Multi Effects

So im looking to spend a good amount of money ($2000 tops) on a rackmount multi effects unit. I want to be able to cover everything from simple delays, reverbs, and various modulation effects all the way to soundscape-esque keyboard stuff. I was looking at TC Electronics, Lexicon PCM's, and various older Eventide processors. Any one else have any input?

Seek out an Eventide?

You can nab a TC Electronics G-Force for 800-1000$ 2nd hand. Don't think they do "keyboard stuff" though.

I was in this same dilemma at one point and I researched a decent amount trying to find the "perfect" rack mountable multi effects processor. Ultimately it came down to the Eventide Eclipse 3.0. I am still saving cash for that as well as all the other gear i want. I think its just about $2000 without tax and shipping.

Thanks for pointin that out Thorns, I actually realized that whatever I get, I want it to be one rack space, which pretty much axes most of Eventides stuff. I'll start combing ebay....

No problem man. Yea basically all of Eventides stuff is >1 rackspace, EXCEPT for the Eventide Eclipse, which makes it my top pick. Ebay should hopefully have it for less.
