Lexicon mx200

This thing sounds incredible (run in stereo with pong delay ohhhh my).
Editing patches is a breeze
Manual is sufficient,

Im running a Mexican srat with lace hot gold sensors,Graph tech nut, bridge replacement etc. into >dunlop wah,Guyatone st-2 compressor> boss e.Q 20,(Great pedal)>Danelectro cool cat,Dan echo>mx-200 into front of Vox Brian May,> Vox pathfinder (for now). Sorry about the rambling on but i love my gear (considering I researched the f... out of it and it serves me well)

The unit is not noisy at all. In fact i am running this in front of a Solid state and it sounds wonderful, I just cant use the Vox bm's distortion with it (bypass) but thats o.k.. Considering the unit has two delays you can use in sycronization(pong delay)Just call me The Edge. With my E.Q the mx-200 and my cheap vox's I can absolutely nail The Edge's tone and atmospherics (this morning i spot on got Yahweh from Atomic bomb album). The mx-200 has no distortion its srong points are definately Reverb and delay. Unit has other sounds that are truly decent but not great. I do like the fact I dont have to spend $100 or more on an effect(Pitch shift, Rotary) i would only use once a year anyway.

I have had it for a week
I have heard that Lexicon's software (included for use with Mx-200"s, usb into computer)is a weak point, i have read also their customer support is lacking but this is not first hand knowledge. No Problems personally and the unit seems solidly Built. IMPORTANT! there is no on off switch on the unit
all I know is that I killed the power by switching off my powerstrip and I lost all my Atomic Bomb presets boo hoo. Now I just unhook the adaptor from the back and savor the God awful sound>

I almost bought the Line Six Verbzilla and i glad i did not. The verbzilla might sound great i dont know but i cant imagine reverbs sounding much beter than the ones Lexicon offers and I dontlike effects named after cheaply made sciece fiction movies. You can use 2 effecta at once, pair reverbs, pair delays, whatever your heart desires. if your looking for lush, did I say lush atmosphere without sounding fake (Control your wet/ mix)well run this piece in stereo or with three amps as i do sometimes and welcome to sonic ear candy, heaven sometimes I add a slight amount of distortion for bite(the Edge)and because it just sounds too ffffing pretty without it. If you dont want to spend a lot on a top quality reverb/delay for whatever your reasons $200 and your set for life (Although i might move up the lexicon food chain some day). I recently got the mx-200 for my birthday I opened it up, plugged it in and it sounded amazing . Is there anything worse than waiting a week for new gear you took a chance on over the internet and it absolutely sucks (zoom 50511) but what did i expect for a $60 multieffect Anyway lol. I could not be happier with my mx-200. P.s sorry about the obnoxious length of my gear list and overall review> peace

Quite easy to use. Dual engines - both of which can run full reverb simultaneously. *** One caveat: The MX-Edit USB controller software will not run or even install on anything except Windows XP-SP2. It will NOT work on XP-SP1. Call Lexicon. It's a fact. Very nice small manual. Requires analog audio or SPDIF connections. The USB line (not included) provides for PC control only. External power supply included.

Used in fine quality personal studio via S/PDIF. Totally quiet. Excellent sound. Far superior to the noisy but similarly named (discontinued) MPX-200 (a marketing faux pas if I ever saw one). Since reverb is typically heard much less in today's music than it was 10~20 years ago, this model should do very nicely.

Made in the USA - a welcome change. Solid steel housing with .125" thick aluminum faceplate. Very well made, machined, and screened. I expect few problems.

Never needed so...

Reverb quality is dramatically improved over recent low-end Lexicons. Much better IMHO than the TC Electronic M300. The USB control if very helpful.

It's extremely user friendly. I absolutely love it. Great for guitar racks. I don't have the patience or time to scroll through endless menus to program effects, any more. This unit solved this issue. Pick the effect and dial it in with the knobs. Totally kick ass!

The sound is excellent with this unit. I use it in my guitar rack. Very ballsy. I have had an endless revolving door of Alesis and Digitech multiFX units and they all either sounded weak, metallic or thin. When I plugged the MX200 in, it totally blew me away. My main guitars are a Les Paul Studio and an original ESP M1. My rack consists of a Furman Rack Rider power conditioner, ADA MP1 Preamp, Lexicon MX200 and a BBE 461 Sonic Maximizer. Power amp is a 6L6 all tube Peavey Classic 60. Cab is a custom 2x12 loaded with Celestion G12K-85s. One of the nice things about the Lexicon is that it's straight effects - no EQ to mess with your sound. Set your preamp and guitar EQ and away you go - no additional coloration.

It seems pretty reliable. I wouldn't gig with out a back up. I've still got an old '87 Digitech door stop I could use if I absolutely had to.

It's a new unit and I just bought it a week ago, so I don't have any opinions on this.

I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years - mostly hard rock and heavy metal though I do occasionally stray into other genres. I LOVE this unit. I'd definitely get another one of these units. It most definitely helps me make music by being unobtrusive and not having to spend 8 hours a day for three weeks tweaking and programming it. I've had an ungodly amount of gear over the years and this is one that really stands out for me. This Lexicon rocks. It does exactly what I want it to and it's very guitar friendly. If you are looking for a multi effects box to add to your guitar rig, for the money, you can't go wrong.

Pretty easy to get a good sound out of it. comes with some cool factory presets. Very easy to get the sound you want out of it. All knobs instead of lame buttons.

I am using a ampeg v140ch head with a fender no name cab. Esp ec-1000. Also have a bbe 362 in wiht the mx200, wiht a boss eq stomp box. Sounds are super clean. No apperent hum that i can hear. Only problem I have is that when i change patches there is a huge seem. FOr live use you have to tweak the midi parameters with expression pedals to change effects.

It is all aluminum so i can't too many bad things happening to it. Seem sturdy

This i have to honestly say is upsetting. I called there asking a question about patch change seems, and they jsut kept replying with "ohh i donno about that man" they didnt' seem to know their product very well.
