Effect for Sax Live

Motown Majic · 16th February 2007

Can I get some advice on completing my set-up for upcoming work:

Sax player Tenor and Soprano; playing Motown to Midi Tracks; I'm setting up with a portable stage (8x8) with light truss front and rear with lasers, scanners, LCD wash front and rear) after private corp. parties etc.

set-up:

Lap-top=usb=Roland SC8850 (changing to a Fantom XR for rack mount)=Rolls 203x Stereo line rack mount (1 space) mixer=BBE 882 Sonic Maximizer=two Bose PAS units with 4 subs each (using Shure clip-on 98 mike)

currently I have a Alesis Midiverb for effects; but doesn't sound good

I've been seriously considering an Eventide Eclipse. Can anyone advise me on the best 1 space rack mount effects, if there is a better one for sax...Bob

One of the best bang for the buck (although this is the 'high end slut area) with really nice verbs is the TC Electronics M1XL. Digital presets with some nice reverb and delay combinations. Also check out the new Lexicon MX series.
