what are u trying to do again for recording or for live shows? are u looking at portability or an army of guitar tech and roadie to set-up? i saw FOH so i reckon live show and than i saw DI and audio interface and computers into the mix?

as for pedalboards DIY is the way to go if u know what u need and have the time, tools and skillset to get it done to your liking. or you can get a PedalTrain 2 or Pro. comes either in softcase or hardcase and u can hide the voodoo labs PP2+ under and cable things up neatly.

for midi controller a lot of folks use that to control their effects on stage but u need a switcher and patch all the racks and pedals, etc.. into the switcher and use the midi to control that switcher. unless folks have a gazillion pedals and racks like U2 the edge.

I got a question for you guys.
I have an ME-50 and I want to separate/pull out the distortion from the ME-50. So i got myself an EQ pedal and a distortion pedal. I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions for effects chain with the ME-50.

As it is i run:

Guitar>Distortion>EQ>ME-50>Amp

Planning to get a footswitch (fs-6) and an expression pedal so my ME-50's pedal will be solely for wah. Can you recommend me any more options? Maybe a noise gate will help? The 50's NS sucks bad so I might need to pull that out as well.

How about this chain:

Guitar>Exp Pedal>LS-2>Distortion>EQ>ME-50>NS-2>Amp

What do you guys think?

Also, does the LS-2 work with the ME-50?

Thanks in advanced!

The midi option is actually rather versatile. You could use it for recording and live shows or doing both at the same time. Suppose I am using a sequencer, I can route the buses to an empty record channel. And exit the main via 2 outputs, one for my monitors and one for the FOH.
A di box is just there to change the unbalance input to a balance input in respective of what sort of inputs your audio interface accepts. So to get all the funky amp modulators + effects to run I'll need an input from the guitar. So thats the input chain over there.

midi controller? given in the example I've posted up the Behringer FCB1010 pedals can be assign to any control parameters you wish. And I guess as for a switcher, we can assign one particular pedal as a scene change pedal to add another parameter to change midi notes of all the other existing pedals. So yea, I guess you have endless supply of controls via one midi controller. Well after all you do have 16 channels to play with and each continuous control gives you 255 steps.

Any programs or vsti plug gins you guys can recommend ?

versatile for sure. but to set the pedals, rack effects, etc.. to switchers and than expression pedal, volume pedal, etc.. and it works well if u have a rackfull effects and place those stombox and slide them into the rack and out to a midi controller.

hey guys,

jus need ur opinion...which multieffect is the best between Zoom and Digitech?

maybe can share some of ur experience..hehe rclxms.gif

actually, im planning to buy one heheh thumbup.gif

Digitech is definitely better.

Digitech RP1000. That's what you want . Our guitarist bought it recently after having some dilemma on which is the best efx to get. You can also look thru YouTube and get a really good comment on the efx you think is most likely to suit your need. Keep on rockin'

if you're on budget under rm1k, digitech rp355 is quite good coz it has the stomp mode n looper, n distortion quite good too (less digital) compare to zoom

Anyone can tell me , Digitech Hot Head better or Boss DS-1 ?

emmm thx for the advises guys...i heard digitech sound much better for metalhead....correct me if im wrong

but zoom got usb..can direct recording...haiyo...how la??

i'm guessing the digitech would be better. but then again i'm not sure. i've got a digitech bad monkey and its a really good overdrive pedal. but its not a distortion pedal so i wouldn't know. best way is to try both out and decide from there.

haha same man. i got a DS-1 and digitech bad monkey.

the monkey is good. sounds good. when need to solo with it, always cut through.

While the DS-1 is not as versatile as i thought it to be. too high on the tone knob and its damn jarring. also, it does not have the 'warmth' that i want. haha. personal taste though.

not comparing side to side between the monkey and ds1. just fyi.

Hi guys, sry I din knew there was this thread.

Findin zvex fuzz probe or fuzz factory. Would appreciate if u can provide prices or contact details of the retailer

Recommendations to other pedals are welcome

I called up JS music n they don sell zvex pedals

I most prolly wont have the time nor skills for diy pedals so i'll have to resort to buying this overpriced pedal. Blargh

consider the Electro harmonix big muff pi. cheaper and gets you into the rough ballpark, 2 less knobs than a fuzz factory though. remember you don't need the exact same gear to sound like someone, in this case matt bellamy. experiment with other pedals and find a sound that you will like, makes the experience a lot more personal and rewarding.

Thanks, will do. It's already annoying me to find fuzz factories and probes lol
EDIT: Looking into other pedals, I'm still very entranced by the sounds a fuzz factory / probe can make. Hopefully can get something thats not so....well yeah.
