| AH one last thing... and forgive that I talk so MUCH! I can't keep my mouth shut!
Effects. Yes, the eventide and lexicon stuff is fantastic. But I would like to stress that I good set of pre-amps is just as important... don't know your outboard situation.
I use the DP-4 as well and love it. I don't feel the need to spend the dough on an Eventide with my DP-4 and Lexicon LXP-5. There are some amazing cheap units out there.. you already have one of them!
The thing to consider is both your process and your sonic needs. If you don't use too many effects but use a shit ton of different synth sounds, I would say to go with more synthesizers than effects.
A nice compressor can be had for cheap (dbx's) and some nice pre-amps/EQ with a nice mixer.
I personally go for effects with that ugly digital character... the old Alesis Midiverbs, quadraverbs, microverbs, roland SRV, Korg DRV's, yamaha R and REV... I LOOOOOVE the DOD range.. and Ibanez make a few pretty cool analog effects racks.
What I mean is there are TONS of options that are extremely cheap and several of them may suit your needs. |
