TWO MULTI FX AT THE SAME TIME
« on: August 20, 2012, 08:23:35 PM »
I just wana share what I did to my rig. So from my endless search and trades I ended up with this equipment.

Guitar: Custom LP by Elegee
Amp: Hot Cabs 10W
FX: Nux MFX-10 & Boss ME-70

I connected the two multi's at the back of the amp with the Nux coming first. The Nux only served as a pre-amp and cab simulator and the ME-70 as my stomps on manual mode. Who would have known that the possibilites are endless. Now I will have to tinker more to get very good sounds out of these two machines. But I'm thinking of changing the Nux to a POD 2.0 coz from what I've heard, Line6 does a good job with simulators.

I will post some sound clips as soon as I get my tones organized.

I have always been fascinated with multi-effects so I'm sticking with it. No offense to the stomp box guys, it's just that I feel like I can get more from the multi than using a chain of stomps  :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's a personal thang  :-D :-D :-D

Any comments would be highly appreciated... If you guys got some tips please share... I'm more than willing to take criticisms and suggestions  :lol: :lol: :lol:

same like my current setup bro..multi-to-multi



GUITAR  ==>  ZOOM G2NU ==> BOSTON OD ==>  ZOOM G3 ==> AMP
                           ||                                                      ||
                           V                                                       V
                 DIY TAP TEMPO                         ZOOM FS01 VOLUME PEDAL


it's a hybrid setup actually but the multifx takes the major role, especially in modulations, delay, Cold-Clean tone and ambient sounds.. =]

I play mostly in church and sometimes jamming with friends [urbandub, franco, linkin park and incubus].. ganyan ka-versatile pag naka multifx, from soft majestic sound [church songs] to Hard head-banging sound [secular songs].. happy jamming sa setup mo bro!

I did the same with my POD xtl and my zoom g5. I had my pod xtl running direct to amp and G5 in the fx loop.

Working my way up for the HD500 or maybe something newer in the coming months...

for the meantime, I will tinker with what I have now but still it will be up in the classifieds (except for the ME-70 though coz this is the third time I owned this kind of multi, and why do I keep coming back to the ME-70??? the dirt on this baby is driving me insane  :lol: :lol: :lol: )

If only I were in Manila I would welcome a shoot out anytime and play with you guys  :-D it's one way to learn more about these gears that we all have... I wana try also the G3 and G5...

I'm yet to hold on a Digitech and Line6, these are the 2 brands I'm trying to get my hands on to, specially the Line6 multi's which have very good reviews like the HD series...

Most Pinoys get their tones sa FX and we seldom invest on amps, that's because most players are short of cash (i'm one of them  :-D ). That only shows our ingenuity and resilience by working within our means. We get what we want on the FX and we are contended, so why bother looking for kick-ass amps when we can get it on the effects. (I'm not starting World War III to amp lovers   :lol: :lol: :lol: wala lang talaga akong pambili ng swabeng amp sa ngayon  :lol: :lol: :lol:  )

pareho tayo mentality sir.. due to lack-of-funds, priority buying ang ginagawa ko.. i invest on effects rather on expensive tube amps and will settle on a mediocre amp [50w solid state china made amp specifically, hehehe].. saka dun ng-stand-out effects ko [zoom for me] na kahit crappy amp ang gamitin eh maganda at buo pa rin ang tunog..

kaya minsan pag nasa guitar store ako at pumipili ako ng gitara.. ipapasaksak ko dun sa pinaka mura nilang amp para makita ko kung ngsstand-out ung gitara.. minsan kasi madadala ka sa ganda ng tunog ng gitara  pag nakasaksak ito sa mga top-of-the-line amps like marshall, fender, peavey, etc...

pero nevertheless, kung may breads.. GAS lang ng GAS.. mas oks kung top-of-the-line lahat ng gamit.. hehe..

resourcefulness counts and priority buying helps..  :-D

So far I got to use 2 amp sims with common stomp configs on these babies. As I was playing I suddenly had this urge to try the stereo cable to connect the Nux and ME70. And what do you know, noise was lower, and sound was better (is it just me  :?)

anyone tried using stereo cables to connect their chain of stomps and fx?
