Hey guys,
Armed with nothing but google and a headache, I think I've decided to go for one of these 3... either an eclipse and a foot controller or a g-system, or maybe even a tc fireworx... (live into a vox ac15 and studio use for guitar).
Does anyone have an idea of what the benefits of one over the other are, or is there a clear winner here? I'd like a unit I can explore and find/make new sounds - particularly haunting sounds! - but something not too user unfriendly and techie only...
One thing I'm worried about is that I hear the eclipse is quite hard to use - is this true?....also i hear that neither have good distortion/fuzz which is a shame - are there any similar rack units also with great distortion or best to just stick to pedals for that?
Any comments would be really appreciated, cheers

Hi and welcome to guitanoise.
All those units are great sounding. To me I look at were in the signal chain its going to be placed. I get the my tone first then effects post. How I get my tone first is by overdrving a 100 watt all tube power amp into a dummyload, then use line outs to other units. I also use many equalizers to bracket everything. The Equalizers are a must when you want control of your signal chain.
