For the most part, I haven't bought into the big verbs and ambient spaces the Lexi puts out.

What I'm looking for is something that can do the spacey 3d ambience (and a good tremolo!) and I'd like to start experimenting with subtle harmonizing effects (I find the mpx500 useless for pitch effects).

I've narrowed it down to the Eventide eclipse but I'm concerned that it just won't be all that much a step up with concern to the verbs.

Looking for some feedback with those who have experience with these (or similar) units.
I thought the verbs were very good in the Eclipse. To me they didn't sound like a Lex, but they have a certain something and I liked the sound a lot. I think it could be good in your application but you'll have to suck it and see!
