Your post was a nice stroll down memory lane for me, thanks to you mentioning the Lexicon Vortex and the Quadraverb. Two mainstays in my recording rack before Eleven Rack.
I have three variations of the Quadraverb including the GT, from the days when you needed a separate rack effect for each effect in a mix.
I hooked up my Quadraverb GT for the first time in about 15 to years to see how it sounded compared to later modeling devices (POD, 11R). I was actually surprised how good it sounded, despite bad reviews online.
The effects were good to my ears, though the distortion in the GT left a LOT to be desired. But that highly polished rack sound heard on so many pop records from the 80's and 90's is certainly within its reach.
As for the Vortex, I seem to recall buying very inexpensively as I don't know that it ever caught on. From my recollection I didn't use it much.
