Lars EliassonLexicon mx200 great effects unit
Published on 02/04/25 at 09:45I bought the Lexicon mx200 to be used with a soundcraft fx16 II mixer and electric guitar since I needed some more effects than the built in ones in the mixer. Its routed from the aux send of the mixer and Im currently using two aux sends into the mx200 left and right inputs.
The mx200 have 4 routing options and two processes that can be run in series or parallell. Its important to read the manual and configure the utility setting correctly if you are going to plug it into a mixer or guitar amp.
The sounds are great for guitar I havent tested for song, drums, keyboard yet. You get different mix results based on the routing you choose from 1-4. Some effects sounds best through routing...…

The sounds are great for guitar I havent tested for song, drums, keyboard yet. You get different mix results based on the routing you choose from 1-4. Some effects sounds best through routing 1 or 2 and some better through routing 3 or 4.
I use it mainly for chorus and reverb and delay effects and with correct routing they sound very good with alot of width and depth. This unit can make your guitar cover the entire stereofield with chorus and reverbs or you can dial in a more balanced sound that fits a mix.
The pros are its easy to handle once you've read the manual and set it up correctly for intended use. The sounds are of studio quality and I can't say anything negative for the price. It sounds much better than any guitar pedal board reverb or chorus I've used in the past.
The cons are if you don't read the manual and set the utility settings correct you might end up setting the unit incorrectly and be disappointed with the sound you get. Some might find three knobs is not enough to dial in an effect and may want even more control. For my usage it does the job fine.

The Lexicon MX200 is a multi effects processor that is capable of being hooked up to your computer via USB and used as a plug-in as well as a piece of outboard gear. It has MIDI ins and outs and two 1/4 inch inputs and outputs as well. It also has a S/PDIF input and output and is powered by the power supply that is sold separately. It is a rackable unit and it will take up a single rack space.
UTILIZATION
The use of the unit is easy to figure out as a piece of outboard gear, but can get somewhat confusing when using it as a plug-in. The parameters are pretty easy to follow and it is easy to scroll between all the different types of effects that this piece of gear has. I must note that...…

UTILIZATION
The use of the unit is easy to figure out as a piece of outboard gear, but can get somewhat confusing when using it as a plug-in. The parameters are pretty easy to follow and it is easy to scroll between all the different types of effects that this piece of gear has. I must note that the plug-in section of this unit can only be used as a VST plug-in and is not compatible with Pro Tools without the VST to RTAS adapter. However, if you have a compatible system you should be able to use all aspects of this unit pretty easily. The manual for this is pretty thorough and is useful when using this.
SOUND QUALITY
The effects on the Lexicon MX200 are usable and it is pretty versatile overall as it has a lot of different types of effects including reverbs, delays, chorus, flanger, vibrato, pitch shift, and tremolo, among a few other types of effects. Each effect has its own useful parameters that allow for a good deal of control over your sound. The overall sound quality is clean and the effects sound good for a unit this cheap. I have only used this effects processor with guitar, but it is suitable with any electronic instrument you want to plug into this. The hardware and plug-in sounds are similar in terms of sound quality.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Lexicon MX200 for about three years and I have come to like it for its convenience of having so many different effects in one hardware unit and plug-in combined. The price of this is really inexpensive and makes it a great deal. Lexicon makes some great effect processors, and even though this is somewhat low end model, it is great for the price tag. If you are looking for a hardware multi-effects processor that can also be used as a plug-in, this is absolutely worth a look as it is a great deal.
