what rack multi-fx to get?

[hoehlentroll]

which one do you recommend for an all in one solution? g-major or sth. else?
I want to use it with my engl fireball fx-loop. I do need wah wah, reverb and delay.

The G-major doesn't have a wah, unfortunately, at least IIRC.

I really love(d) my Digitech GSP1101 - great wah, reverb, chorus, delays, surprisingly good pitch shifting and harmonization, and was easy as hell to set up. The only reason I don't use it anymore is because I bought an AxeFX.

 

[hoehlentroll]

there'll be a g-major 2 including wah. maybe I'll check this one out. does the gsp1101 work together with a valve head amp

 

[Jaymz]

G-Force has all bases covered AFAIK

 

[hoehlentroll]

that's for sure, but it is twice the price of a major. is it worth the extra money?

Yeah, I used mine with my 5150 in a 4-cable method and it worked out wonderfully. I just don't have the 5150 anymore, so my GSP1101 is sitting unused in it's box.

Get a Pod XT Pro, if you are not on a budget and like spending money get the G-force, or eventide eclipse. Yes they are worth it.

Rocktron Xpression is a good unit as well as long as you don't need channel switching (cheaper then the g-major too)

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, the XPression fucking rules in terms of quality of effects and is built rock-solid (the same can't be said of the G-Major, apparently ) - but yeah, no switching relays, just MIDI in/thru

thx for the answers so far, which one does affect the amp sound the least? I tried a boss gt-8 with the 4-cable-method and it sounded like shit.

Id say so, Devin Townsend used it in his equipment vid, the verb's sound godly.

Well the XPression lets you totally bypass the A/D conversion (and of course assign that as a MIDI-switchable patch), thus eliminating any tone-sucking potential (though I didn't find it to suck tone really at all when I had it! Though I never gigged with it, sadly, so maybe at high volumes it's different)

After much deliberation and asking around, I am going with the Boss GT Pro. A couple people have complained about it with the 4 cable method kills tone..... but plenty have said it doesn't so I am just going to find out for my damn self.

Plan on ordering mine with the Roland FC300 as soon as my amp/rack case is finished being made for my Uberschall.
