Members primeholy Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 I was thinking of getting a rp1000 for effects and 4 cable method. Being able to run time based effects in the loop, and others out front. I have been hearing good things about the Zoom g3 though, and was considering getting a g3 for now, and then replacing my wah, volume pedal, and boost with a g3x later. Good or bad idea? Pros/cons?

Members TomCTC Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 If you're 4 cabling your effects, I'd recommend a Boss GT-6/GT-8 instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ToonHollow Posted September 30, 2012 Members Share Posted September 30, 2012 If you're set on using the 4-cable method, TVD is spot on. Not sure if the G3 would work for that, though if you're only using it for only modulation/time-based effects, run the G3 through your effects loop and keep your wah, boost and volume pedal through the front of the amp. Onboard dirt effects are all right, but the modulation, delay and reverb are well worth its price. Now if you're choosing between the G3 vs. G3X, I found the G3X's attached expression pedal very cheaply made and not very responsive. I would stick with a regular G3, buy your own expression pedal. That's the only difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted October 1, 2012 Members Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have an RP1000 and like it. Not crazy about the amp sims, but most of the effects are decent. It sounds quite a bit better than the Boss GT stuff I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted October 1, 2012 Members Share Posted October 1, 2012 I prefer the digitech too but it's really just a matter of preference, I highly recommend trying them out in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Will Chen Posted October 1, 2012 Members Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've owned Boss GT-10, Boss GT-100, Digitech RP255/355/500, Digitech GSP1101, Zoom G3, Line 6 POD HD500 and so too much other stuff to mention. Out of all that stuff I like Digitech and Boss effects a hair better than Zoom. Digitech will give you more accurate modeling of effects included mimicking the actual controls on modeled effects vs Zoom and Boss who generally offer generic controls. Boss offers the deepest editing of them all. The G3 has the wildest effects of them all. For now I've kept the Zoom G3 and the Digitech GSP1101. If the RP1000 offered MIDI connectivity, I'd likely pick one up. Its a shame IMHO that Digitech has abandoned MIDI on all their floorboard.

Members fly135 Posted October 1, 2012 Members Share Posted October 1, 2012 For the application you described I'd say the RP1000 is a good choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
