Members goblinsolutions Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 All, I need a modeller for the following 1.Straight into a crate powerblock and 4x12 cab.SO i assume good straight soudn with no cab emulation 2.Straight to desk for when im being lazy with moving gear. I have tried the xt and it seems to lack low mids on the high gain models.the vox is a bit big to be lugging around. I am currently using a boss ds-1 and sd-1 into the crate and that sound really good,but cant use these straight to PA. Whats the GT8 like? can i get a sound like sd-1>ds-1 >jcm800 model straight to the pa ? im after chunky mid heavy 80s metal soudns(think whitesnake 87) have spent waay too mutch on toys in the past and need a jack of all trades so i can simply the stuff i have thanks Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bluesmann Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 the GT8 is killer! But they all sound better through a tube power amp. Once you get through the learning curve you'll find lots of good stuff. i personally dont like any modeled pedals but the amp models in the GT8 are the best. special fx, delay/ verb/chorus /compression etc. tweak up the way i like them. It will rock with much mojo:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macman01 Posted April 24, 2006 Members Share Posted April 24, 2006 DIgitech GNX3000: I am truly loving this pedal. I had a POD XT LIve and then a GT8 but the GNX3000 is awesome. Zero latency on recording and eay to get tube-like tone. The thing I love is even the factory preset's sound good. I spend more time playing than tweaking. With the GT8 I would spend hours tweaking and not actually get any practice done. Listen to these short soundclips I made with my GNX3000. Most of these are just using Stock Patches, recorded vis the USB output on GNX3000: http://www.digitech.com/soundco....id=2139 http://www.digitech.com/soundco....id=2132 http://www.digitech.com/soundco....id=2137 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dmantis Posted April 25, 2006 Members Share Posted April 25, 2006 The Vox Tonelab se in my opnion is one of the very best sounding Boards. I considered it many times now. I'm a chorus nut and find that it doesn't have the flexibility in chorus that I like. I know thats pretty picky considering everything it does but thats one of the biggest reasons I went seperate pedals over a full board. The GT8 is the one I want to spend more time with. Boss in my opnion effect for effect always seem to be a notch above the rest. I really dug into the ME-50 and found it lacking in the chorus area, it had 3 different chorus effects and I tried out the CE-20 and it killed it dead. The CE-20 was the best chorus pedal I have heard right next to it was the Boss CE-5. Another awesome chorus pedal. I was alittle shocked that I couldn't get the tone out of the ME-50 I wanted. The Harmonizer in there is incredible. I love that effect and the ME-50 does it very well. I wanna try the GT8 and go deeper with it, then try out the ME-50 once again.

Members ouch1234 Posted April 25, 2006 Members Share Posted April 25, 2006 the tonelab IS the ultimate tone machine in my opinion.I like ability to have a delay/mod effect with a seperate delay effect. while i agree the effects are not stellar and deep i find them very analog sounding compared to the gt-8 and very warm. The gt-8 is the deepest mfx of the bunch and i had one for 6 months but it is too deep for me and i still felt the amp sounds were sterile and cold in comparison to the tonelab se as well as the digitech gnx3k. I really wanted to like the gt-8 but was suprised to see the amp models are the same on it as on the vg88 v2...which i had and sold a long time ago. i hope roland warms up their tones and redoes their amp models soon..roland seems to drag out their same rehashed stuff way too long..keyboardwise too..

Members Soulgolem Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 Is it that Boss made a huge leap regarding fxs in their GT-8 because I had a GT-6 for 3 years and I always felt it was waaaay behind all the other processors in terms of fxs, after trying the tonelab SE, I thought ALL it's effects were better.

Members scott_335 Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 Yes, the Gt-6 sucks for any distortion, and i dont like the amp models. the eq sucks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soulgolem Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 True, but at that moment I was remembering the delay tone, chorus and phaser, which I could never find a use for. Francis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members W.Kyle.C Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 My opinion on the modelers are these V-amp 2-sucks don't waste you time and money.Owned it. Tonelab. Sounds the warmest and most tube like by far. It even feels a little tube-ish.played it. Boss gt-8. never played it but it definately has a very cool and handy option with the two amps dual processor thing. podxtlive. I think with the effects pack it has more effects than the boss and it can have more models with the packs. It sounds great and and i think it might have the most editing capability. I like the AIR. i like that the amp models are based off specific models so you know about what they are supposed to sound like(unlike the gt-8 i think). I love the usb cable. It make recording so simple, it makes computer editing software available, and new firmware downloads available(like the new version3).own it. GNX 3000. I didn't really lok too much into it. I think the digitech name turned me off, and i'm not sure if it has the usb which i really like since i will be in college this fall and it makes recoding easy. Kewlpack semed to be impressed with it though. But he also liked the V-amp.never played it just heard some clips and read some stuff. I bought the podxtlive because it is definately one of the best ones, and the usb and everything that comes with that pushed me over the edge i think. Also all the effects seemed fun, and i liked the the optional model packs incase i want more later. Oh....and with the new firmware you can download a model pack of bass amps and cabs and it came with some bass effects. So it is a guitar processor and bass processor.

Members macman01 Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 Here is the John Sykes patch in the GNX3000. I tweaked the delay on it a little to record this.The stock patches are real good.
