Members penelope twee Posted December 27, 2011 Members Share Posted December 27, 2011 So, would this be a good option for someone that needs to play guitar through headphones on occasion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members houseofglass21 Posted December 27, 2011 Members Share Posted December 27, 2011 This thing would need to have at least as many switches as the M9 before I would consider it. 3 footswitches is definitely not enough. They need to come out with a G9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bobby D Posted December 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 hey guys! thanks for all the welcome backs and best wishes! for someone who wants to jam out and practice late nite with headphones, this is a GREAT unit to do that with. i have only run out of DSP when trying to add verbs -- verbs usually take up the most DSP power on ANY kind of modeler/effects unit. the looper on the G3 has quite a bit more functionality than the Line 6 one in the M series or the HD series pedalboard multiFX. for someone with a nice assortment of DIRT PEDLOLS -- just stick the G3 at the end of your signal chain and use it for delays/chorus/flange/verbs -- it will reward you greatly. also, it has a VERY nice XLR direct output, and running it straight to the PA system gives you some really good TONES without having to mic an amp. i recently had to play one of those low volume, can't use an amp kind of gigs..........all you get is your direct signal in the floor wedges and the side full monitors......and the G3 sounded great, very toneful and dynamic. it made playing the gig a lot more enjoyable. it also can function as a USB audio interface......and yes, it DOES come with some pretty cool editing software -- the software is not as sexy as the Line 6 editor, but it does a good job with the G3 yes, ZOOM stuff has usually been favored by metal guys, and it CAN do some really sick amounts of gain with a really good ZNR noise reduction model that works very well. but the new amp models, thanks to the ZFX-4 chip, are a whole new ball game. the G# can give you some very nice CLEAN sounds as well as very believeable low gain/on the edge of breakup sounds - i use a nice booster pedal in front to kick some of the amo models from mediumgain rhythm tones into screaming lead sounds -- using an external booster pedal allows you to save an FX slot for something more fun, like a flanger or multitap delay. i will be doing some more demos soon, so everyone can hear all the basic effects, as well as some of the presets i have written for my own use at gigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ninjaaron Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm sorta on the prowl for a new direct box to go between my stomps and the board. This looks like a pretty good option, though maybe I'd prefer an analog speaker sim... I dunno. Maybe I'll just build one. Life is full of choices.

Members the Dodo Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I made a GT-2 clone over the last few weeks and I loved all the Tech 21 pedals I had before, especially the Blonde sounds great. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Loobs Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 So can this thing hang with the Line 6 M9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 so is this like an m9 where it is just effects, or is it a "patch" where you have to use amp modeling and all that mess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tattoedsailor Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 ^^ Ditto. How does compare to M9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 well it is 3 switches less right off the bat... that alone is a dealbreaker for buying a new one comapred to use price of an m9 nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sleewell Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 i dont own one but it looks like you have to use one of the three slots for an amp sim. so if you are using an amp sim you would only have 2 slots for effects. i really want to buy one though. would like to hear how it stacks up against an M9.

Members Loobs Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Used M9s still go for well over 200 here. G3 is 150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Pretty cool little effects box. If I didn't have an M9 already, I'd probably consider something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members seifukusha Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Im getting one and if its better looping than the dl4 Im selling the dl4 good point, olle. Ive been thinking of re-getting a dl4. like Pete from the Dandys said "even though they break all the time, nothing does as much as they do as well as they do it" I had a dl4 back in the day, and yes, I did think its a pretty damn good looper/ delay, even now. bobby? any experience with the dl4?

Members etl423 Posted December 31, 2011 Members Share Posted December 31, 2011 I think I'm going to pick up one of these if I decide I need more effects in my new band. I can sell my tremolo, tuner, and compressor and just about break even anyway. I love the fact that it has a bitcrusher, too. Fuzz, OD, and G3 should be just about perfect on my PT mini. Thanks for the demo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CicadaSilence Posted January 1, 2012 Members Share Posted January 1, 2012 Ordered mine Thursday evening. Showed up Friday morning. Sweetwater is ass & titties awesome. So is the G3, so far. Really looking forward to doing some overdubs with it on my new EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members delayed delay Posted January 1, 2012 Members Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hmm.... this might be a good thing to put in the remainding space on my board. I need a looper, and the vibrato and other effects might not hurt either.... :poke: So the looper really is awesome on this thing Bobby D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
