External effects for the mpc - Whats a good effects unit

Just wanted to get you guys opinion on external effects for the MPC 2000. I've been looking at the Lexicon MPX 500 and the T.C. Electronics M-One. I've played the M-One with a guitar before and the fx sounded really nice. Would any of you consider getting two effects units in case I wanted to run reverb on one sound and delay on another souund. I really didn't care for the EB-16 although it is convenient. If some of you are already using external effects are you connecting to the MPC via midi and if so how are you saving your presets. I would also like to use these effects units with my turntable mixer for shows if I needed too. Any advice and opinions on the matter would be much appreciated[/color]

Just wanted to through this one back out their since know one replied. Still looking for an effects unit. Don't hold out on me my fellow MPCers. Peace

TC makes really good efx units for the $$$. Lexicon is the best name in reverb, but their cheap stuff is really crappy. They also make a fantastic delay - the PCM 42. My personal favorite delay unit is the SDX-330 by Roland. Very rich delays. See if you can find a used TC-M3000 and the Roland. You'll be happy.

I highly reccomend these if you ever cross paths with one. You don't get a ton of effects, but you can boost/distort, flange, tremolo, and delay, all in one unit. It's good to go with either 1/4 inch plug ins or RCA, and best of all, you can sync it with MIDI. Plus no digital menus to dig through. It's really fun for messing with sounds. Oh yeah, you can use most of the effects on what frequency you're wanting to effect. Let's say, you want your high hats to be flanged, your low kicks to have the delay, and the vocals to have tremolo. It's so easy, you select the frequency on the desired effect, and that's it. You can use all 3 frequencies if you prefer, but if you only want the high, mid, low, or a mix of 2 of them, you can do that as well.
