Reverb unit for Live. What to get

[M-ManLA]

Ok I have a Gig on the weekends for the month of October @ Pierce College, and want to get a reverb unit for the setup so I can give a friends back his. I have been looking at the Lexicon MX200, and the Alesis MidiVerb4;

If you desire to make changes on the fly, the Lex is easier since there are no menus to have to scroll through. So long as you understand the four routing options, you can dial-up what you're looking for, tap tempo right from the front panel, and save really quick. The only downside is that there are only two ins and outs for two independent FX processors. Either you go dual mono all the way through or you're going to have to mix the FX to a single output pair.

I'll cast my vote for the TC Electronics M-ONE(or the XL version which has xlr IO). Its actually a dual machine so you could set a long ballad verb on one and a short verb on the other and just bypass the one you don't want, according to what the song needs

Yes it does look easier. And putting the output is fine for the size of the mixer.

That looks great, but may be a little on the pricey side. I may consider it when I start building my own system

Just saw a LEX M at a pawn shop 70 pesos....Man way cheap. Funny thing was I couldn't justify it.....Plugin's and I already own another outboard unit. I actually resisted the urge to horde more gear......hahaha.
