I bought an Lexicon MPX 1 and MPX100 yesterday, expecting to have a couple of good effect units for my studio. I thought I'd use the cheap one for simple stuff, like a snare plate or something, and the nicer one for the big stuff.
Well, the MPX100 stinks. I can't feed a signal into it without it clipping, and the legendary one-light meter is getting my goat. The sound coming out of it stinks as well. So it goes back tomorrow.
I'm thinking of replacements for it, and I'm not going to be as cheap this time. I've looked at the Lexicon MPX500 and it looks a little better - I'm also wondering if anyone has used the T.C. Electronics M-One or if the Alesis Quadraverb is decent given the same price range, or if I should just get another Yahama REV500 or another M-1 (but that's the expensive route - I'm trying not to do that again - $700 bucks is a lot when you still need a couple more compressors and you want to dedicate one effect unit to the snare drum to get a good plate sound.
I'll check the archives, but any additional info before tomorrow afternoon is cool.
