I ended up trying to replace the internal battery in the MPX-1.
Removing the old battery was difficult but I finally got it out, however installing a new battery was a compromise. I had to apply some "high quality duct tape" to re-seat the new battery to keep it in place.
It was successful though and now the MPX-1 functions just like it was brand new. So happy I am. Yeah !!! |

Hi Kerry.
Just a quick question. Did you lose all of your "user" presets when you changed the battery?
I have a couple of those units sitting around and they still seem to work fine. I'm just curious as to the above question. One thing for sure is that no one ever stated they were "user" friendly but the sound is hard to beat.
Thanks
Ray D

I like the Lexicon MX300 Stereo Reverb Effects Processor. You can hook it up to your computer or just use the dials to zero in on your own sound. You can save the presets you develop on your computer, as a back up. Plus you can pick up profiles developed by other users. The parameters for reverb and delay and other effects are quite numerous and really give you the ability to sculpture the sound you are working on.
It is a nice unit and I found the learning curve was pretty short compared to other units I have used.
The average price on Reverb.com seems to be around $215.00.

I am still a rackmount believer and it packs a good punch for only one slot.

I have MX300's in both my rack setups - very intuitive and easy to use - highly recommend !

I found the "TC Electronics M-One" to be more 'user friendly' than the Lexicon MPX-1
Perhaps due to my own limitations ! |

| I like the effects on the TC Electronics but I believe the M one was failure prone. The Lexicon is great but the MPX1 can be a challenge. I haven't had any experience with the 300. |

The MPX 550's are still available used (on sites like Reverb). I think that was the best of their MPX and MX models.
Also. reverb pedals have come a long way - I use a Caitlinbread "Talisman". Also, the Strymon "Big Sky" is a nice sounding reverb.
