Default Looking for some advice on multi-effect processors - 11-20-2008, 11:35 PM

Hey guys, I've been down for awhile, glad to be back! I just thought I'd ask if anyone would be willing to give me some advice on multi-effects processors. I am looking to purchase one for around 200 bucks. I know Line 6, DigiTech, Boss, and Vox make them, but you guys know more about these things than I do I'm sure. Any help would be appreciated!!

My favs are Boss GT-8 (closer to your budget - if you buy a used one) and Vox Tonelab (if you buy a used one).

What I like about the Tonelab is the fact that it incorporates a 12AX7 preamp tube.

It really boils down to personal preference, they all have their unique features and they are all just damn good.

Ok, right now I'm mainly playing blues and anything heavy. I checked out the tonelab, they make a model with a pedal and one without. I'm kinda trying to get one to use in a live situation rather than in a home setting. Something where I can change settings quickly.

I play with a American Strat, and a hot-rodded Epi Les Paul. I'm also using a 100w 2x12 RG100.

Yep, the Vox Tonelabs are basically the same except one is for live use.... and I *think* it has a few more features than the studio version.

I personally loved the Vox Tonelab. I loved how warm it is and how crunchy it could get. You can actually download patches for it. There's a website with patches.

yeah wow, that sounds pretty good! I gotta stay in the 200 bracket though, and I can't find one even used for 200. they're closer to 300. If you see one for cheap, drop me a line and let me know, thanks for the help :yess:

Yeah, if you keep your eye open you can find great bargains. I'll keep my eye out for you. One sold for $209 on SleazeBay last week.

Craigslist would be a good way to find a cheap one, also you could start a "wanted" ad on gear-vault.

They're out there.

ugh scratch that. That pod xt live is going right back where it came from. Complete garbage. It won't even stay on and functional for more than 10 mins at a time.
