«  I keep it! »

Value For Money : Correct
Audience: Anyone
I use it for almost two years in a home studio and send back to analog mixer tracks for vocals, synthesizers and groove boxes / drum machine. I mostly use reverbs and sometimes pitch and delay for experiments.

I also have a lexicon mx 200. I use the lexicon to improvise because it has knobs and description facade and other benefits for such use but allows precise adjustment of sound.

The Spx II is more professional because it allows to fine tune each parameter on the chosen effect.

What I like most about this unit: cheap these days, all we need to edit is present.
I appreciate his "cold" sound, a general mix, voices, guitars, synths ... it never disappointed me for what I am trying to do. The voice I do not would direct me to him for other contexts undue music, techno, rock 80/90, experimental ... it sounds quite "cold" and "metallic". He really has a character and I imagine that it can be difficult to use today to mix jazz bossa pop music or rather "hot" (live well happen in the studio as a plug in or use another processor ) ..dropoff window

When I had the lexicon 200, the only one I can compare it in hardware, it made me toy figure compared to SPXII and I JERTE on the idea of ​​using the lexicon 200 on my voice in comparison, except for the improvisations tweaks galore.

I like the texture of this processor, the fact that it is midifiable (we can possibly control it with a sequencer or an external controller, I did not test but it is possible). The early reflection reverb is adorable.

What I like least:
mono input (I 'do not care but must know), but stereo effects with output accordingly
the current effect is cut 1 sec when moving from one effect to another
no equalizer therefore provide one or two track mix back
its very distinctive and quite cold but that's its charm for me

Try it, I do not intend to sell it, for me it is part of the devices that have something good and special



PS. I am not an expert in this kind of devices!
