I'm tired of hauling my 24U rack around just for my Lexicon effects unit. I'm ready for something new,
something you don't need a degree in Rocket science to operate, preferrably something on the floor and not in a rack..

What do you use??

Thanks

Greg

I guess you are looking for a multi-effect unit, and not sepparate stomps.

I use a Boss ME-70 for practice.

Maybe it's too simple for you, don't know. Here are acouple reviews from our own knowledge base:

Depends on your budget, possibly something from TC Electronic? They make high quality units...

this is what i did
i went to guitar center and told them that i am going to buy a GT-10 , and RP 1000 and in 30 days i will bring back the one i did not like
asked them if they were ok with that , I said the only way i could no which one sounds best , is to have it with my guitars , in the band practice room--they said we're fine with that
i keep the RP 1000 because the distortion sounds were so much more realistic than the GT-10
however i wanted the effects that were in the Boss, but when it came right down to it
give me a good distortion and i'm good to go

I'm still using a Digitech GNX3 for killer Tube Screamer emulation and massive amounts of gain/distortion the unit provides. I have tried other units including the spiffy ROCKTRON EUTOPIA which I reviewed here @ GMC. Here is the link to the review

ROCKTRON MULTI EFFECTS PEDAL REVIEW

It was nice but didn't produce enough gain/distortion for my liking and didn't have enough user control. I have heard good things about the new Pod HD pedal boards and also some good things about the new dual footswitch zoom board.

Bottom line, I'd take your guitar to a local music shop and try several to see what you think. And as was mentioned earlier, you can always buy a couple and bring one back. I'd have to say, if you can find a used GNX3 on ebay (now they run about $150) it would be money well spent. Here is a pic of my GNX3 in my home studio.

Assuming that you want something that quality wise is in the same league as Lexicon then both TC, as Bogdan mentions, and Eventide (mod factor/time factor etc) make some floor units.

If you just want to save some rack space then also look at the Fractal Audio Axe-F, TC and Eventide.

If you're happy with a vst for a pc Lexicon now make a very good emulation of their PCM reverb.
