All in one vs. multiple pedals

Re: All in one vs. multiple pedals

Well depends how much you need. I have a simple rig:

Laney GH50L with the gain set for my crunch
then wah, tuner, bluesdriver and SD pup booster infront of it. I use the volume on my guitar for cleans etc.

Thats my rig though, and simple pedals was the choice most suitable. If you are gonna need zillions of effects then a multi-effect is the way to go

Good luck
 
Re: All in one vs. multiple pedals

Im not doing much recording so im looking for a setup with minimal
hassle, I do a bit of vocals so clicking a bunch of pedals while playing and singing is just too much.
Any opinions on this from others in the same position?

Your feedback has been very helpfull, ive learned quite a few things in the 2 days ive been reading this forum, what a wealth of info, this forum rocks, thnx to those who make it this way.:friday:

There's also the guitar-to-clean-amp-plus-attenuator school which I rather like.
 
Re: All in one vs. multiple pedals

Sorry, hate to hog the thread, but, uhm, you can always get an acoustic and sing along like they used to. Nothing wrong with that eh ?
 
Re: All in one vs. multiple pedals

check out the boss gt-8 for a ton of options and great effects, or the lower prioced ME50...they have enough sounds in both of those to keep you busy for awhile.

True, but what I don't like about the ME-50 is that you can only use it in front of your amp OR in the FX-loop, instead of both at the same time, like the GT-8. This means you'd either be confined to using only modulation FX in the FX-loop, or have the full potential of the ME-50 but with the need to use your amp's clean tone. They should have added an external loop on the ME-50, like the GT's have. On the GT-8, you can just setup the signal chain to your liking, change the order of FX and the position of the loop in the signal chain, which I think is really awesome. Or rather, a necessity!
 
Re: All in one vs. multiple pedals

yes, this is true...but actually, i have never run delay in my effects loop...it is always in front of the amp. i guess almost all classic delay sounds were done this way, from Hendrix, Page, Fripp, EVH..
i currently use a GTPro, which has loops in it, so you could patch it in anywhere you wanted.
