Effects Processor

If you don't want to spend all that money you can get an AX1500 for $200 many places. It won't have all the recording options, or drum patterns that something like a GT-8 has, but if all you're looking for is sounds and effects it's a great deal.

Hey Jason.

I own a GT-8 and I'm very satisfied with it, plus I'm still learning about what this thing can do.. I've had it over 6 months now.

Here's a great article "Modeler/MFx Shoot Out"

Has other great MFx related info as well. I read all this stuff and experimented with Behringer/Digitech/Boss stuff before I made my choice and for me the BOSS/Roland products won. <Shrug>

I am using a Behringer V-Amp 2, and sofar its giving me all the guitar sound I need for practicing. But as many people has said, its not for professional stage use.

I have the Korg AX10-G multi-FX and amp modeller, which is suitable for stage use, and I'm still finding out what it can do.

Best,

A :-)

I also have one, and so far, I'm enjoying it.
It's letting me experiment with a bunch of different effects without haing to get a dozen different pedals.
If I ever get good enough to play outside my basement, I'll likely get something more roadworthy, but for at home this thing is decent.

I picked it up about a month ago on E-Bay for $50, and it was almost new (the guy was changing from 6-string to bass, and unloading a bunch of stuff).

Thanks for all the input everyone (especiallly for that article, Dagwood - that was a really good resource). Though I have a few more options to check out now, I'm feeling better about deciding here soon.

A big vote for the Zoom GFX-1 - have a look at my previous post at https://www.guitarnoise.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=177138&highlight=gfx1#177138 and at the previous post of Wes Inman's that I was replying to!

Main reason for liking this unit, apart from its military-grade construction, is the warmth and naturalness of the sound. It may not be the most technically whizzy processor on the market, but I haven't heard another that sounds less like the digital gizmo it actually is :D

haha i've completely lost touch with whats happening effects wise, i'm still using a digitech rp3 from around 8 years ago but t still does a damn fine job and is sturdy as hell., they don't make them anymore though.

I actually just saw an RP-5 for sale at a garage sale the other day. I almost picked it up, but the guy wanted way more than it was worth. I could have bought a brand new RP-50 for less. You're right though, the thing looked built to last.
