sonic maximizer isnt that great. killer name for a product, but it's more trouble than help a lot of the time. great for program music, not so great for live.
i dont really like the reverbs in the tc m300/m350, but i'm not familiar enough with the lexicon mx reverbs , so i cant recommend one or the other.
if you really want a great sound though, get something more unique than a sm58.

dave - more unique than the 58? why? what other mic is as good as the 58 and more importantly able to pound nails and still cost $100?!
as for the sonic maximizer, ive heard great reviews and less than great reviews...ive never used one, so idk. but, it can be turned on or off on that unit.

ok. im ASSuming that the venue atleast wanted DECENT sound, so they atleast had the brains to hire a DECENT sound guy, therefor im HOPING they can make something sound DECENT. again, im ASSuming.
if this is not the case, i will simply take my sm58 that someone told me to ditch and use it on the horrendous sound guys' head at the end of the set and then thank him for ruining the sound.

dude, relax. you came here asking for suggestions, and then when you get them you shoot them down. why'd you even post?
the sm58 is a great mic, i never said it wasnt. i said get something more UNIQUE .. not better. every mic is great for one reason or another (except the mxl 604, which is terrible for everything). it's a matter of flavor.
but the 58 is super ubiquitous. if you want sometime different and UNIQUE, get a different mic. what kind of music are you singing? if you're into hard rock / metal / dirt rock, check into the EV n/d series. if you're into something more smoothe, check into the Audix OM5. if you need a crispy sound then go for the sm58/beta58. experiment and keep an open mind thats all.
oh ps - +1 on the whole "good setup + bad soundguy = good sound". who said that?? a bad soundguy wouldnt know what to do with your "good setup" and there's even more potential for trouble.
