tweak 8 settings.
 
If you can find a Sony DPS-V77...buy it. Only my opinion, but it smokes the LXP-1. I saw one for $300.00. I already have three of them, so I don't need more, but that is possibly one of the best reverbs I have worked on.

My 2 Cents

I heard the sony one a few mixes. I think it excels at realism. I did not really like the sound of it though.

in the $300 price range, I have not heard anything that beats the TC m-one
