1. No
2. More trouble than it's worth to me
3. Last rack kit was replaced by nothing for ages - then after about two years I bought a T2 reverb pedal.
4. I enjoyed Jurrasic World, but didn't love it. Same goes for Spy. Ehh. Not sure I've loved anything this year.
1. Lexicon PCM80 + Pitch Algorithm expansion card
2. the amazing modulated Concert Hall reverb; the post-processing you can do on the verbs (stereo chorus, etc.); the diffused multitap delays (2 x 3-tap); the sweep filter echoes (2 x 3-tap again); the Quad pitch shifters that can "store" up to 8 chords (or alternatively, have four 8-note arpeggios going at once) and recall them at will, in different ways; the auto-swell and dynamic patching features; the 4- and 6-voice chorus with "randomization" that's hard to do with anything else; the Circular and multitap delays; the flangers (some of the best I've ever heard in the digital realm) ....I could go on and on (I'd be happy to expand on it if you have a question about something)
3. nope, and nothing probably ever will, unless it's another Lexicon reverb that builds on what's already there (like the PCM90/91, Lexicon 300, etc.)--I'll certainly add other reverbs as I go, cause I like different flavors (Eventide, Strymon, etc.), but I'm "sold out" for Lexicon PCM verb now
4. Jurassic World
1) Yeah! Bogner Fish, TriAxis, Eventide Eclipse, Intellifex, Mesa 50/50 power amp
2) Dig the tones, like running in stereo. Makes for super fast set-up & tear-down. Midi programmability is fantastic when playing out.
3) Simpler pedal effects get used more in the studio. Faster to dial in.
4) That porno flick with your mom in it.
1. AxeFX II, Mesa Studio Pre, Mesa Simul 395 Power Amp, Quadraverb (in mothballs).
2. Because I love options, don't just think of myself as just a Vox or Fender guy...
3. I use my Carr Viceroy too for a more direct feel but I'm always changing...I use my pedals, mainly Strymons and Skreddys no matter what set up I'm playing. Nothing has "replaced" my rack gear. Think I need to add a Fryette Power Station though...
4. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
1. Yes, peavey 30 band eq and tc m-one xl
2. I use them at home only, when playing my amps into a load box-line out-cab impulses.
3. No
4. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes
1. Peavey Valverb, Chandler Stereo Digital Reverb, Chandler SDE-2 Stereo Digital Echo (used separately in one-space rack cases)
2. Because they each have a very unique sound. The Chandler SDE-2 is an amazing echo. The Valverb is really sweet, too.
3. No other units have replaced these, for me. The only other spring reverb I like better than the Valverb is the Tube Works Stereo Spring Reverb.
4. The Shawshank Redemption
1. CAA/CAE 3+ and 3+SE tube preamps.
2. They still sound cool.
3. You can use pedals with them, or heads as power amps. No rules. They're light too.
4. The To Do List.
