I have the same case here . I'm looking for Multi FX floorboards . Preferable with USB recording ( Audio Interface / Live Performance ) . Been eyeing on BOSS ME-25 and Zoom g2.1u


But my problem is that I'm trying to look for something which can be used by bass guitars as well cause I play both of these instruments . Any ideas ? Line 6 Pod X3 Live is overpriced for me @.@

I think it'll be pretty hard because when you use a guitar pedal on a bass, it tends to loose the low ends.

same case as thamles..

though i don't particularly care about bass

I think for me ...

I'm eye-ing on the Digitech RP255 / Zoom G2.1u ... Watched videos on youtube and read some reviews .

Was eye-ing on Zoom G2.1u / Digitech RP255 / BOSS ME25


Because : Zoom G2.1u is a little bit old now but still ok
Digitech RP255 has more features
Boss ME25's software is not Mac compatible =_=

Was wondering whether the sound will still ''come out'' on my laptop after plugging them in even if I'm not using their software ? I have GarageBand ... Will the sound be generated by the pedals itself or have to go through software ?

Which is the best bet ?


Zoom G2.1u is cheaper and got friend using it as well .
Digitech is much more expensive and none of my friends are using it .

i downsize from PT-2 to PT-Jr now to some diy board and now i think i need to upgrade to Pt-jr or sell away some pedal to fit the m9

hey guys.. currently Im using Smarvo 40w Amp... with chain of pedals which starts with Compression pedal boss cs3 into boss DS-1 and into Behringer DD600... Im using a strat copy...

I recorded this song and I put some studio reverb preset before publishing the song... so MY question is... will a REVERB pedal do good if I want to achieve the sound like the one in this song??

Link to the song: Tender Surrender Cover(testing)

i got an answer ;p the line6 m9 and m13 works damn well on bass and guitar \m/

Hmm , I think I'm getting the Zoom G2.1u . Connect it into my macbook and use GarageBand . That way , I can monitor it both from the pedal and GaragBand . But the downside is ... I'll be using this multi fx for my bass too . Set everything to clean and then only use an amplifier presets on GarageBand .

Wonder if this is a good idea ?

I still have my Line 6 Pod Studio GX for the bass if it really can't @.@

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU

M9

dun bother the zoom g2.1u might not sound good on bass. but not sure give it a try and let us know if it works. i used to owned the B2.1u great efx for its price and perfect for bass

the m9/m13 are great for both bass and guitar, but mostly for guitar right now for the dirt/distortion. the lack of blend makes the disortion/od side not practical. but the rest of the modulations, compressors, etc.. works brilliantly on bass, especially the bass octaver ,its better than the EBS Octave that it models is base on. the dimension, analog chrorus, all awesome. its really worth the price ;p.

but i wish they make a bass specific overdrive/distortion stomboxes model in their next patch that would be perfect for m9. M13 dun have that issue as it has am build effect loop. which u can add whatever effect into the mfx.

Yeah ... But now I have to take care of 2 instruments . I primarily play the bass guitar but of course , the electric guitar needs the effects too . So I kind of want something that can cover both .

I think I'm going for Pod X3 after much considerations . I can also add the FBV expression pedals into plus Pod X3 offers effects for both .

What do you guys think ?

hai thar

just wanna ask a noob question here
bass pedals into guitars? what is ur say on the different freq range n stuff

im trying to achieve a punchy kind of OD
not much gain but very solid sound (scooped mids?)
thru solid state amp (cube 30) and humbucker-equipped guitar

oh yeah btw nice M9! very nice design n looks fun to play with

yes POD X3 is awesome for both bass and guitar. buy that!!

Added on May 19, 2010, 3:21 pmwhy u want a mid scooped for bass, unless u wanna play funk and do a lot of slapping, mid scooped is sexy for that.

wait i blur u talking abt bass pedal for guitar? and u wanna achieve the punchy OD, the only way that i know is to buy a 4x12 with a high-gain amp head like mesa, hi-watt, etc.. than u can move some serious air and have that punchy, balls shaking drive.

or u can play cheat. got those amp emulators that can emulate a crank up 4x12 cabbed, adjust mic placement, etc.. i reckon a PodStudio or a POD X3 live or similar could do the trick i think

oh wow thanx
i missed something really impt.. air displacements!
i get the idea now.. thanx2!

abt the bass pedals tho, can we still manipulate the sound of a very low tuned guitar (say 8 strings)?
the prob must be in the freq range rite?

the voicing is mean for bass, there is not hard and fast rules for bass pedals on 8-stringer, best is to experiment ;p and see what works. i love the sound of a HBE Hematoma with my guitar that is drop-C

a long long time ago - half a decade...6 years, 7 years ago? lost count

must be a pain to set-up at gigs .

Regarding pedal boards, have you guys ever thought of getting a pre-made pedal board to store your pedals? And I guess it would make life easier when transporting them to gigs. I've seen some friends making their own pedal board, but considering the material used like wood, I think it might be pretty heavy to transport the pedals with a wood casing. I guess in this instance, I could modify the board below to suit my pedals, since all of the pedals are not in that shape. I have seen the board before and if you realize every two pedal (got 4 screws around it) there is like a box of thick foam with pre-made cuttings to fit the stomp box shape. I could technically cut the foam to fit my own pedals which are of a different shape.





Also in regards to pedals, anyone of you tried using a sort of midi expression pedals where you can hook them up to your pc to patch it through a vsti plugin for gigs? I guess this option allows for more versatility as you have endless options of pedals and you can mix and match as many as you wish, and you can get those really rare and $$$ pedals too. And if you do, could you recommend some vsti effects pluggins?

Its like, guitar>DI-box> audio interface> pc
Or
guitar> audio interface> pc

then the signal gets processed after the vsti pluggins
and you have your midi pedals> midi interface> pc; which this midi boards helps you to control parameters in the pluggins
and then the processed signal comes back out via,
pc> audio interface> Snake multicore> FOH> aux busses> monitors + house
or a monitor out also coming from your audio interface.
