Who uses the Lexicon LXP-I AND 5

GARYPHILLIPS · Post by **GARYPHILLIPS** » 28 Mar 2001 6:29 pm

Who uses one or both? Are they as good as they are cracked up to be. Does anyone have any real good settings for these for steel. I also have a BOSS SE-50, Some people like these also. Thanks for any feed back. Also i wonder if you can run these in line with a stereo steel and ProFex II?? Jerry walker told me there is only one right way to hook up a Stereo steel and a ProFex II to make it work good together. Email all response to
gs@megsinet.net Thanks, Gary

I have used the LXP1 for several years now, and I love it. Lexicon makes a beautiful, clean, warm, and spacious reverb. I also have an MPX100 which I don't use and don't care for. I don't think you can do any better in the under-$700 price range. And you can find LXP1's very cheap on ebay.

I've own one LXP-1 and two LXP-5's for almost 10 years. I use them mainly for recording.

The LXP-1 would really sound great for PSG!

It has a very wide selection of incredible reverbs and also some delays and choruses.
It has easy, but limited editing capabilities out of the box.

However, if you spring for an MXP-1 controller (probably $200-$300 used) you could do some very detailed editing of its parameters.

I'd say the LXP-1 is well worth picking up. I think you can find one for around $300.

The LXP-5 is better for pitch-shifting, delays and choruses. It's reverbs aren't too shabby, either. It's more versatile than the LXP-1, but it's reverbs aren't as good.

I believe you'd do better with the LXP-1 for steel.

I picked up a used LXP-1 years ago & it's
about the best reverb for steel I've
ever heard. Real warm & lush!
I use it all the time for any steel
tracks I record for myself or
other folks. Can't beat 'em.

I have a LXP-1 in my studio which is a good unit, but I like the Boss SE-50 better for steel. The SE-50 has good reverbs and delays, it's easy to program and I can edit the programs quickly if I need to tweak them. I have used this one for about 8 years. I've tried lots of other processers, but haven't found anything I like better.
