what do you have there Boss Mark?

-the only multi-effect i have here is a Pandora PX4D, which i use on making demos, recording for bt jam here on guitar central, and for pictorial lang... less effort kase di mo na kailangan mag mic ng amp

A GT-8 for now. ...i want a GT-Pro or a POD XT pro, though.

Napapagod na akong dalhin buong rig (amp&pedalboard) ko sa mga togs, lalo na pag maliit lang naman ang venue. Amp palang, ambigat na! Pag pedalboard naman ang dala ko, chances are nagkakaroon ng "incompatibilities" ang rig ko sa amp ng venue.

...well unless i'm playing on a Plexi or a Twin just like some venues have provided.hehe

Lesson learned:
One's rig can only sound consistent as a whole. The guitar, fx/pedals and amp contribute heavily to one's sound, and that there is a compromise in the slightest alteration of the chain. But I think an amp/fx modeller can somehow fair well in terms of consistency even at this compromise.

Kaya ako, i prefer may stomps before the VAMP2, after the VAMP2 FX return naman sa AMP. If i will rely sa amp for my tone mahirap yun...kapag sa gig
iba na amp paktay na hehehhe wala pala ko banda and di pala ko nakakatugtug sa labas hehehhe. imho lang po.

yep, i prefer to have a multi fx sa rig ko along with my stomps....

para pag pangit yung amp.. gamitin ko amp modeling ng multi para kahit ppno mapaganda ng unti yung tunog hehehehe/...

and its great as a backup up unit nandun na agad.

(analog distortions/digital modulations)

...a rare GEM if you can find one

Kaya lang marami pang bugs and issues eh. Of course, this is not surprising knowing that the product had just entered the market. Still, many perceive that line 6 is forcing to fit as many "stuffs" as they can in their recent line up. In return, compromises arose (-- perhaps the implications of the law of diminishing returns?

). I've read complaints about switches being less sturdy, volume pedals swelling even at 0, latency issues when 2 rigs are used simultaneously and what not.

...i hope they get these fixed soon. It seems that its predecessors are much better, especially in terms of stability and ruggedness.

Anyway, I just tried the XT Live a while ago and was really impressed with the amp/fx presets. I almost thought of buying it until i realized i still have my eyes on the GT-8. You gotta love 'em for their routing/assignment capabilities!

...regardless, the POD looks way cooler!

@ ginblue

masarap pa rin may digi. lalo na ganyan katindi. hehe

@ Pizarro

mismo na yan

@ omen

for now, yes. hehehe. ewan ko alng next year. pero malamang may upselling again ang line 6 on their pod packs for the x3. kung meron.

markthevirtuoso · « **Reply #191 on:** October 26, 2007, 09:28:47 PM »

But I swear, the size and power of X3 is just unimaginable!

But I'll wait until they get the issues resolved. Ilalagay ko to sa wishlist ko next year.

Sana mas ma-improve pa nila yung routing and assignments ng X3 - parang GT-8. Tas yung sampling and quantization characteristics ay atleast 96Khz, 24 bit - Ala Zoom G series. Pag nangyari yun... ay sus, ayawan na sa analog to!

Oi Chito, may nakita akong Vamp na binebenta ng mura sa classifieds. Banatan mo na!

Tingin ko, mas ok to kesa POD 2.0 na nakita mo.

Hey guys, nga pala matagal ko ng gusto tanong ito e, may nakagamit na ba ng RACK MOUNT multieffects sa inyo? pano ba to nagwowork? kasi i saw Butch Victoriano of south border dati using one, midi pedals lang nasa floor nya tapos nakaconnect sya sa rack mounted effects processor, bakit wala ata akong naririnig na gumagamit nito?(hasel lang ba o di maganda tunog o mahal)

markthevirtuoso · « **Reply #194 on:** October 27, 2007, 01:53:52 AM »

@pansit

I was fortunate enough to help set up Dave Mustaine's rig! This was when his tech was setting up the equipments before Megadeth's performance (I was the production assistant then). The FXs in his rack, though, are rather few. But still, the sound quality is top-notch! And they look cool (and complicated) too! hehe Downsides, however, are: (1) routings can be complicated, (2) they can be very heavy, and (3) they cost an arm and leg.

Regarding multi-fx's in rackmount formats, most of them are just further upgraded versions of the non-rackmount versions. More often than not, they have additional features designed to fit pro studio applications. I think another advantage is in terms durability - i mean you don't get to hurt the main FX unit by having a seperate foot controller to stomp onto instead.

Hey I have one. Selling it for too...or trade with a G2.1 Woops !

Maganda sya, but just not for me. Looking for something else. The modulations are killer tho !

Yeah okay. So what's an analog pedal modder doing looking for a zoom G2 ?

Na-adik talaga ako when I scalarized my 2nd G2.1. Talagang I really have to get my hands on one. I mean, my own personal unit

swordplay · « **Reply #196 on:** October 27, 2007, 06:12:02 PM »

Features of recent multi's have become really astounding. Im very impressed how technology is evolving. ang sarap na sa tenga ng mga effects ngayon gerdemmit!! napakawarm na ng mga tunog...

uhmm bro hehehe bago lang ako dito eh..
pagkakaalam ko naka midi sya....
inaassign un sa pedal board kung ano gsto mo gawin parang kang naggagawa ng preset sa multi effect kaso nga lang mas maganda un kasi pwede ka magpalit ng isang effects sa isang button lang at wala ka na pipindutin at pipihitin.. un ang pagkakaalam ko hehehe
