Hi, tumpang thread a bit...

I'm also looking for a new effects since my Zoom 707 rosak (the jack port spoil... suka suka no sound come out, everytime must adjust the jack)

I've tried once and fell in love with the Pod XT... but for 2 reasons I don't think I can get it... 1) it's too exp (upwards RM1.5k!!!?) 2) too many customizations that I don't think I'm pro enough to use.

My friends all Line6/Pod kaki. Ask this Pod. Ask that Pod. So I need some other perspective:

-I don't require a lot of funky effects. My main ones are:
1) Distortion (like evanescence's rhythm) and general lead distortion- not very picky on that,
2) clean (eric clapton - wonderful tonight) and
3) a certain effect that is hard to describe. If it's something like... fuzz? very light distortion-ish. if anyone here has heard the song Reaching For You by Hillsongs Australia (a christian song) you'll know what I'm talking about- it's used in the guitar solo.

any recommendations for multi-fx models that really shine in these 3 sounds? also wah is not needed because i have a separate pedal for that already. budget-wise, i plan on keeping it below 1k... but you know, i'm exploring options here, so even if it's >1k, do post it as well.

hey, i just dled and watched the demo video of the me20, it looks good, not too many fancy effects and seems easy to use.

how much is it and is there anywhere i can bring my guitar to and try it out?

actually i just want the 3 types of tones: distortion -lead + rhythm, clean, and the light distortion-ish thing. and also a delay pedal to add to the overall sound.

reason i keep finding multifx is coz it's overall cheaper...

can i really get those... 3-4 pedals for under 1k? to tell u the truth i have NEVER made any guitar stuff purchases before- all the stuff i have is handed down from my bro.

I think i'll use audacity to chop up the solo part to show u precisely what effect i'm talking about... will update later

----

here's the guitar solo... hope someone can help me identify the effect

@ajay: my zoom... the jack is already stuck in the input. i think it got spoiled when i tried to force it out (but it's stuck stiff, cant take out).

@blacktrix: this is like the pod version of the me-20! 3 stompbox + 1 pedal... how does the 2 compare?

hmm.... really can repair ah? is there anywhere i can bring it to? cos the zoom cannot be opened if i remember correctly. if can repair then good lah.
