Which reverb effect for live playing?

Tomson · 28th November 2006

Hello,

I'm buying a hardware reverb effect, so I was wondering what would be the best choise for me. I'm gonna use it with clarinet and saxophone for live concerts. The price should be no more than 300$. I was reading reviews for Lexicon MX200 and T.C. M350, Alesis Midiverb4, but don't know which would be better. In general I only want a good reverb effect for clar. and sax.

Thank you very much for helping me out.

The fully editable Alesis units are pretty decent - never did like many of the presets, but the adjustable ones can get a good sound.

The old SPX90s actually had the right stuff for live.

Never liked the preset-only Lexicon stuff, but an older PCM70 would be nice.

Yamaha had the REV5 and REV7 that were quite good. And Roland had the SRV2000 which was great for live reverb.
