«  A little box that has everything a great »

Value For Money : Excellent
This rack halves, although two have two Delay and Chorus is really dedicated to reverb.
The facade is rudimentary editing, choose the preset, Decay, Delay.
For if we have against the RCM (remote control of the same brand), we then have access to 8 parameters for editing presets. And with this little plastic box, this is not the same machine.
I immagine, that it can dig a head, it is possible to access these parameters even in midi via a computer.
This is a half rack, very heavy and sturdy. Treatments are digital, Jack connectors, inputs and outputs L / R, Midi In and Thru (configurable via an internal jumper out to the remote V4.0).

UTILIZATION

Yes, everything is easy.
Only minor complaint we could make him, in the remote, if you are accustomed to that of his great sister, have not exactly the same logic. This is the setup button is used to change the preset, and not the Prog.
But there, nothing serious just need to get used to.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are very effective.
But we must know what it is based, it is in the old low-end brand.
So it is very "lexicon" as his, but in a cheap version. It blows reasonably, the "flicker" of Lexicon reverb, although "ferrailleuses" and unnatural are present.
In short, it's not very natural, it's not very discreet. But against this has a grain and a color that was renamed the brand. And frankly, it's rather nice and helpful on some guitars, vocals, drums and other.

OVERALL OPINION

In fact I ended up buying one at 80 € with the remote, because at that price no risk.
Knowing that it's been fifteen years since I croisais the studio, and with the 224 and 200 and PCM60 it is one of my favorite reverbs brand. (Note, I did not say so long as it arrived at the ankle of the other cited).

-Did you tried many other models before buying it?
I would not say that I threw one ear on all the models that exist in the market, but almost. In any case in respect of the Lexicon, I know absolutely everything and I'm not a big fan so far. This is also why I only have it in my possession. (I probably soon will complete a LXP5).

On the + side typed.
The - the next typed.

The price is excellent value at 80 € with the remote, it is a business.
By no cons, this is no longer the same reverb and not worth more than € 50.
With remote I would be very close to buying more expensive.
