Lexicon MPX G2

[El Chiguete]

I've really fallen for the pitch and detunes being used instead of a chorus... a very full and rich sound.  The cab sims are just incredible for me... doing some recording with them and love how clear and open they are in the mix.

Yeha I'm loving the detunes too! I've never liked the swirling of a normal chorus unless I specificly want a liquid/watery chorus sound. So the detunes will get use a lot!

As far as the cab sims I haven't played around with them because I don't have a good sound card to plug in, but I will someday.

Run it though a keyboard amp, mixing board or a pair of studio monitors!

Ohh yeha I can do that to test them out... what I ment to say is that I can't record it good to post a video or mp3 file of me playing.  O0

Ok so one quick question, the manual says that the FOOTSWITCH jack on the back is a ¨1/4" Tip/Ring/Sleeve phone
jack for three independent footswitches¨, but what does that meen? what can I use this for?

[Dante]

I use a Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) cable on my combo amp. The ground is common, the other two (tip and ring) are what send two other signals to the amp. One changes channels, the other one turns the EQ on/off.

Other manufacturers do much the same thing with a channel switch/reverb or FX mute, or whatever your amp is set up for.

[El Chiguete]

I'm not talking about the jack for the relay to change channels on an amp, I'm talking of the FootSwitch TSR jack:

The rear panel Foot Switch jack can be connected to as many as three
independent analog switches. Each switch appears as two simultaneous patch
sources.
Tog1: Value toggles between 0 and 127 at each off/on
transition of foot switch 1.
Tog2: Value toggles between 0 and 127 at each off/on
transition of foot switch 2.
Tog3: Value toggles between 0 and 127 at each off/on
transition of foot switch 3.
Sw1: Value is 0 when foot switch 1 is off, 127 when foot
switch 1 is on.
Sw2: Value is 0 when foot switch 2 is off, 127 when foot
switch 2 is on.
Sw3: Value is 0 when foot switch 3 is off, 127 when foot
switch 3 is on.

But I'm not sure what I can do with it.

1) Yes; yes (they sound real good, adjustable Q-Settings, Gain, Highs/Lows, Vox or CryBaby type)

Can you give me some of your settings?

3) ... MIDI and control options are assignable and endless....

I couldn't find out how to patch an expression pedal to the input to be able to make volume swells like having a normal vol pedal infront of the unit, can you help me out? I just couldn't understand whats the parameter name that should be used in the  Patching section.

[El Chiguete]

Only complain so far... why the hell can you only store 50 user presets????  :crazy: :dunno:

I'm gonna leave this sloppy video right here:

My nephews, both awesome musicians doing all sorts of 8 string heavy as hell tunes, were asking about the Charvel/ISP/Lexicon set up, so I threw this together very quickly just to show them... it's an EMG 81 in the bridge, EMG SAV in the neck... everything run direct with cab sims, a light chorus and delay from the Lexicon... it's a bit bright, but actually sits well in a mix...

[El Chiguete]

I haven't had mine long enough to know if there is a way to do spillover... right now, my unit does not... I'll dive into the manual tonight when I'm done teaching and see what I can find...

So have you made de delays spillover yet? I've search for it on the internet and in some forums they mention that you can do it but it's not easy (but then again for many people nothing in this processor is!).

[El Chiguete]

I haven't played with the Flange as of yet...

Still can't get this to work for me  :facepalm: how about you?

Hey Systematic Chaos we need your knowladge!

[El Chiguete]

McLeanAB I see you are back hanging in the forum, anything new to add?

[El Chiguete]

Ok so today I'm laying out how to do the preset changes in one song and I can't get the A/B to be toggle from a MIDI CC command from my Vox Tonelab LE that I'm using as a midi foot controller, is there really not a way to do it? If so then the only way to make it work is just with the R1 foot controller???

I don't know, man... I don't have the foot controller so I can't say... check the manual!!   :banana-dance:

[El Chiguete]

You don't have the R1 foot controller or you don't use it with any foot controller? Actually if I had the R1 foot controller I woun't be having this issue because it has a dedicated A/B botton.
