[Al_Librero]

i have one. for what it's worth, it's a fine desktop effects unit for its time. in fact, in my experience, it's much easier to get decent sounds from it than a Line 6 POD XT/X3.

but yes, it's old (not necessarily obsolete because the hardware never got an upgrade). go for it only if you like its sound and have absolutely no intention of reselling it.

Guys anu mas maganda? Korg AX3000G or Line6 Pod XT Live?

Gusto ko yung pwede gawing stompbox yung mga style nya. Wala ako idea bout sa dalawa eh.

[Al_Librero]

Para sa gusto mong gawin, you'll have an easier time with the AX3000G. But personally, I wouldn't pick it over the XT Live.

Malabo yun!

Not for me. Para sa inyo siguro malabo.

@Xelly Al_Librero

Sirain ba talaga ang Zoom G1XN? After 11 months mula ng mabili ko sya nasira agad then pinagawa ko sa JB SMF tapos nung maayos na after naman ng 15 months nasira na naman. Pinag-iisipan ko kasi kung ipapagawa ko pa, Php. 1700 kasi siningil sa akin dati ng JB SMF. Payo kasi ng kuya ko bumili na lang ako ng mga stompboxes tulad dalawang effects pedal lang naman gamit ko kaso aabot ng 5k yung presyo ng dalawang pedal na yun eh. 

[Super BisDak]

From experience, sirain talaga ang zoom units particularly on its tact switches. I suggest pagawa mo nalang yan, we have competitive techs here naman makakasave kapa as to labor, then ipon ka nalang to buy analog pedals in the future.

Sir/mam: I would to ask if you can provide your opinion/recommendation,I am looking for a multi-effects na medyo cheap (my budget is 5K) na pede akong mag save ng riffs & then jam with it (parang loop station), then may accompaniment ng drums/percussion....hope you could provide me some your suggestions and recommendation..and another thing yun bang multi effects na hindi namimili ng amps para tumunog ng maganda, kahit fairly sounding pede na sakin, basta wag lang medyo blurry & tunog 8 ft.underground.

Thank you in advance.

What do you mean "save" riffs? If you mean plain looping lang, then you can do much worse than a Zoom G1on/G1Xon (NOT the old G1N/G1XN pedals). I got my G1on for around P3.5k converted from Japanese yen.

Pero kung saving as in, pwede mong patayin yung unit pagka-save mo ng loop, tapos pagbukas mo andun pa rin siya, I don't think may ganun nang unit selling for P5k. The closest would probably be the old Digitech GNX3 pero malamang more than P5k yun kahit used.

Yung sira nung akin sir yung parang card na naglalaman ng mga effects patches. Lagi talagang nasisira yun kahit anong ingat ko eh.

[politicalparty]

Mga sir may tanong lang ako sa G1Xon, ang sabi run 5 effects ang pwedeng gamitin simultaneously, pero dalawa lang yung apakan nung pedal, pano nangyayari yun? Tsaka isa ko pang tanong, dahil 2 lang yung apakan niya, ibig sabihin ba nun dalawang effect (ex. 2 out of the 5 simultaneous effect) lang yung pwede mong i on and off na parang single pedal? Ang gusto ko lang din kasing malaman ay kung kunwari 5 effects nga yung sinet mo, pano macocontrol kung kailan mo balak i-activate yung isa sa mga 5 effects, kunwari delay muna ang naka on, tas saka ka mag on ng chorus, pwede ba yung ganun sa G1Xon o ibang zoom pedals? O kung ano yung sinet mong mga effects (Kunwari 5), kapag tinapakan mo yung switch ng pedal yung mismong 5 effects yung mago-off? Pakilinaw sa mga nakakaalam sir salamat.

^ i think what they mean is you can create a patch that has 5 different sounds on top of each other bro.

so if that's the case, kung dalawa footswitch niya, i think you can use two pre-set patches, switching between them if need be.


dati naka ZOOM 4040 ako, solid siya sa dami ng pwede gawin as far as effects go, pero i still put my trust in my AX1500G. 7 years and running na sa kin, still going strong. yun nga big part ng hybrid set up ko ngayon.

Correct bro. Kung gusto mo ng pwedeng patayin yung effects sa loob ng patch, Zoom G3 yung may ganung functionality. Pero super nasusulitan din ako kay G1on pagdating sa tunog at features, lalo't 6 presets lang ang lagi kong gamit (bass simulator, clean, rhythm dist, lead dist, acoustic, blues drive). Tapos ang convenient pa nung drum machine at looper for practicing.

[politicalparty]

Okay mga sir salamat, malinaw na, magswitch ka pala between patches, baka mag G3X na lang talaga ako kasi may audio interface rin pala yun, pwedeng magrecord sa PC.

[hentay]

Para sa gusto mong gawin, you'll have an easier time with the AX3000G. But personally, I wouldn't pick it over the XT Live.
Not for me. Para sa inyo siguro malabo. 

I agree, simplicity wise.  If you don't switch patches for the most part of your set, as in my case.  I'd suggest the AX3000G (For the sheer simplicity of the thang).  I only use it for modulation, the wah, a bit of boost (not the most robust Wah, but it does the trick). Still, I use an analog OD pedal via the fx loop of the AX for my drive and just switch patches (bilang na bilang yun)  when i need a bit of boost.  So far it works out for me, no matter how dated (er Jurassic hehe) the AX is.  Pero of course, kung mas malaki budget mo, then get a more current multi-fx unit, especially kung masipag ka mag tweak at magbasa ng mahabang manual hehehe.

actually bro, even on older mfx, makakapag record ka sa PC. medyo stone age tech pero it works.


what i did before was : zoom 4040 then one line goes into the amp, where i used some kind of splitter plug para isa going into the amp to provide me a monitor,
and a separate line going into the mic jack of the laptop. i used cakewalk 5 pa noon. reason i did that was i wanted to record the feedback
