Samples of the MX200 Lexicon signal processor with my favorite amplifier. Using a 1989 PRS with Seymour Duncans. Egnator cab w/ V30. Avatar cab with a V30.
(This is an after post regarding the reliability of the MX200. This unit is built to break. The parameter selector is the worst electronic design I have ever seen. My MX200 broke after three gigs. I guess you get what you pay for)

  • Thanks for the post! I found a mint K & M jade online and grabbed it....because of this video. They only made 25 total production and i have #22. Its everything this video shows and more. Also have the Lexicon mx200.

  • @idbrn4u Congrats! We are in a small select group. Be careful with the mx200 it is very fragile and prone to breaking. Mine was unrepairable. I'm using an old Lexicon PCM 80 now. It is built like a tank and sounds even better. This is still my work amp. I bought a nice anvil case for it and would need hospitalization if it were ever stolen.

  • Great demo ... I did not know that Two Rock had been Jade ... are the Jades also like the Dumbles? Great tone. Have the following Lexicons Alex (after seeing Jeff Beck play through one), Vortex (still figuring it out), MPX G2 & R1& 1 & Signature 284 (lucky finds at GC but not without seller BS), and Prime Time. Even the Hardwire pedal has great Lexicon verbs. Thanks again!

  • @danceofthedruids Thanks, The Jade is inspired by Dumble tones and is also capable of much more compressed/overdrive because of the 3 gain stages. The eq section(s) are unmatched by any amp I have seen. Blackface Fender cleans, Dumble medium gain tones and Marshall high gain tones. I am hoping to post another vid soon featuring a PRS Singlecut which is a Les Paul clone with the Jade and a Lexicon PCM 80.

  • This is an after post on the MX200, which broke apparently by just using it normally. I looked at selector switch assembly and found it to be an amazing design of extremely fragile, low quality parts and architecture. My advice would be to buy a much better designed unit like a Lexicon PCM or an older Mrx, Alex or LXP model.

see all

  • Awsome AWESOME tone!!! Thanks for posting!!

  • @2rockjade So i bought the mx200, along with the lexicon DFS footswitch but i cant figure out how to use the switch to surf my channel presets all it does is bypass... do any of you guys kno what the problem may be?

  • I used to own the Alex....and that was amazing....dont know why I ever sold it

  • @fastercuda ...Seymour Duncans wired to push pull pots for coil splitting. Sweet Switch is now a 3pos pup selector. 

  • @2rockjade Cool ... thanks!
