KARL FISHER Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 That depends. Do you want a floor unit, or a rack mounted effects processor? I use a Digiteck Studio 100 in my rack, and add effects like reverb, chorus, flange, delay, ect. during the mixdown, that way, my 4-track recordings remain as-played. I can always add any effect to any riff or part. You can also plug a guitar directly into the unit, and then into an amp. Cost is about 175.00 Karl (Skynfan) Skynyrd fan forever!

doc taz Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Another thing you might consider is the ability to patch through a portable player, like your CD, MP3, radio, or cassette player. (Or if you're like me, a PC Try that with stompboxes!) This way, you can practice along to your favorite tunes through your amp, or use headphones. (Sometimes I even use my home theater heheh! ) When playing with one, don't judge a unit based on its presets alone. Get your hands on a manual, or ask a store clerk to adjust the settings for you while you play. Audition the unit on a good amp. I actually like testing multiFX units on a good keyboard amp, because they tend to be fuller sounding than just using a bass or guitar amp, but that's up to you. In your price range, I think you can buy a new one, instead of getting a used model. I particuarly like the newer DigiTech units. They're very good sounding these days, especially anything from the RP lines which is in your price range. I play more bass these days, though, so I got the BP 200, but some creative 7-string slinger can find some use for that I suppose. sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
