The story is that this was purchased originally from a now de-funked recording studio, and some how left unopened since 93, until I purchased it, other than for pictures. When I received it I applied the rubber legs and tested it thoroughly, this is in perfect-mint condition. Most coveted by guitarists and others because of the analog/digital design, 128 presets all fully tweak able; lush reverbs, extraordinary delays, pitch, chorus, eq’s and flanging. This is comparable to the units selling today from Eventide, TC, and Lexicon itself that range from $1500 to$2500; midi foot controllable, plus five foot switch/pedal inputs for unparalleled parameter control, like in pictures of some of those super star pedal boards. I’ve seen these used by many of the pros today, still being one of the most coveted of all multi effects processors, and considered by its owners as irreplaceable. Completely stored in boxes and in smoke free enviroment at all times. Below are excerpts from a review upon the original release I uncovered in a search; “There's an old proverb that states, "Less is more." This adage easily applies to the Lexicon LXP-15 digital multi effects processor. Over the past 20 years, Lexicon has enjoyed an enviable reputation for high quality gear. The LXP-15 is no exception. This one-rack space unit is a culmination of the process that started with Lexicon's LXP- 1 and LXP-5 half-space processors. What sets the LXP-15 apart from these earlier units is the inclusion of front-panel editing capabilities. There are 128 factory presets and 128 user presets. The front panel is simple and straight forward. There are standard Input and Output controls, an On/Off switch, an "Overload" LED for headroom and an LCD display. Also on the front panel is a Page knob. This knob controls 16 display pages for algorithms, global setups, MIDI, etc. Five buttons control each page for parameter editing. Specific numerical changes are made by an "Adjust" knob. Initially, I thought the Adjust knob was a bit slow and unresponsive. Later I found out that even though there are no changes on the LCD, there are incremental changes made to the edited parameter. At the heart of the LXP-15 are five algorithms: Delay/Reverb, Pitch/Delay, Gate, Plate and Chorus/Delay. The algorithm parameters are grouped by functions onto five pages: Delay, Pitch, EQ, Reverb, Levels, and Modulation. This format allows you to find the same parameters on the same page and display locations in each algorithm. Parameters which are not available in an algorithm are assigned a blank space to maintain this consistent format. MIDI enthusiasts will be pleased with Lexicon's "Dynamic MIDI". This provides the user with control of 27 variable parameters. To adjust a parameter, simply route a controller to it. Five rear-panel phone jacks permit remote control of the unit's functions. So how are the sounds? Well, my initial reaction was "harsh and sharp." Lexicon representatives told me that they ship the unit with a 100% Mix setting to accommodate large scale mixing consoles. After adjusting this parameter, the sound was much, much better. The reverbs are absolutely lush and beautiful. The choruses are sweet and warm. l was most mesmerized by the Cascade patches. Lexicon took a modulating pitch delay up an octave and topped it off with a feedback loop that fizzles the sound into delicate oblivion. Breathtaking! The primary effects are nothing less than top notch. The LXP-15 is not designed for the first time buyer. It's designed for the sophisticated user who is comfortable with some degree of programming. You won't find distortion, exciter, noise gate, compression, resonator or reverse reverbs. And yes, there are some limitations to the routing functions. However, if you are a discerning connoisseur of quality and not quantity, check out the LXP-15. You'll find that less is more.” The original retail for this unit was $1050.00, this is brand new, yes you can pickup a used version for $150 to $250 less but you have know idea what condition it really is in, this is pristine to say the very least and well worth the “buy it now” price. Whether you own one, are looking for one, this would be a great buy as a back up or first time purchase. Unless you are willing to pay the big bucks for a US made processor I mentioned above, you couldn’t go wrong here, those in the know will tell you this is a remarkable unit, and to find a new one is quite unbelievable, this come with all the original boxes and manuals all still in very good shape.   As for shipping you will be charged exact charges, the $20 should be close but only for reference, insurance is optional, it will be extremely well packaged, it is 17 pounds, 22” X 22” X 6” , go to www.ups.com or www.usps.com .     Place a Bid!
