Title: Best Multi Effects at 8-15K Price Range
Post by: Metal Gear Solid on April 25, 2008, 11:24:00 AM
What is the best digital multi effects at the Php8-13K price range?
Currently, I'm looking at the Line 6 Floor Pod vs. Zoom's G2.1U.  I'm gonna use it for PC recording, home recording, small bar gigs with shiiiiiitty amps. So, I would need a really good amp simulator.

The Line 6 Floor Pod has really faithful amp sims since it is based on the pod 2.0. The Zoom on the other hand has more user support locally. And it can be quite useable for leads although the rhythm distortions are nasal and lacks the chug chug the line 6 can do.

Anyway, looking for everyone's recommendations quick!

Thanks!

If I have a budget of 8-15K i'd go for the Floor Pod (P8.4k) or the Floor Pod Plus (P14k).  :-D Kaso summer swing out sale prices lang yan.  :wink:

kaya nga nagmamadali ako kasi hanggang wednesday na lang ang sale. and anglaki ng nabawas sa floorpod. 12,500 ang orig price niya right?

but then, baka kasi kaya ng g2.1 yung floor pod capabilities. Since halos pareho sila interface. But IMO, mas maganda talaga amp sims ng line6.

parehong sturdy naman. halong metal at plastic yung line6. mas compact naman zoom though.
concern ko yung tunog and amp sims...  :mrgreen:

tama, 12.5k ang orig price.

para sakin mas pipiliin ko parin yung Floor Pod, soundclips palang sa youtube nung FloorPod mas maganda na kaysa sa sound ng G2.1u ng kilala ko.  :-D

di ko pa na-try yung zoom g2.1 pero i owned Floor Pod Line 6, last year lang.. Ok yung high gains niya. I recommend it kung Death Metal tugtugan..

edit: OT: sayang,by next week baka benta ko na yung pinalit ko sa Floor POD, kaya lang metal pala tugtugan.. :-D

that's exactly the reason. may line6 uber metal kasi ako which is a great stand alone ped. pero kelangan ko ng pang lead, tuner at amp sims. tsaka olats ang mga bar na tinotogs namin kaya ayun...amp sim ang kelangan.

bakit naman owned, why did you sell it? anong flaws niya? gusto ko kasi sa kanya "twist knob...get tone" thing. parang amp na. yung zoom edit ka pa parameters at values. kapagod. LOL! Balita ko olats yung pedal...hanggang wah at volume lang. Zoom variable pedal control e.

may nabili kasi ako na mas malaking multi na yun na nga, ibebenta ko ulit(switching to analogs naman).. sale ko din kasi binili yung Floor POD so madali lang bitawan, di masakit sa loob..hehe! pero nammiss ko na dahil mas madali siyang dalhin kaysa dito sa isa ko.. :-D

ayan sa sobrang gas, napatakbo akong megamall to try a floor pod.

PROS
super simple analog interface
killer noise gate
no hum
tube "like" modelling
mesa like distortion
boost
integrated volume /wah pedal
more organic tone



CONS
Cant combine some effects
Too simple, too limited options
No battery compartment
bulky
No diplay or indication kung anong level na yung tweak mo. Tingin lang sa knobs.
Slow patch change


Hay...gas nga naman!
Penge naman pros and cons ng G2!

no problem man. unlimitedly, some line6 setting sound fake. well digital is digital. I like the digitech sounds lalo na yung pang rhythm. kakahilo nga lang i-tweak. sensya na dude tamad ako...that's why im choosing between the zoom g2 and line6. thanks for the opinion man.

I find Korg units faster to tweak. I used to own the AX1000G and AX1500G but I currently use just a Zoom G2.... mas na inlab ako sa tunog.

yep just tried an me-50. parang analog stomp box yung layout. kaso lang hindi pang death metal. bitin. pero sige subukan ko lagyan ng addtl pedal yung g2.1. Hindi ba ako mag f-feedback? maganda ba yung znr noise gate niya pag heavily compressed na?
