MultiEffects Unit Thread

[kawayan_strat]

I'm a gigging musician and i extensively used the boss gt6 for 1 1/2yrs.That's 5x a week @ 31/2hrs a night of extensive playing.

My band plays a lot of genres from the 50's to the present,and all i can say is that this thing is
CRAP!!!Especially the od/ds sect.Wala kang makukuhang matinong setting.I've been tweaking eversince i got it and it's a good thing i got rid of it.

In the meantime.........back to pedals.

[your_guy]

I'll definitely go for multifx.  The benefits are just incomparable.
Um, tanong lng po sa mga experts.  Do you know how does incubus get their outerspace like sound ?  Parang sa "are you in?" at intro ng "nice to know you".  Anong modulation kya un?  Or bka synths un? Dko mkopya eh.    Thanks.

[Al_Librero]

LOL! You do know that the guy who posted before you hated his multi-effects unit, right? 

[andrew_O_O]

Me too. I'll definitely go for multifx.  The benefits are just incomparable.

i just listened to are you in....sounds like the sound that the guitarist of muse makes when he plays with his zvex probe thing...

and...

maybe you should remove the  "me too" in your post since the guy who posted before you said something totally to what your saying...

for me.kasi bro if your into like one or two genres oksha.pero if your a gigging musician who plays all kinds of music(pati ballroom  ) "OUT talaga yung MFX na'to.Araw2 ko sha ginamit sa togs for 1.5yrs,ala talaga tas ambigat pa.

in fairness naman mas ok yung ax30g.magaan na mura pa.
mas ok pa yung mga lumang boss na MFX.i had an ME5 back in'92,dat was DA BOMB!

di ko naman sinabi na pang rock lang.eto,to put it bluntly.mejo kasi nasayang oras ko sa kaka tweak.for me it did not work,ksi nga i'm a gigging musician,so i play all types of music.
para ka rin nagta-tap dance sa paglipat ng patch.hehehe

eto...i don't use the eq,amp models,most of the efx and esp the od/ds kung pwede lang.
pero la ako magawa kasi yun ang dala ko parate sa gig.OK yung features at maraming possibilities,pero tonewise,panget sha.IMHO

TRY it out first.siguro it'll work better if you use it as a preamp.tas sa power amo in ka sumaksak
baka ok pa.pero kung sa harap?di talaga swak.IMO

i haven't tried the GT8,baka siguro iba na yung tunog.

[tam_guitar]

ung mga zoom products, san ba gawa? Japan ba un o europe??? US???

sabi kasi sakin, stay away daw ako dun...di daw maganda dist sound nun, manipis, super process ng tunog...tunog computer.

eh, d2 naman daming gumagamit...ano ba talaga!

[Al_Librero]

super processed, tunog computer. hahahaha. ano ba naman yun. do they have any idea what kind of descriptions they're using? helloooo.... this is 2007, not 1984 anymore.

the new Zoom effectes are made in Taiwan, afaik. i have yet to see a new honest to goodness digital unit that's made in Europe, though.

The G series have good high-gain distortion models, IMO. kaso maraming nagsasabing medyo tagilid sa mga low-mid gain overdrive models.

[tam_guitar]

well, taga music store nag sabi nun sakin...

di ko na sasabihin what music store 

[pings15]

well to be safer, bili k nlng ng boston distortion pedals if ever hindi magustuhan yung distortions ng zoom...

mura lng naman yung bostons eh.. hahaha


makabalik nga ulit sa multi effects... how much a G7 would cost na second hand?.. 

[redjaztin]

may nagbebenta dito G7 very mint 11k nalang...pero i got mine 11k also but with hardcase and pedal board. sulit! hehehe...

gamit ko kanina sa church...SWEET! 

[Chicco]

While we're at it can you guys give recommendations on what MFX to buy? Pos/neg comments for each effects. Dati kasi Zoom lang ang preference ko. I want to hear about other effects, too.

Ok lang ba?   

[cacophony]

i recently heard sound clips of the zoom g series on www.zoom.co.jp... masyadong digital yung sound unlike Boss GT-8 or Line 6 PODxt live

[Al_Librero]

Can we define what "digital-sounding" or "over-processed" actually means?

[cacophony]

choosing between PODxt live or GT-8 is confusing... both have nice feature... PODxt live has the emulation of 4 pofessional mics while GT-8 has not...

[blues2death]

POD xt or xt live........ maganda sa recording.if you're on a budget and d mo afford ng sangkatutak na amps...ok ang POD xt, dun naman ata sya talaga na-design. pero sa gigging purposes, d ko sya enjoy.

well, first of all....dami sobrang features, nakaka lito na minsan kasi d mo alam kung anong pipiliin mo para kmakatugtog ng maayos. ang nakita ko lang na useful sa POD xt live ko ay yung TAP function.

kumbaga d mo na kailangan ng madaming presets for different songs because your didgital delay isnt in time with the song...TAP ka lang.

kung d mo natimpla ang POD, it sounds sterile and compressed. kahit malakas na ang tunog, natatabunan ka pa rin ng drums at bass....kailangan extra soundcheck ko or sobarang mabilis mag timpla ng effects.

so pod xt live...recording--good.....gigging/pwesto---nyeh

[pizarro84]

well, taga music store nag sabi nun sakin...

Sabihin mo na, jojombagin ko siya (tingin sa avatar hehehe)  tapos papakainin ko ng distortion ng g9.2tt 

Can we define what "digital-sounding" or "over-processed" actually means?

Siguro imbis na chug-chug ang tunog dzzzzt-dzzzt yung over processed 

[Al_Librero]

some analog pedals can sound like that.

[tam_guitar]

POD xt or xt live........ maganda sa recording.if you're on a budget and d mo afford ng sangkatutak na amps...ok ang POD xt, dun naman ata sya talaga na-design. pero sa gigging purposes, d ko sya enjoy.

Sir,

One question...

pano mag timpla sa PODXT Live??? kasi puro button nakikita ko...except sa EQ dedicated for AMP models
pwede mag timpla sa unit mismo? or sa software pa?

Sigurado pwede yan dud, pag may manual ka makukuha mo yan. Mas maganda pa rin talaga yung ikaw ang nag set ng presets..

I heard may lag siya in terms of responding to a player when he plays. Totoo ba ito?
