FWIW, For freaking years I looked high & low for a Ursa Major Stargate & finally found one recently. On the console buss it can get impressively plate like. I often use the UAD 140/250…preceded by OW (especially on stereo console channels) or, Lexicon PCM stuff but, the depth of the HW box & how it envelopes the source can't be denied. Even a darn microverb used judiciously can be sweet. …The Sony being another very usable one to keep an eye out for. What is OW? I know I'm gonna smack my head when you tell me :-) |

Haha thanks gents . I love talking gear. Tony..(I hope I got the name right) Jim Williams mods are pretty great stuff I have heard. How did it change things on your LXP15II? Was it worth the price? I am curious. I forgot to mention too, the LXP15 or the later 15II, was not a cheap unit when it came out. I seem to recall it was about $1500 to $2000.00 new. In the early 90s. It was the first high end unit that met in the middle price wise for Lexicon. The 300L was in small facilities. But for the project studio the hefty single space LXP. . It weighs a lot compared to the more chip based PCM series and is all analogue IO......With 5 foot switch jacks for live selection. While their flagship 224XL come 480L was around 6k and a far reach for small guys like me back then, the LXP15II was a sampling of the big boys. like everything he does, cleaner blacker blacks, and smoother opened up everywhere, i lifted the lid to look as i can't not haha, he did a bunch of stuff i can't begin to understand.... It wasn't too expensive? |

I use a Yamaha Rev100 and a TC M300 weekly live.
The Yamaha is total junk if you're looking for anything close to natural. Very metallic sounding tails with lots of modulation. You can get some fair sounds for snare, but more for effect than anything.
The TC unit has useful delay effects and a more natural reverb sound. Much cleaner unit. I primarily use a quick slap delay and short reverb for vocals with this one. I can't compare it to nicer units that I've used, because live is a totally different environment, but it gets the job done.
