Members zartimus Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 When I was a kid, I had an old Yamaha SPX-90 rack mount for delays and mod effects. The thing switched like crap, a big glitch every time you switched patches, but the algorithms themselves were pretty cool. One of my favorites was the good old reverse gate. It made it sound like you were playing backwards with a creepy reverb effect. Anyone know of some modern rack effects that can accomplish this? I was looking at the TC electronics G-major and stuff like that, but it doesn't look like it can do that. Not too many years ago they had an SPX-90-II. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm pretty much down to just my POD Pro XT these days and it can do everything pretty much, except that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluehuricane Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 maybe look into the boss gt-x's. i had a gt-3 that did what you're talking about (or at least i think it did) the 3's are only like 50 bucks nowadays too.

Members loomer415 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 i'm pretty sure one/more of the EH grail pedals has a reverse gate mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zartimus Posted February 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks for the info. I want a rack mount though. It's amazing the move equipment has made back to the floor these days. I'll keep lookin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zartimus Posted February 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hey, I see they made an SPX 900 Heck, even an SPX 2000 I'll have to check that out! It's probably just like my old one from the 80's, only 1910 times better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members red_riviera Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 It's not new, but check out the Boss SX-700 rack unit. Totally controllable reverb envelopes and a {censored}load of other cool / unique stuff. i'm using one in the loop of my XT Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Karma1 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 The Lexicon MX200 has reverse delay and reverse reverb which can give you that backwards kind of sound. It's an excellent-sounding unit and only costs around $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although in looking around I see two other effects I can't do now, a sort of delay hold, or sampler type patch and an aural exciter. The SPX units seem to have that, but man, $800 as opposed to $200 for that MX200. Decisions decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
