T.C. Electronic M-One XL Dual FX processor List Price/Price Paid: $495/$380 Year:N/A Specs:
Sound: 4.5/5 Sound and effect quality of this unit is excellent. T.C. Electronic is known for their reverbs and this unit lives up to their reputation. The reverbs on this unit are wonderfully lush and dense, and give everything from crisp reflection and tight ambience to large, airy soft echoes. The other effects on the unit are also of excellent quality, but reverb is the main focus of this unit and it doesn't disappoint. Quality: 5/5 Unit is very well built, metal casing seems durable and should survive live use as long as it's not abused. Interface is very intuitive and easy to learn, and for editing the settings, most functions have their own button to call up that function, Display is large and well lit, with large easy to read numbers and characters for the preset name and number, so it should be easy to read on a dark stage. the XLR connectors on the back are high quality, and provide a good positive lock on the cable. Usefulness: 4/5 With a full palette of effects included in this unit, it should be very useful to anyone desiring a good quality rackmount multieffects unit, especially if you need good reverbs. It should be easily at home on stage or a project studio, and the quality is good enough for use in a professional studio as well. Just as useful for Guitars as it is for vocals or synths. You can even use it as a pair of FX sends on your mixer if you want, making it useful for adding a touch of 'verb to your whole mix. I give it minus one point on the rating because the inputs are XLR-only, which might cause some minor headaches amongst guitarists using it in their FX chain, as 1/4"->XLR adaptors/cables will be needed to fit this in your chain. The use of those nifty Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jacks on the back instead of XLR-only jacks would have been a welcome addition. Overall Value: 5/5 In the M-One XL's price range, you won't find a better reverb, and the other effects just complete the package. Compared to other rackmount FX like Lexicon's MPX-550, this offers a better reverb, and matches the quality of the other effects, for roughly the same price.
