Running EFX in PARALLEL is always ideal, but if you can't afford shipping and are touring small, then a rig in SERIES is sometimes is the only way to go. In the 1980s and 1990s I used a rig with 2 Lexicon LXP-5s, they worked fine in SERIES, the bypass worked great and the wet/dry ratios were easily controlled on the front panel. They are not 'pro' devices, but they worked great for a small touring rig. If you look around, try stuff out first, to see if it works with your set up. I disagree that all EFX processors NEED to be run in PARALLEL, some cheat by better than others…For saxophone, Eventide is the best so far for sound quality, and pitch tracking speed, amazing……
