Any affordable multi effects pedal that can do this

Guys

Is there any multi effects pedals that can do this simultaneously

chorus + flanger + tremolo + vibrato + phaser + pitch shifter,

I know it will sound very weird :crazy: :scratchch

but do you know any affordable multi fx pedal that can do this,

bec most multi fx pedals only allow you to choose only 1 single modulation bec most of them have only 1 rotary knob on these Modulations, which only allow you to choose only 1 modulation at a time,


I know you could do these with individual stompboxes, but do you know or tried any multi fx pedal capable of combining all these modulations in 1 sound,

thanks from the replies, :D
 
Re: Any affordable multi effects pedal that can do this

Might have to go software to be able to do something like that on a budget (short of buying all those pedals)

Amplitube which I use has 6 effects slots before the amp sim you can load with each of those effects in any order, and then 6 more slots you can load after the amp sim.

Thing you can do though is bypass the amp sims and cabinets all together and simply use the software like a mfx unit, assuming you've got a laptop already.

I've actually done this quite a bit in the past, using the software to model a wide range of effects pedals and then still going into my amps front end or fx loop.

Basically the problem with mfx units is they have rather weak cpu horsepower, whereas a modern PC has power to spare.

I Just dont think your going to find any stand alone mfx that have the power to do all those effects at once.

I had a boss GT-10 which was pretty powerful, though not cheap, and I think it could only do 2 or so modulation effects in a chain.

You really need the open design of software where you can just chain together whatever, in whatever order you want, to the extent that your CPU can handle it.

Other nice thing with software is that you can set all of those effects to a synced bpm and set timing subdivisions on them each.

Very cool when you've got your delays syned up with your tremolo etc

Weird, I have a GT 6 and that I run 3-4 effects at the same time in some patches (reverb, delay, tremolo) all at the same time

Those are different effects though, reverb, delay and tremolo would be from different effects blocks, not all modulation

Most any MFX can give you delay, a mod, a verb and usually some sort of dirt pedal for example.

You might want to look at the Line6 M13 - it can do any 4 effects in its system at the same time - even the same 4. Of course, it's not cheap - $500.

Why would anyone want to do all those effects at the same time? Might as well not even bother playing guitar and buy a synthesizer. :)

Thats sort of what I've always found best as well. I tried all the guitar synths and midi converters etc but really found that to really get the crazy ambient drones and stuff I wanted a synth just did it so much better.

Guitars dont make good synths and synths certainly dont make good guitars

Having both though can be lots of fun

Thanks for info :)


The reverbs, delays, autowah, chorus are in seperate modules or groups, so you could combine them,

I am talking about combining modulations effects in the same module (MOD) type

like tremolo, vibrato, phaser, flanger, chorus,

In most cases in Multi fx, some of these belong to the same group (MOD) or there are 2 MOD groups, which let you only combine only 2 of them at a time



I am just testing the power and limits of the common multi fx, bec I dont want to buy lots of stompboxes,

If multi effects tone is acceptible to my ears, then no need to buy individual stompboxes to have that effect,

thanks for the info guys, :bigthumb:

Go find an old Digitech RP-1. They'll have most of that on there. In fact, I'll sell you mine! Why are you wanting so many effects at one time?

The Boss BF-3 can do tremolo + modulation if you use the Gate/Pan mode with a mono output.

The Vox ToneLab lets you use UniVibe and modulation at the same time.

That's what I can come up with using my gear.

I have an RP-1 also. I am pretty sure that none of the effects chains it provides can do the combination that he is asking for simultaneously. Not a bad pedal for an early generation multi-effects.
