RE: Line mixer w 2 effects sends?

[Krispen Hartung <info@krispenhartung.com>]

I've never used the CFX, but I just sold my Mackie DFX12 
with the built in effects. The only thing I ever used was 
hte reverb, and I didn't like it because it wouldn't provide 
enough decay.  For the most part, not being able to tweak 
the parameters is frustrating, so I wouldn't recommend the 
boards. They are good for really basic, "set up quick" 
settings where someone doesn't want to buy their own 
outboard reverb or delay units. I can't remember which board 
or manufacturer it was, but I recall some mixer with built 
in Lexicon effects.

    Luis, 

    I've never heard a Mackie CFX mixer so I couldn't help 
you there.  A friend of mine who used 
to work for Mackie says that the built-in FX are a joke.  
According to him, you'd be much better 
off putting your money towards a VLZ pro.  (One of the 
benefits of living in Seattle is being in 
the midst of Mackie-ville.)

<<Hi there Stephen,

am considering getting the CFX1202 but i heard for the 
price is better to get them without FXs.
