Hello,

Can someone please suggest the most effective way to use outboard
gear such as EQ, reverb etc ... to get a digital recreation of an
original piano to sound similar ? Please listen to the 2 short
samples.

The only outboard gear I have is a Lexicon LXP-1 reverb, TASCAM M-30
mixer (with mid and low sweep eq and high 12.5 khz fixed), a dbx 118
compressor and an open reel 4 track recorder.

I wish to get the "recreation" to have a similar "color" as the
original. I'd appreciate any suggestions that you may offer.

You no doubt loaded these recordings onto a PC to make the MP3 files.
Why not use PC software that has equalization built-in? I'm thinking
of software like Audacity or Goldwave, both of which you can obtain
for free. Google will get you to the developer's download sites quite
quickly.
