old but unique
I have owned various yamaha gear from the SPX series and even above the 990 something about the 50D's old unique charm stood out the most to me as a guitarist. If you are a guitarist looking at getting an SPX90 I would say grab this old bebe instead.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
pitch c, symphonic, gated reverb

With these words Youth heaves himself to his feet and suggests that he takes me for a quick tour of the building before he gets back to work. First he shows me the DDA studio in the basement, which sports a Tascam analogue 24-track, Lexicons 480L and PCM70, an Akai/Linn MPC60, and Genelec and NS10 monitors. A visiting M1 is subjected to his derision, much to the amusement of the programmer. Upstairs he shows me the 16-track studio, home to a Tascam MSR16 and a Soundtracs PC series desk, and the small editing suite with its Macintosh and Soundtools digital editing. Finally there's the demo room, with a Tascam M312B desk, Atari, S1000, Midiverb II, SPX50D, NS10s', and, surprisingly, a DX7II. The latter instrument is being played by Jaz Coleman, who's making a gothic-sounding godawful racket together with Geordie Walker on electric guitar.

contains various programs from the SPX series however the A/D convertors and lower bit nature of the 50D give it a unique charm that some may prefer while others may not.
