Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
im giving this an overall rating of 2 because the sound was harsh, the quality was poor, and it is way too over priced. lexicon went downhill with this one. i ended up returning this after a couple of days of use, and bought a eventide, which was quite a bit more, but worth every penny.
Sound
sounds digitalized and harsh.
Features
has lots of reverb aligrothams, but has nothing else.
Ease of Use
its fairly easy to use if you know what your doing.
Quality
construction feels sturdy, but after a little bit of use, my right output just stopped working, and a few of the buttons stick, which can be very difficult to unstick. definitely not good quality for the price, but who knows, maybe it was just mine.
Value
way too expensive for how little it does and how poor the quality is.
Manufacturer Support
i havent asked for support, i just returned it.
The Wow Factor
it looks nice and fancy, but it definitely doesnt sound that way.

Musical Background:

sound designer/engineer, producer

Musical Style:
