best cheap reverb unit?

lexicon mpx-100
lexicon mpx-200
roland srv-3030

if you've used any of these, please give me you opinion...

thanks.
 
If you really want a decent 'verb that has a hi adjustable
increments for 'verb and effect algorithms, check out at least
the Lex MP 500.
But it all depends on what your budget is.
TC Electronics also make fine 'DSP's also.

As usual, Double QQ is right. I have the Lexicon 100 and it is a decent reverb. I also have the Alesis Midiverb 3 and that is a pretty good box; however, now that I have the Yamaha DAW 2816, with its onboard reverb and everything else, my two reverb boxes sit next to my MD8. I haven't unplugged the MD8 because it still has uses.

I also think the Yamaha reverb boxes are pretty good. As QQ said, it depends on what you want to spend. But, if you can do it, the Lexicon 500 is the better choice.

The best "lowest priced" new or used Digital Reverb in my opinion is the Roland SRV330, not the 3030. I had one for several years til recently. I sold it to get my new VS890 which has 24 bit processing. The SRV330 is AWESOME! Rivals Lexicon's PCM's.
The SRVs go roughly anywhere between 150-300.00 on ebay or HC classifieds. They don't make these anymore so snatch one up while you can. Good luck!

PS, what are everyones opinions on the 24 bit processors in the VS line of digital recorders? I just love the reverbs, but the digital delays are noisy and lack depth compared to my Chandler Stereo Echo Delay, which I just found out lately they don't make these anymore.
 
ROLAND ROLAND ROLAND.

it sounds just as good, if not a little better than the lexicon stuff in that range. the unit is awesome, and pretty cheap aswell! i totally reccomend it..

the vocal has the SRV3030 on it, it's the "Gold Plate" Patch, with a little editing from me. it's very warm sounding. i did use some delay aswell which is quite low down, but i think you will be able to hear the roland 3030 pretty well.

get the roland, take it from me, you will NOT regret it. skycries is absolutely right. many people have compared it to the pcm's of lexicon.
