Lexicon MX200 Review Part 1: Reverbs

In this review, we check out the various patches of the Lexicon MX200 dual effects units. In part one, we test the various reverbs with vocals, piano, snare and guitar. Be sure to check out part 2 for the various delays/multi effects.

"look at me, i'm at starbucks with my beard and my lexicon effects unit" Most beautiful lyrics I've heard in a while

[@recordingstudiotipsandrevi7747]

+tryllejens glad you liked it, it's a hit song I'm telling you, lol

[@thanosdarkseid8695]

will this work with a boss metal pedal and my guitar amp? for just power electronics noise dark industrial dark ambient feedback noise music, with reverb/distortion spoken vocals......like bands con-dom, the grey wolves, genocide organ, k.f.r, or do i need a synthisizer to connect this to??? i'm trying to find out all what i need....i am tired of playing guitar unless it helps with the chaos sound of bands mentioned.....just done with my black metal DSBM band demonic painful vocals too (peisithanatos) no one i know knows power electronics noise industrial dark ambient unless downloading free crappy digital fl studio type sounds....could really use advice on what i need to create my chaotic serenity!!!!! that's why i mentioned some main bands, or if i decide to scream power electronics noise like final solution "kill mode" is a perfect song to explain this 2nd style/vocally....

[@JimmieRomero]

LMFAO!!!!

[@curtiseverett1671]

Yeah that's strong man .... Look at me I'm at Starbucks with my beard...................so funny. What is funnier is that I just bought this used off of Craigslist ( a couple of hours ago) and I met the seller at Starbucks. But he wasn't a hipster, he was this really cool young guy and you could tell he was brilliant. Haven't hooked it up yet but I can't wait. Got it for 50 bucks with the power supply---- WHAAAA?????????????? Cool guy just kicking it down, My music "career" lol is over, I am 57 now, but I'm setting up a jam room in my garage to have some jam parties and this is gonna be perfect for vocals! I will never stop jammin .........it keeps me alive. Yeah!!!!

[@chatolars]

Great and hilarious review man...loved it!

[@willmich1]

Lol! Said it all at 3:06 Great review. This is a really good intro for using any FX board. Nice review.

[@JimmieRomero]

Great video man! I'm gonna buy one now! Great Personality.

[@lousekoya1803]

Man !,... you are so good at doing great demos !!................It really helps make a decision !...........Thank you !

[@savanaviolenta]

This MX series sound amazing,great clean crisp wide sounding reverbs.If this is entry level Lexicon,i can imagine how the PCM96 will sound.This Lexicon sounds natural,not like M350, muffled.MX's sound on hall setting comes closest to what I get when I sing in a big hall ,just listen to the tails how smoothly fade away.

[@kicksNCY]

I find that the M350 sounds better... the MX200 sounds bland compared to M350. based on this channel videos. But MX has a better design with its 2 mix knobs and those 2 free processors and architecture.

[@cullengranger7844]

Really great review

[@TheVinharris]

Bro it’s 4 am and I’m cracking up at you. ‘Girl you always come secondddd.’ Lmfao

[@dwaynearthur1476]

Perfect !! I just saw one in the Pawn shout this week . Hope to circle back to pick it up . It sounds great 👍🏽.

[@shckltnebay]

Well did you?

[@jonaherdman9287]

8:14 sounds amazing

[@pizzamanmep]

Great reviews along with the TC M350

[@pointsofhonesty]

great job bud

[@pedrogavilan4770]

Wow You really know your stuff Thanks for the info N btw nice lyrics 😂 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Unplugged704]

Great tutorial! Best demo on this! I have a DBX compressor and BBE 882i maximizer. Can’t wait to pick this up and connect to those. Only need it for vocals - home karaoke! How would you setup to use both engines? Saw another video the guy said best to use both engines-thicken or double the vocals. Sounded awesome. But he did not show how to set it

[@BrendanDHara]

So, I have a very similar setup. I have the sm7b and the lexicon mx200 with a focusrite 18i20 interface. I am just kind of confused how I hook it up to the interface. Do you know of any videos or resources that deal with this?

[@Dara-hx2pt]

thank you bro, very clear instruction, I have one of this Lexicon mx200 and mackie mixer, I have so much trouble for adjustment. is that ok of I plug my microphone traight to left input of the Lexicon, and the output go to the microphone input of the mixer? do you think TC helicon vocal effect mic machanic sound better than lexicon for karaoke?

[@denistaaffe7609]

I bought the h9 eventide hype and blew a bunch of money only to discover that the mx200 is as good sound quality and does all I need it too.

[@thedrunkenfish5855]

Re sale value my friend

[@whitebullfilms4826]

Music gear comes first, and u comes second :D hahaha So good!!! Thank you so much for this review, it has been super helpful!!! Thanks man!!!

[@Dara-sv7ql]

Hi If I use this Lexicon for microphone only, can I use both processors 1 and 2 at the same time? Or I just only use either one?

[@volvot5turbo]

cubase on board reverb or external effects? which is better? also, can this multi assign to many tracks with different reverb settings?

[@user-lt4cy1ln9g]

Hey man I have the same reverb that I'm going to be pairing up soon with a Vintage Teac 2 A analog summing mixer for my vocals. I master to cassette. Looking forward to learning how to use all of this together. Anyways I had to comment because I notice you also have sheet rock screws holding you gear in. LOL I built my own desk by adding onto a small TV stand. People are amazed when I tell them it's home made. Anyways, thanks for a cool video.

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

You have a nice tone to your voice.

[@ItaiIfrach]

Hey is it the same sounds as the MX300 and MX400 ? Thanks

[@valentinesiro3569]

Can you use the reverb mx200/mx350 to play audio music and will there be any effect

[@israelolumide6916]

Hi, I just bought this device for my saxophone. Could someone please tell me how to get the best from the device. Thanks

[@MakingMadBeats]

This or the TC Electronic M350? Do you use it for tracking only or do you record with FX included?

[@Dara-sv7ql]

And the input, do you plug in both left and right input or just the left monal?

[@mehdiqurbanli]

Gents, does anyone know the music at the begining and at the end? Thanks

[@tunabolt]

Hi! What mic-pre was the SM7B hooked up to? Was the MX200 running inline or parallel?

[@SchmauSy.Official]

How to connect to a Audio Interface - to record in the DAW or to use on master.

[@Sykologist_Music]

Any video on connecting it to my pro tools via USB connection? thanks

[@fezzik4692]

whats that awful high pitched whine that comes in around 0:53 in video? Is that room noise or the MX200 unit?

[@TJTBest]

I hear the same high tone. I hope it didn't came from the MX200...

[@charlescharamba1976]

Many thanks sir

[@triplebacon1]

'music gear comes first' ha ha! ;-) pleasant review nice

[@onzkicg]

sounds good, is it still practical to buy now? I’m torn if today’s VST (waves etc) can blow this out of water. I just want to sing karaoke and add some effects to it.. via laptop of hardware. What I don’t like with laptop effects is too many setup to do.

[@rigmbaring4101]

I need help please! My lexicon mx200 largehall effets does not sound thesame as the first few times tha i've used it. Almost all effects in the first column of the effx fro t panel. Can anyone help me? Thank you

[@thanhminhnguyen1825]

Thanks so much

[@amazingwomenofsports1464]

hilarious! love it

[@korgkorgevich9024]

you have the best reviews on reverb! ;) by the way, what can you say about this two reverbs? what of this two you like much more? as for me - tc electronic m350 is better. sound is more "juicy", more "fat", extensive and voluminous. tell, what you think about this? ;)

[@recordingstudiotipsandrevi7747]

+Korg Korgevich thanks. They are both very good. Soundwise, I would say the TC is much more luscious sounding with big halls and the voice reverbs are more natural. The lexicon had a much denser, thickness too it. I usually like to use a lexicon plate on vocals and a TC hall on instruments (piano, strings, pads, etc). It's all preference, you really can't go wrong with either unit

[@FarhanMansuri1]

in pingpong tc electronic is best or lexicon...? which is the best

[@DiamondWoodStudios]

Just a question, is it possible to make the signal full wet?

[@xblood1978]

Can you do a shimmer type verb with this

[@robsmusicshop5966]

Can you show me how to connect it..I have one but i dont know how to hook it up..i need help

[@jungacayan7805]

ex.if i don't have a Mixer,,,,can i plug the Mic directly to a Left input going out to the Left out of Lexicon MX200?,,,,,,,,,,,,,is it ok to use?,,,,,,

[@savanaviolenta]

You need a mic pre amp before going into the MX200

[@hleealee]

Can you show how to connect to the mixer 2?

[@Ramirez8755]

how is it connected in the back

[@bobcatt2294]

Can you save user settings?

[@anibaldasilva1492]

Excelent!! Thanks.

[@vikramswadatkar7258]

How to connect Lexicon MX200 to mixer....Pls Guide me.

[@jvonnjvonn4688]

But how do u use it if u trying to do automation ?😕 On a certain part of a vocal

[@pingpong9397]

Thank you so much!!

[@recordingstudiotipsandrevi7747]

+Ping Pong my pleasure!

[@shckltnebay]

Can you plug an electric strait in and out to an amp?

[@bobcatt2294]

How this compare to the Eventide H9?

[@myspacecomaffwj]

If I'm running stereo setup, 2 amps, Which routing option would I use for using effects for one amp and no effects to the other amp? (Wet/dry)

[@myspacecomaffwj]

How do you run processor 1 through amp A only, then processor 2 through amp B only? Which routing option would I use for this?

[@nairo_music]

is this thing fully analog?

[@jeetbal2062]

Nice testing brother I like lexicon200 haha🤣🤣

[@adamsansom4822]

When was this unit created/released?

[@Mr_Bollie]

Loving your voice. Can you read us a bedtime story? :D

[@almightysam2623]

Yoo you can do a video on the hardware in the back so I can set it up bro

[@denistaaffe7609]

I just compared the lowly mx200 and the eventide $699 h9 max and the lexicon is as clean and good sounding as the h9, in my guitar f/x loop for delays reverbs,etc...

[@andyroy255]

I am thinking about getting an H9, but would be really happy if I could get my reverb fix here! What signal level comes out of your efx loop?

[@denistaaffe7609]

hi, I have tried it with line level and guitar level -10 and+4, mx200 handles both, I am not knocking the h9 which is awesome, but the mx200 is so surprisingly close

[@John_Michael2000]

Was he never going to explain the point of having 2 processors? What is the orange light for? Is that so you can combine reverbs? Does that means Large Plate + Studio delay as an example?

[@nikshiko3132]

help please, lexicon mx200 vs tc electronic m350???

[@nagakiba27]

thanks

[@hsoundlalamusa9997]

Good Very Nice 👍 Video

[@jdm99prelude]

Can i get your vocal settings, i cant get mine to sound like that.

[@mayito3334]

jdm99prelude lol

[@djnasirkaptai9410]

Lexcone mx 400 ton making pls .a video

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

It was the sponge all along, damn.

[@anthonynguyen817]

I think this is studio mix already not record realtime with a cam, that's why is sound so good .I think this guy work for lexicon lol

[@uBaHoB_uBaH]

In this case, he also works on tc electronic.)

[@brianevans2672]

3:06 - 3:20 SUBSCRIBED!

[@miekwavesoundlab]

@0:55 there’s a really loud high pitch noise

[@DonLee480]

Curious how this model measures up to the mx300, mx400 and up? On Amazon the mx300 & mx4000 have poor reviews. Btw, can you tell me who the artist and title of the piano music you sampled?

[@Widow-Cicada]

The mx300 does everything the 200 does, and a bit of what the mx400 does. It has the front panel nav + XLR and TLR 1/4 inch inputs and outputs like the 400 has. And Is just a bit of an upgrade from the 200 (more reverb options)

[@stevehernandez2460]

can this be powered usb?

[@recordingstudiotipsandrevi7747]

+Steve Hernandez I don't think so

[@KUPHSER]

can anyone recommend a serious reverb unit for around $1000? even if its second hand but legendary, i just want a legit reverb unit

[@KUPHSER]

***** yea i totally agree, but i also wanted to point out im prepared to spend up to $1000. but in the scheme of things 1000 isn't much for quality that will last. id say thats cheap

[@KUPHSER]

but cheaper is bonus no doubt!

[@jerseyjim307]

KUPHSER Yes..I have an original HAMOND REVERB ..SPRING ..UNIT...CONTACT ME IT'S FOR SALE...

[@BenHall289]

[@bobcatt2294]

Have you ever thought about doing some stand-up comedy?

[@wulfgyr4244]

You skipped the opportunity to sing "In the Air Tonight" with gated reverb?

[@kennanthaum2295]

ภาษาไทยมีรึเปล่าครับผม

[@jungacayan7805]

i watch this demo 1,,,and i watch part 2,,,,,,,i think you forgot to show us Processor 2,,,,,,,,,all i can see is you touch only Processor 1 am i corect,ok you explain it very nice,,,,,,but we need you control pls.Processor 2 so that we can explore it too

[@savanaviolenta]

From what there is available on KZbin concerning multi fx rack units in the 500$ price range I've heard Alesis anniversary 2,TC M100,M350 ,M One XL and the LEXICON MX series none of the above mentioned except Lexicon MX300 sounded as realistic as the MX300.Im not saying it's perfect but from all the rest the MX300 have the most realistic sound IMO.all the rest nasty artifacts.

[@SamsulArifin-ur1st]

Mede in japan yes

[@michaeldyck1540]

[@DanRodriguez1]

This unit is actually pretty cheap and having an external effects unit help you to save cpu power

[@RockmannMusic]

Nice review, in parts shitty & cheap sounding reverb box . .but still better than the absolutely shitty & dirt cheap sounding MPX100 : )
