Members flanc Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 I just unracked a TC- M-One XL. http://cgi.ebay.com/TC-Electronic-M-One-XL-m-onexl-m-one-B-STOCK-NYC_W0QQitemZ110505195966QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19ba9f79be#ht_5720wt_1166 This B-Stock unit is going for $319 shipped on Ebay...I'll sell mine for $225 shipped to the lower 48. If you are interested. It has some rack rash and I don't have the original box. Still works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 Look for a used SPX-90-II, Rev 500, TC M-1 etc. Lots of this stuff out there. Even a MidiVerb IV or Quadraverb would be a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dogoth Posted March 28, 2010 Members Share Posted March 28, 2010 Lexicon PCM 70 or above. You should be able to find them cheap, used. They're a little slow at patch changing but their verbs are killer. Not as flexible as the SPX ot TC stuff but the verb algorythms are great.

Members georgestrings Posted March 28, 2010 Members Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm getting good results with Lexicon's MX200 - they can be had really cheap on the used market, and are under half the stated budget when new... I've had excellent experiences with anything by TC Electronics, also... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several, they are great verbs but I find that I need to "de-lush" them somewhat for live use. It should also be noted that Lexicon no longer supports the older stuff, so buyer beware!

Nice sounding verbs, terrible interface. Grrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Telecruiser Posted March 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2010 I like the TC M-One XL How is the user interface on the M One XL? Aged Horse is right about Lexicon's interface. Awful, but you can find them cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members georgestrings Posted March 28, 2010 Members Share Posted March 28, 2010 The MX have one of the most user-hostile interfaces on the market. Nice sounding verbs, terrible interface. Grrrr Yeah, I just set mine up for a reverb I like on one channel, a delay I like on the other, and use it that way - but I hear where you're coming from... Still, at $100 used, it's worked out OK for me... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted March 28, 2010 Members Share Posted March 28, 2010 The user interface is part of what has driven the price down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twostone Posted March 28, 2010 Members Share Posted March 28, 2010 I get great results from my Alesis Midiverb 4 way cheaper and had one of my Midiverb 4 for 5 years problem free. I know some folks bash Alesis but I really dig my rack units I own 2 of them. One for live and one for my home studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Telecruiser Posted March 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 28, 2010 I am looking at the Lexi MX400. I have six auxillaries on my MixWix 16-2. I want to be able to assign a different effect to each of the four aux's so they can be there whan I need them. Possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 What about monitors? Do you really need 4 effects? I don't get calls for 4 effects with most of the A circuit acts I work with, and I may have 30+ inputs to work with. You will have 12 input left after returning 4 effects (in mono) or 8 inputs left after returning the effects in stereo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimmyP Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 I was never able to get anything I liked out of the MidiVerb4. A friend used to get some good sounds out of a Quadraverb. My favorite affordable unit is the Kurzweil Rumour, but it's only one stereo engine and hard to find used. Very smooth, very easy to tweak.

Members agedhorse Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 I found the Midiverb 4 to be a good all around entry level unit with plenty of decent presets. It's a no-brainer for some applications IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unalaska Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 Midiverbs are pretty decent, the newer nanoverb sounds suprisingly good. I've wanted to mess with the Alesis Q20, some nice verbs there but I don't know about how user freindly it is. On my very short list of verbs I'd get the TC M-One, or M350 if on a budget. Lexicon MX400 or 500 used in mono in/stereo out format, Yamaha SPX900/990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members witesol Posted March 29, 2010 Members Share Posted March 29, 2010 i usually have no problem getting a decent reverb out of most units. even a microverb can do some cool things. it's about finding the algorhythm then adjusting from there. remember the Alesis Wedge? my favorite old timer verb were my lexicon lxp-1s. You could just grab a knolb on the fly, and it sounded great. one blew up, the other went to fix it. no rotary pots available anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unalaska Posted March 30, 2010 Members Share Posted March 30, 2010 I have a Midiverb II that I really really don't like actually. I'd sell it but the power supply doesn't work or it doesn't power up. They ain't worth much and I can't bring myself to throw it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
