Description

The name Lexicon is synonymous with digital reverberation. Their effects devices draw on decades of experience gained making legendary devices like the 224, 480L and 960L and the later PCM70 & PCM92. This experience enabled Lexicon to develop their own proprietary reverberation chip, the Lexichip, which was subsequently used in most of their products
The Alex is a prime example of the economies of scale Lexicon managed to achieve – a low-cost Lexicon effects unit in a neat 1U package
The Alex is designed to be quick & easy to use with 16 presets and 16 user memories.  The front panel is super-simple with a signal LED, Input / Mix / Output controls, (Mix varies the blend of effect and dry signal), Store / Clear button, Parameter button (to select the parameter to edit), a Value knob (to edit that parameter), digital display and a Register / Preset knob to select a program
Each preset has three parameters that can be edited, and modified programs can be saved into user memories.  If you want more in-depth editing than the Alex can provide, take a look at the other Lexicons & effects I have for sale
