Exciter are better than maximizers. Maximizers are pretty awful, full of phase distortions.
Exciters are harmonics based.
You dont need either.

When you're young, you buy one and put it in your rack and think, yeah, this kicks ass. It adds depth and mids (I don't know the exact frequencies), but it sounds fuller. But there is also a chorus type of sound that goes with it...processed for lack of a better word. You play it for a few years, you think that you're rocking, and one day you decide to try it without it. At first your tone sounds thin, so you click it back on. Maybe the next day, you try it again without, there is just something different without, more organic. By the third day, you start with it off, and when you turn it on, you can't unhear that sound, and you think, why did I use this thing at all.
