Reviewer Background :
I this plugin in Sonar 3.X for reverb on tracks.

Ease of Use : 8
Interface is good. No problems installing; comes with Sonar.
I've heard a lot of folks say the presets are not the best.
You need to really dig in and tweak the knobs to get better sound.
No manual except for online help.

Sounds/Sound Quality : 6
Sound ranges from ho-hum to great. Depends.
Sometimes I notice a slight "metallic" sound in the Lexicon's processed audio. My view is that it's just one reverb in your toolkit. Sometimes it's right for the job, other times I prefer another reverb plugin--like, Sonitus, Glace, or some VST reverb plugin I can download for FREE off the net.

Overall Rating : 7
Got it free with Sonar 3.x. Supposedly there's a new version with Sonar 4 that's even better and supports Surround sound.
Now if Lexicon wants to send me THAT plugin, I'll be glad
to review it too:

Reviewer Background :
I've been writing & recording for over ten years. Started out on a Yamaha 4 track and since then have worked with everything from 2" to fully digital setups, pro and home studios. Right now I use Adobe Audition on a PC through a Tascam digital mixer in a nice semi-professional home studio. I record music for a living. All genres.

Ease of Use : 10
So, so easy! A retarded monkey could use it. Installation is no hassle. Exactly what one would expect from Lexicon.

Sounds/Sound Quality : 10
Beautiful, natural reverb. A lot of reverbs I used sounded muddy like there was a thick layer of reverb laid over the track. The Pantheon just sounds like it's one with the track, natural, no mud. The presets are pretty good except that the default levels are at 100. Not a big deal just adjust once and save.

Overall Rating : 10
I've had nothing but positive experiences with it. Great sound and so easy to use. What else could you want from a reverb?
