and it's awesome!
i have always wanted a pcm lexicon and this 80 or the 81 were high on my priority list. i would have preferred the 81 honestly, but i got this 80 for a great price. and overall, it was the best fit for me when considering the possible grail fx pieces i desire; tc 2290, 1210, and eventide H3000. i initially intend to use the unit for a classic hall verb across my tones, but will branch out............
i'm going to spend monday digging in a bit more with different combinations (gforce, friend's 1210, pedals) but for the very first day honeymoon period i'm very happy.
i spent many days in a friend's studio with a pcm 70, great classic, and use a pcm 91 every time i mix live sound, and there are things that are constants with lexicon's pcm sounds which make them legends, and yet each model has it's own thing as well.
the main features are how it naturally increases the SIZE of your tone, and how the pcm reverb is so realistic in creating the illusion that the sound is moving away from you, not just digitally adding a reverb effect to your sound.
i bought the dual fx card and added 4 mg simm memory cards expanding to 42 seconds of delay, and the updated v1.10 eprom.
i still need the lexicon pcm 80 pitch fx card for it to complete the package so if anyone knows where to find one, holla!
