Looking for a multi effects unit...

[Bryan]

I'm looking for something on the cheap that can give me some "thick" guitar tones, kind of in a Phil Collen sort of way.

Really not looking to break the bank as I have plenty invested in individual pedals as it is. Something cheap that can give me a distortion chorus delay etc all at once but with at least decent sound quality..

Thanks in advance.

I seem to be in the minority here with this, but I like my Digitech RP-250
I also had a Digitech RP-150 that I gave to a forum bro once my brother gifted me the 250.
The only diff is a few more presets and a built in pedal for the wah type stuff.
I like it.
It's easy to program, and sounds great through my PC (my PC has a subwoofer, so it helps with the bottom end).
Recording into windows and sending MP3 files is simple.
OK, well... everyone else is gonna say they sound like shit.
LOL
<fingers in ears... lalalalalalalala>


oh, and they cost about a buck (100 for the RP150, 150 for the PR250) cheap enough I figure

Look for a used GNX-1. They're pretty cheap (price wise).
It's capable of getting Phil's "tone".

Art Multi verb.

[ABSOLUT CHARVEL]

a used GT6 should be going cheap due to the 8 and 10 being out.

how about the new Boss Multi-effects unit? ME-20 or something. its got some good reviews already.

I bought a Behringer V-amp pro in an SKB case with the matching pedalboard for $250 off'n the ebay. I can't play for crap, but I can make a lot of cool noises. I was disappointed it didn't have a pitch shifter like the RP-6 my buddy used to have. We liked to hook a mic into it and make devil noises. lol

Supposedly you can translate line6 POD stuff and use it with the Behringer, but I haven't tried it.

Boss GX-700 if you can find one. I paid £75 for one on ebay.co.uk.

anyone else???

How about a GNX-2? I got someone selling one for cheap.

Same thing as a GNX1 tone wise, just more options.
The entire GNX line is capable of the same tones, you just get more features with the higher models.

[emperor_black]

how about the zoom multi-fx products? If they do one thing good, that's metal.

[Robotechnology]

Zoom G2.1u. Sounds good and is small. If you don't mind rack, a used Rocktron Intellifex or Xpression.

[thetroy]

There is a Yamaha unit that is supposed to sound good and be cheap/small. I think it's called DG Stomp or maybe Magic Stomp?

IIRC someone on the forum had one and got some pretty good sounds with it.

[Bryan]

How about this comparison.

GSP21 or GNX-2???
