Multi-effects

izodiak · Post by **izodiak** » Tue Dec 13, 2016 11:33 pm

All my pedal board was stolen at a gig and I dont have any of the pedals that I bought and kept during years.
Im thinking of buying a Zoom G3 or a Line 6 pedal which could be better to choose ?
Just thinking of home practicing and similar playing.

That would be a little Christmas present

that fucking sucks dude... the line 6 m9 stuff is great. Never played any other recent stuff, but I think everything made these days is decent. You can always use an iphone or ipad for effects if you already got one.

Shit. Sorry to hear that mate. Never had a multi-effects unit, so can't really recommend anything, but hope you find something you like.

You encouraged me in getting that.
Because I spent and bought spring reverbs,tc delays and tried to be cool..but left my bag on stage while took a beer.

So yeah, hope they have a little of the "original" sound etc...

anyway keep it up shortscale, enjoying reading You every day !

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. That just blows. I have a Boss ME-50, it works great for home use.

WOW ! That Boss ME-50 looks massive ! (i dont have so much space in my apartment)
You think that little -

would be funny ?
Its the best for my budget

The Boss GT-1 is much smaller than the ME-80 (30cm x 15 cm), although it doesn't have the same sort of knobby interface:

That looks really shite to be honest, I'd rather get an MS-50G instead if I had a choice, although a G3 would be even cooler.

The MS-50G has a better interface, is smaller and has a metal case.

^that actually looks pretty rad.

i have not used a multi fx box in ages, but the last one i had was a boss gt6. this would have been about 10+ years ago, and it was pretty good even back then, just had a learning curve to dial in. if they're still making that line (or its successor), that might be a good idea to try. before that i had a digitech rp7 which takes you back to the late 90's. so, yeah.

sorry about your rig, tho, man. that's the worst. =[

Sorry about your rig. I love the boss me-70 or 80. Whatever ones new and out now. It's patchable on the computer and all the effects are on point. Under 300 used too. I use it as a quiet practice tool too when I don't feel like running an amp.

What kind of pedals were the ones that were stolen?

Noirie. · Post by **Noirie.** » Sun Dec 18, 2016 7:49 am

Yeah, how many DS-1's we talking here?

izodiak · Post by **izodiak** » Sun Dec 18, 2016 10:08 pm

That pedal "robroe" posted looks filled with lot of things to play around.

Ill check the BOSS multi fx around !

Well, I had TC Electronics Tuner & Big Delay, Danelectronics Reverb and Boss-Fender Reverb 63" pedal, Boss Octave OC-3 & TAP to loop Tc electronics.
Never had lot of overdrives because my little home practice amp (VOX 4w) always distorted the sound I had.
Im abit sad that it happened right now, but how they said in the song "life is life lalala"

I have a zoom g3 which I was using in the effects loop of my superego to add modulation effects ( mainly reverb, delay and some pitch shifting) to the "frozen" notes. (I use a carbon copy and verbzilla for that now.) I updated the firmware so I could run 6 effects in line at once. The go for around $80 to $100 dollars used.

robroe · Post by **robroe** » Mon Dec 19, 2016 1:38 am

i don't own that thing and cant recommend it from personal experience.

i just thought it looked cool

Noirie. · Post by **Noirie.** » Mon Dec 19, 2016 3:14 am

Like someone said earlier, maybe one of these could be cool for you.

Yeah, M9s are greattttt, but there's definitely cheaper alternatives.

robroe · Post by **robroe** » Mon Dec 19, 2016 2:37 pm

i got a Vamp 2 in the basement. it still works great and its like 15 years old.

im guessing they cost like 5 bucks on ebay now.

more like 60 or 70 bucks, but still not bad. i bet he might want something footswitchable to replace stomboxes, tho...
