Every once in awhile, a company comes along can stand the test of
time in the ever changing music world. Lexicon is certainly one of
those few. In 1971, Lexicon opened its doors and started
manufacturing professional studio quality effects units and quickly
building an enviable reputation. Today you would have to look very
hard to find a professional studio or major touring rig that did not
include Lexicon gear.As Lexicon built a first-tier name for itself
in the pro user world, the price points in these realms were such
that Lexicon gear was out of reach for most home users. Fortunately,
as with all things digital in the last 3 decades, as technology
advanced the price points on studio quality gear began to recede. We
now are in a revolutionary time when most home users are able to
afford to equip their basement studios and small live rigs with
equipment previously reserved for "studio rats". Included in this
revolution is Lexicon quality and its world renowned rack-based
reverb processors. For this review we will be taking a look at the
MPX 550 dual channel reverb unit.
