I can't seem to find any info on this unit. Is it an updated MPX1? Is it better or worse?
Thanks

It was during a conversation I heard the MPX2 mentioned, but I think it must be the MPX-G2 the other person was refering to? He definately has the controller that goes with it.
From what I gather, the MPX-G2 is a bit of a classic right? Are the reverbs as good as the PCM70's? What about the rest of the effects that come on the MPX range, which are favoured? Are there any good delays on the MPX-G2?
Thanks

I use a lexicon MPX-500 (now updated for more user memories as the MPX-550). It has analog unbalanced and digital I/O, and is fairly clean. Digital I/O is restricted to 44.1 or 48 kHz, but this is more than adequate for most applications.
Reverbs are good, chorus is good, flanging is good, delay is good, but the pitch transposer / corrector is a little too slow and coarse to use real-time. Still, it's a fun effect and may be useful if you are prepared to "slide" your pitch transposed track "a little left" when mastering to compensate for the lag.
It is great as a vocal reverb, and is fair as a guitar processor.
I use this to provide reverb. Very clean, not noisy, and reasonably priced for the home studio.
The sounds are useful, and the user interface very good indeed.
If you had a pro studio there are probably better Lexicon units to select, like the PCM series.
Under $1000, the Lexicons are certainly among the best around.

If you are talking about what I think you are, I believe the MPX-G2 is an MPX-1 that is oriented toward guitar players. So I would expect the effect engine to be essentially the same as the MPX-1, but with patches written with the guitar in mind. There might be some differences with the analog I/O setup, and maybe some other variations, but my understanding is that it's basically an MPX-1. They came out at around the same time.
