Here's the boring details to my current situation:
I am gigging out again for the first time in a long time. Most of my amp and effects settings are for practice and recording levels. I have readjusted most for gig levels and they are OK. Not great but nearly adequate. I am mostly using the Boss GT-Pro in the rack and only use two settings to cover our stuff. That is a heavy rhythm tone and a searing lead tone. Problem is my GT-Pro is picking up radio signals (am talk radio) EVERYWHERE I use it. Annoying!!! Once in a while the signal clears up and all is well. To get around it I have a Metal Zone on the floor w/a DD3 and an ISP noise pedal. But I can not get close to the same lead tone w/that limited setup. I do NOT want to complicate my simple backup pedal chain w/more pedals. PS: I am moving some gear and saving some coin to acquire an AXE FX EVENTUALLY. I can not afford it atm.
I understand it is kinda working backwards but I need a close backup (or main rig) for the lead tone I get from the GT-Pro. The $$$ spent could/should go towards the AXE FX but that will have to wait. I thought a logical solution MIGHT be to get an ME-70 in the interum. Does anyone have moderate experience w/these? Should I maybe look for a lightly used GT-10 instead?
Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated. I have a couple weeks to sort this out.
