The factory setings are not very impressive, but after 1 hour I found this unit VERY flexible (20 parameters for each efect) and very easy got the right sound. Any way, I wanted the unit for live performance and now I think in my case MX200 is better solution. :) but MPX550 is great unit for medium range studio it has too many parameters. By the way - i allways rate the units considering the price I paid. I'm sure there are many better sounding DSPs, but not in this price range. For me it is the best unit.

Very, very easy to use, intuative to edit - very well thought out. My only quibbles are that the System parameters are edited in a different way to patches - not immediately obvious and that you can't just erase a stored patch.

Sounds fantastic, reverbs really smooth and rich. I think a really good reverb is one that doesn't sound like reverb...this is such a unit. I haven't compared it to a 480 etc but it does exude that Lexicon aura! The presets aren't bad but I was only really happy after making my own patches. I'm only using the unit for reverb but the other effects seem good too.

I'm using this for classical recording and it seems great so far...once I've used it a number of times I'll write a new review if I change my mind! I also have a Lexicon Reflex but this is a bit of a one trick pony, only the large hall is of much use. I'd be interested to compare it to the Behringer Rev2496.

Easy to use, the controls and menus are very well thought out, with the most often-used tweaks being simple to access.

I'm using it in my home studio with the effects sends of my Soundcraft mixing console. It's not as good as the pricier Lexicons but damn good for the price. Very smooth audio quality.

Here is the problem, and the main reason I'm writing this review. I have hardly used this thing, as I do a lot of mixing inside the computer. It's like new and it's probably only been powered up a couple of dozen times... however it is out of warranty. The last time I used it, it failed to boot up, it turns on but there is nothing but a blank screen where the menu should be, and no signal will pass. I'm pissed off that I am going to have to send this back to Lexicon at my own expense to get it repaired. The repair bill with the shipping will probably be half what I paid for it.

We'll see... all I know is that it is not covered by the warranty any longer even though mine is like new. I don't expect any special favors.

If it was lost or stolen, I'd probably buy something else, seeing as how this one broke down while it was still practically brand new. When it was working, it sounded pretty good for the price.

It will take a few minutes to work out how to use it, but isn't that the same with all great FX units?
Editing the patches is easy as the menu is thought out clearly.
Bottom line... Easy Peasy to Use.

My main effects Unit :P
I love this unit, the reverbs are simply amazing, the lexichip is the king of all chips when it comes to FX. Reverbs are amazingly real, no metallic clanging here.

An excellent FX unit for the price, no nonsense.
This unit gets the job done, if you love reverb get this unit over any other, there simply is no competition in this price range.

The Effects are great spetialy the reverbs and the delays. The MPX won't make your sound digatal (like DigiTech )it is Great.
The PitchShifter and the Flanger could be beter in my opinion-but hey for 499$ you get the bet reverbs and delays in the world.
I use it in my Guitar rig with a Boss matal zone and super chorus pedals with a '79 Fender Twin Reverb
It is Great!!!
