sorry to be blunt, but if you spend $800 on a lexicon vortex, you are 
insane. 
there are so many better ways to spend that kind of money.

look into the new digitech studio quad 4, it's about $399 and offers all 
kinds of 
esoteric effects, including "time warp" and reverse delays. 

or, if you want to spend $800, get a second hand g-force or MPX-1. these 
boxes 
are light-years beyond the vortex. 


but it's your money.
