Re: Lexicon MPX G2

Although discontinued for some reason (I'm sure findable on ebay) the 
Digitech 2112 and 2120 have a pretty good effects loop.  Although it's 
insert point is fixed, it's after the preamp.  Useful for looping.  I've 
tried the EDP in it with good results.  I actually compared it's 
distortions/preamp to the Lexicon G2 and it's no contest.  The Digitech 
blows it away.  Time based effects are another story...
