I wouldn't use one for gigs; don't think it would survive very long. My GT3 has lasted as long as it has due to the metal chasis.

Why not? The ME-50 has a metal case also. I just got mine and haven't had a chance to evaluate it yet, but it looks promising.

I like mine.

Yes, it does have a metal chassis. The effects are of superb quality and it's extremly easy to use, and very quick just to add a bit of this or that instead of scrolling through menus like I did with my digitech. Nothing against digitech of course, but the me-50 is simpler and more effective.

My bad; I thought it had a plastic case. Mea culpa! :yell:

I'm not a fan of the Boss muti-effects units, personally, and use my GT3 as a mute pedal and tuner only ...

Wow, thats a huge tuner! Boss makes a little tuner(TU-2?) that can mute as well, you might think aout selling your GT3 and just getting that. You'd recoup a coupla bucks and shrink your tuner's stage footprint! :)

I like the look of the Fender one w/the HUGE display and the mute switch, too. I like the GT3 b/c it's virtually indestructable; I've played many many gigs with it and it's impervious to beer, soda, water, and smoke, in realistic doses. I like looking down and being able to read what's going on, and I have big feet, and once you add the obligatory motorcyle boots (!!), I need a giant pedal! :)
