"There was a system by Lexicon called MPXG2 which had a 6 watt rack mounted amp along with a multi effects processor. I used this for a lot of sessions including the Britney Spears cover song "Hit Me Baby One More Time." I liked the idea of such a compact guitar rig option. At the time it was not a complete solution for every kind of tone though."

Then there’s my Lexicon MPX G2, which is a greatsounding unit by not very well thought-out; it has 300 presets but only 50 user presets—great idea, guys. I still have my Roland GP-16s, and I also used the Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere quite a lot, as well as the TC Electronic 2290.

In 2022, Rothery replaced MPX G2 units with Chase Bliss CXM 1978 reverb pedal. According to 2022 guitarguitar interview:

Then I switched to using the Blade with a Groove Tubes Trio preamp and a Lexicon MPXG2. My third one finally died, I think, so I’ve had to replace elements! I’m using stompboxes to give me those elements, including something I just bought from one of your branches, actually!
