Effects
The MPX G2 contains a "Hall of Fame" assortment of guitar effects
such as
Chorus, Compressors,
analog
Distortions
and
Overdrives,
tape-style
Echoes, Flangers,
vibey
Phasers, Pitch
Shifters,
and vintage
Wahs
. A bypass button can defeat any of its
76 effects, which are broken into seven types. Six of the seven Gain
effects are designed for use as stomp boxes in front of the guitar
amp, where they deliver the same sound as the classics that inspired
their design. A "Feel" control for the Overdrive effect dials in the
amount of sag associated with different batteries and power supplies.
A fully featured, programmable recording Preamp dials in tones
ranging from super-clean to high-gain. A built-in analog speaker
simulator applies the finishing touches with 16 cabinet variations.
The MPX G2 also offers a collection of vintage effects including:
Octabuzz, Orange Phaser, Red Comp, Sweep Filter,Tremolo, UniVybe,
and Wah (Type "C" or "V"), each faithful to the feel and sound of the
original. Other essential effects include
Auto Panner, Multi-voice
Stereo Chorus, Detune, Diatonic Harmony, Mono
and
Stereo Flangers, Pitch Shifter,
and
Volume Pedal,
as well as
Rotary
and other time-based modulation effects. There are also
several Mono and Stereo delay effects: Auto Looper, Ducking Delay,
ultra clean digital Delays, warm Echoes, and a JamMan

looper. Delay times can be set with time values, or rhythmically with
the Tap button. A special Feedback Insert allows other effects to be
placed inside the delay feedback loop, a studio secret used to create
some classic delay textures. A tone tool box allows users to polish
and shape sounds. These tools include Mono and Stereo Parametric
Equalizers (1,2,3, and 4-band), as well as a crossover and frequency
splitter. Classic Lexicon reverb is well represented with
Plate, Gate,
Hall, Chamber,
and
Ambience
effects. Dedicated processing
resources allocated to these reverbs guarantee their availability in any
program no matter which other effects are loaded.
