Every once in awhile, a company comes along can stand the test of time
in the ever changing music world. Lexicon is certainly one of those
few. In 1971, Lexicon opened its doors and started manufacturing

professional studio or major touring rig that did not include Lexicon

digital in the last 3 decades, as technology advanced the price points
on studio quality gear began to recede. We now are in a revolutionary

"studio rats". Included in this revolution is Lexicon quality and its
world renowned rack-based reverb processors. For this review we will be
taking a look at the MPX 550 dual channel reverb unit.
