Wtb multi fx

jdbwales

The great GAS circle is complete again, I got a lovely Boss GT8 a few months ago from here but didn’t like how it integrated with my live rig so moved it on...now I’ve got a little Valvestate tucked downstairs for quiet baby friendly practice and need a multi fx for it!

Everything considered, cheaper the better, ideally something in a footswitchable configuration. What’s out there?

Way too expensive for me currently thanks mate - £60 tops! Don’t need anything high tech really...

Ooh possibly! Feel free to pm with a price?

My advice is to go for a pure mfx pedal with no amp modelling, and not to mix a modelling amp with a modelling mfx pedal, because the amp modelling will often 'conflict' resulting in additional noise and muddier tone. 

Alternatively make sure the mfx you buy allows you to turn cab and amp modelling off as you cannot turn modelling off on the Valvetronix. It's a 100% modelling amp with no clean bypass option. 

A zoom pedal e.g. G3 can be found for around £80 and will give you loads of fx to play with. It has amp and cab modelling but  both can be turned off.
