  Hey All,

  I am currently getting ready to play in a Top 40 setup with some people and the music is something I have never really dealt with (I have always be more of a rock guy than top 40), so I find myself playing everything from Heart and Metallica to Shikira and Rhianna. I figured I would keep it simple, by going with a 1x12 combo and a multi-effects unit. I have always used pedals (Carl Martin, Boss, Dunlop ect...), but with this material I need multiple sounds from clean, funk, country, rock, to heavy. If you had to buy a multi-effects unit, which one would it be and why? Thanks and I look forward to reading your responses,....

   

  Peace

  Mick

  you have to try them yourself...I own several different types/brands and they have their own perks.

  Hey Spike,
  Thank You for your reply. I was wondering about the Boss GT series or the Korg 1500 series. Or maybe another suggestion I haven't thought about for research purposes. Thanks,...
  Peace

  Hi Mick, the GT10 does have its Merits, but as with any ME unit , you will have to spend a LOT of time setting up channels to your liking , a few stand alone pedals on a board is the way a lot of the guys I play with have gone, they ended up HATING the multi effect pedals

  Hey Mike,
  Thanks for the feedback. See I have pretty much always used stand alone pedals, I guess I am just trying to make this gig as compact and painless as possible, and I figured all in one would work. Also, ease of use would be something I should look into as well, didn't really think of that aspect. Thanks again,...
  
  Peace
