jim_bass Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'm looking at getting either a [url="http://www.allen-heath.com/uk/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=ZEDSeries&ProductId=ZED24"]ZED 24 [/url]or a [url="http://www.allen-heath.com/uk/products/pages/productdetails.aspx?CatId=ZEDSeries&ProductId=ZED22FX"]ZED 22fx[/url] as a portable mixing desk. This will be an upgrade from our Behringer Eurodesk. These 2 are almost identical except one has 4 stereo channels and the other has 3 stereo channels and a dedicated built in FX as channel 4. Has anyone got any experience with the fx section of the ZED desks. The behringer desk had built in fx, but they were not really that good and they packed up after a few years of using the desk. The 22fx is about £100 more than the 24 just for the fx section. I have a Lexicon MX200 rack unit, but would prefer not to have to take it out of the rack if we need to set up PA in a different location (Lexicon will be permanently installed with a different desk in our church hall). I could probably buy an Alesis fx unit for £100 anyway, or look at a second hand lexicon but it would be nice to have the fx built in and have less gear to carry. So, what would you suggest? There is nowhere nearby to go and test either of these desks out by the way, so I'm buying it blind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
police squad Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 i've been using the zed22fx for about 3 years now. love it to bits. easy to use and the fx are good. just use a little delay and reverb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_bass Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks for the reply. Is that just for vocals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
