Members Jaymz888 Posted October 10, 2005 Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 i'm looking for a multi effect pedal. i have a esp ltd ec 400 at and a peavey bandit II. i play in a metal band. i want a crunchy distortion sound which i pretty much get out of my bandit. but i just want to bring some different sounds in my sound. especially in my clean sound. some delay or something like that. i was searching ebay for some good auctions. and i found a Boss ME 5, Boss GT 3 to 8 and a Bos ME 50. i don't wanna spend that much money on a pedal. otherwise i could buy a Randall RH 100 G2. any suggestions?

Members dot-dot-dot Posted October 10, 2005 Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 Nope. With all the effects off it still has a master volume. But a little loop switching pedal wouldn't cost much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pinkjimiphoton Posted October 10, 2005 Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 yah, Dot is right.... ya can dl the manual if ya want at my website. it will buffer the signal unless you use a loop box like dot suggested...which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your style. the me5 has the most organic sound of the three...and way less baubles and beads. but better basic tone... and each of it's 64 patches can be set up as an individual 5 effects on/off pedalboard, can remember wheter the loop is off or on in a patch, too. the delay is only 500ms, tho, so i'd reccomend getting a decent delay stompbox and putting it in the loop, then u can use the built in reverb. nice box, the original floor multi, and arguably the best sounding yet for what it does. make sure if ya buy it on ebay ya get a return clause, just in case...they are notorious for the input/output jacks needing to be re-soldered.....i've fixed all of mine for that at some point. also, if the memory acts werid, or all the patches seem to be weird with some of the stuff cranked, it probably needs a battery change....not too big a deal to do if ya can solder.

Members Wouter Posted October 10, 2005 Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 I've had great results with the GT3 at one time ( albeit a very short one because I got lucky on the money front). Ans I hear that the guys from Opeth use them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
