From: George's Pro Sound Co. on 8 Jun 2010 09:08 So when I was all digital I sold off all my good outboard, using the excellent on board effects in the ls9 npow moving back into the Ramsa Sx-1 I need to rebuild my outboard I am happy with the composer pros for my comps and picked up 16 channels for 25$ a channel off flea bay but the effects units to buy I am not so sure of I have always liked lexicons, I find thier interface as simple as they get , easy to learn and super flexible, as well as excellent sounding and am tempted to get a pcm80/90 , but do I need to spend that much to get a pro level unit is the spx 990/1000 perfectly acceptable, TC d-2? I can buy both of those for less than 1/2 of the cost of one Lexi so visiting engineer what do you like to see in the effects units you have to use I rarely mix anymore so I don't really care what I buy, it will be handed over to the engineer on duty for the day anyway George

In terms of sound, both are fine--actually the in-built effects in the LS9 are based on the Yamaha SPX/REV-X engine and sound pretty similar to my ears. Bob

I usually carry a subharmonic synth but I doubt you would find much use for one of those George. Remember you will need to get EQ now as well. DEQ2496 is the only way to go. Phildo

I'm running a dirt cheap rig for drum amplification (drums usually are not in the mains), the DEQ lets me dial in a damn good sound in every room. Without it my rig would sound like a pile o' poo.
