Just Ultimate Slacker
I know, this has been asked before, but stick with me.
I play acoustic on Sunday mornings worship, and electric for Wednesday night youth worship. On Wednesdays I use a Jet City with my timmy copy and memory boy. Not much use for clean there, someone else plays acoustic so a kinda clean sound is all I need.
I have filled in on Sunday mornings playing electric. We use PODs for guitar and bass. I always used 4 sounds, a clean tone, a slightly overdriven tone, a heavier tone, and a lead tone. All based on Marshall amps (I think the clean was a fender though)
So I just found out Sunday night is the last for the electric guitarist. i will start playing electric full time. He will take his POD HD500 with him. I have never used that, just the POD XT he had before that.
So, if you were in my position, what would you do?
USING AN AMP IS NOT AN OPTION. Gotta go direct with something. I would prefer something in the price range of the HD300, but dont want to limit possibilities in the future, so will go with an HD500 more than likely if I go Line 6.
What is better out there in the same price range? (under $500)
I used to have a sansamp gt2. If I had that I would at least give it a shot with my other pedals, but i Haven't seen it in years. I tried to find it at the house the other day but no luck. The once or twice I used it I remember the sound being very good, but never tried it with a drive in front. I could try to get a sansamp triAC to give me 3 sounds, then use the memory boy for delay on my lead sound. Put my wah in front if the urge strikes me (but it hardly ever does) and use my VP Jr volume at the end as an overall volume control. Could also put the timmy copy out front for lead boost if needed. I would put my Strobostomp in there for tuning (plus it has buzz feiten so thats a plus)
So what could you / would you do for under $500?
