Rack mount effects for guitar

[rschultz]

Hi,

I'd like to get a rack mount effects unit for our lead acoustic guitarist. Mainly reverb, although some chorus would be nice too.
Currently we have a Lexicon MX200 piped through an aux. But I'm not terribly impressed with the MX200 for guitar reverb, it does well for vocals. And piping through an aux is not as strong as using an insert direct.
The TC Electronics G sharp 2 looks nice... but $500 is way steep. I can get a used on on craigslist for $280.
Any ideas or thoughts on this?

Alternatively, he could use a reverb foot pedal. Suggestions?

Thanks.
Ryan

I realize I'm six months late, but I have a Digitech Digiverb which sounds nice on my acoustic guitar. I use the plate setting and very subtly. Pedal was about $90 if I remember correctly.
