Default Lexicon MPX550 vs. Virus KC effects
What do you think, has Lexicon MPX550 better effects than Virus KC? I would like to buy MPX550 but if Virus effects quality are same (or better!) than MPX550 has I don't like to buy that anymore

Personally I much prefer the effects on my MPX500 than my Virus XL.

I think the Lexicon effects compliment the virus perfectly.

I tell you what I'll do - if you give me an audio clip from the virus without FX and I'll run it through the Lexicon on a few settings and stick it on the web for you to hear for yourself.

Or better still send me a patch and I'll pop it into my Virus XL, turn the FX off and record it...

What kind of effects are you wanting samples of - the more specific you can be the better...

Reverb obviously...what else?

There is no distortion, yes to the others.

Thing is I am not going to get chance to do this until Thursday night.

I will definately do it - thing is today Stylus RMX arrived and nothing is going to get in the way of me and RMX spending some quality time together!

Thursday evening I will have some recordings on some Webspace somewhere - I promise you!

A dedicated FX/reverb unit like the MPX550 is always going to be better than FX/Reverb included within a synth.

Wrong. A cheap FX unit is crap. Virus has really quality effects (especially phaser) that are actually better than the low price FX processors.

Remember kids, when you want something cheap and good you buy two products: One cheap and one good.

Edit: But I think that Lexicon has better reverb and delays + some other various FX, but it wont beat the phaser.

Yes, which is why I said "A dedicated FX/reverb unit like the MPX550 is always going to be better than FX/Reverb included within a synth"

Cheap FX are probably similar or worse than Virus FX....



Edit: But you already mentioned that in your edit
