Guys, I am planning to get a Multi-Effect possibly before next month

So I am trying to get more reviews and feedback regarding these 2 pedals....

What do you guys think of the GT8 and AX3000G???
For Amp modelling, I know AX3000G has got very good 1...

I am not so well-versed in Multi-Effects..
I am into musics like Classic Rock, Heavy Metal, Sentimental, Alternative Rock, jRock etc.........

Would you guys tell me which u guys prefer and oso what kind of musics u guys playing
the reasons etc

Thanks in advance

GT-8 is hands down, better then the Korg in my view.

But instead of the GT-8, have you considered the Line6 POD XT Live?
Great modeling effects, great interface, great PC Connectivity AND upgradeable as well.
*
I did consider but it seems quite expensive too..

I haven't been able to try the Line6.. the price is more expensive than the GT-8 right?

I nto so sure

U guys got the price for Korg AX3000G and GT-8?
I got GT-8 for around RM1600

Korg I not sure of the price... they said is around RM1100 (less than that right?)

But actually I am not so much concern of Amp modelling..
of coz amp modelling will be great to me but i am more concern of the tone.. the sound...
especially Distortion tone... those are very important to me...


to me that comes first then only modelling

Ooooooooooh. Well, I didn't like the Zoom G9.2tt's distortion...... still sounded very digital. But don't forget, distortion is also part of amp modelling.......... we're not talking about distortion pedals..... we're talking about the distortion from the amps that they model.
*
Yeah infact, Zoom's distortion is the main reason why I dun wan to go for it....

if tone is wat your all about
then podxt/xt live is wat you're looking for
awesome amp models

btw your distortion tone will differ with each amp model
and given the quality and quantity of the models im sure you'll be able to find yours
*
So in comparions.. most of you think it could beat a GT8 ???? errr i mean based on u guys preferance.. all that.....

Look tempting.. so it won't sounds very digital?
coz Line6 stuffs to me always sound very digital.. like its amp.. Line6 Spider... sounds very digital to me....
juz to have a clearer picture.. smile.gif

again, korg technology is what is used for the modelling found in the vox valvetronix amps.
so i would say its pretty good.

if all you care about is good distortion, why not just get an amp?
paying all that money for a multi-fx when you will only utilize 10% of it is a serious waste.
*
I wanna explore more effects.. I will try to use more effects and one thing is.. I don't want the need to play with other effects sacrifices my main effect which is the distortion....
I do not want to invest in Stompbox anymore as it will costs me more and more and since I have the budget now. I feel it is time to go for a GT8...
I have tried GT6 sounds all and it sounds nice.
GT8 I have seen alot of people using them and it still sounds good. Just not sure some people prefer the older GT6 instead of the GT8. I have no idea on this anyway

I currently owning a Laney MXD120.. actually... overall it suits my likings.. and the price is quite affordable

I juz sold off my stompboxes only left MD-2 available.. so I guess I have decided to purchase a multi-effect.. Just would like to know more and understand more from all of you guys who are more well-versed in these effects. Hopefully I will be able to understand it and then at last try them myself and make a final decision.

All the comments and advises will help me achieve a better decision. Hehe

Thanks in Advance..

Of coz.. still wish to welcome more comments and arguments about the multi-effects..

Yeah
Getting a 2nd hand GT6 wouldn't be a bad idea but just can't find 1 at the moment. When people are selling, I have no budget. When I have the budget, nobody is selling. *sad*

I have gone to some Music Shops to order GT8. They don't have stock available and they called alot of their suppliers and they said Malaysia are now short of supply. Unless there are some shops who happened to keep them....
They called Bentley and Do Re Mi.. even them also don't have stocks and they claim that there are alot of people now ordering and not so sure next month you will get the stock or not. But 80% should have..

Another sad case for me...
So they recommended me a POD XT LIVE....
But I can't test them... It is abit hard for me to go KL just to test it personally.. haizzzz
too bad... I guess I may juz have to wait..

But surprisingly.. POD XT Live.. I found it less than RM1600 after discount

I don't want to limit myself just from 1 or 2 or even 3...

Since I am not a rich persons.. I can only choose 1 and sacrifice the others.. so I hope to make a good choice of it... and even given the opportunity to test it myself.. I would still love to understand more of these babies.. tongue.gif
hehe I hope you guys don't mind blush.gif
sometimes maybe not in term of sound but oso about others which I may not being able to read or find out.. hehehe so u guys' words can mean alot to me and also the fellow musicians here.. biggrin.gif

Something in my mind too

my friend is in Singapore now and coming in few days time
I am planning to ask her check for me..... but I have checked Swee Lee's price... .. it seems the price after convertion is RM1.9k.. emmm I am not sure how much less they can give too.... anyone has got any idea?

and i guess if she takes out the box and juz bring it here.. shouldn't be taxed right?

Seriously, go for the GT-8. There may not be upgrades, etc. like the XT Live, but the fact that it has its own effects loop means you can "upgrade" with new pedals etc... maybe the sansamp like gapnap et al say.

And many people have been selling and are selling GT-8 second hand, so you may want to keep an eye out for it...

And if the RM1.9k is in reference to GT-8, no way... that is way way overpriced...
*
Yeah... I juz got the latest price from Swee Lee.. the best price is S$D 787.50... Convert back to RM is far more expensive..... Ish.. sad...

Some ppl selling their GT8 but the price isn't fit the price of the 2nd hand. No offence to them but RM1400 for most of the 2nd hand used over 1 year and yet a new one just costs RM1600. I understand they bought it much higher than RM1600 during that time but everthing also have to follow market price.

Now I am just biting my luck and hoping to find any shop have any stock left on the GT-8. Seems they are all out of stock. Short of Supply

yea. its wierd .

why is it Malaysia can sell for 1550 new , much lower than singapore

Rust river : you so busy , how i know your schedule lar ? smile.gif
*
1550 new??? dude... where u got the price from??? brows.gif
But as I know... they are earning on percentage... and most of them usually give customer a 15% discount....
Maybe their earning is only 5% after the discount

hmm.gif

Last time could get for RM1500 new... I think Bents also was selling around that price. And it wasn't old stock either because the GT-8 came with the latest firmware version (1.03 at that time)...

Price difference could be because our distributor here got a better deal than the one in Singapore...

maybe .. too bad now it is out of stocks.. I called Woh Fatt and they dun have any stocks left too

mighty music hasnt updated their site since august last yr tongue.gif
i doubt they got stock also since they take from bentley.

they dun have

I called them up oredi

WORST news is.....he told me... Estimated 2 Months needed for the new batch of stocks

Have a question to ask

if I buy from ebay... U.S stuffs
Can I use it here? coz their AC is 110v and Malaysia uses 220V...

so it is just only changing the adapter or.. there is anything can direct set on the effects?
