| I've read a lot of posts on all the different Lex's (110,500,550,mpx1,etc.) and am considering a 550 or an MPX1. Does anyone know which is the latest version and which if any is best for steel? I understand that the MPX1 has a separate processer for rev. and one for the other fx, but haven't been able to tell if the 550 has this as well. I can't try them all & don't want to just buy the most expensive and hope for the best. I know a lot of you favor one or the other and are satisfied with the one you have & all but I'm really trying to discern the differences here. Thanks--Scott |

The website is very complete.
I would recommend the processors with 2 engines. One for reverb, one for everything else. Great lush reverbs.

| Thanks Ron. I've been there but don't see where it says whether the 550 has two or not. It says proprietary Lexchip for internal fx. ??? Well I guess that means just one, which would probably hold true for the 110 too. I guess. [This message was edited by Scott Denniston on 05 September 2004 at 05:31 PM.] |

I think you are right. If it had two, they would be proud of it and advertise the fact.
I only mention the models with 2 "engines" because I could hear the reverb sounds I like. Like most things, you can get a very good unit for coupla hundred up to coupla thousand. The did make a guitar processor, 6 string electric, that was way too complex, called the MPX2 or M2? I think. Sounded good if you could figure it out. Darn manual was about 200 front/back pages. Looked like the Houston Yellow pages.
I think you would be happy with any of the units. Guitar Center has that 30 day free-trial. |

| I think I'll go with the two engines. I understand the MPX1 has the separate rev chip and I've seen them used for a reasonable price. Thanks.--Scott |
