Members slapthefunkyfour Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm trying to decide between them. Who has used them and what do you think? I play country, rock, folk, goth rock, pretty much everything. I'm looking for some chorus, flange, phase, reverb, delay, and some synth effects. I would like to get all separate analog pedals, but the ease of use from something like this makes it worth it to me. So this: or this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RSBro Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 There's more than one TB megathread on a showdown between the two, so I'd check there also. IIRC, it boils down to if you like to model, get the Line6.If you like effects, get the Boss. YMMV, but that's what the general consensus was.

Members mrmatt64 Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 I love the GT-6B much better than the POD (that I used to own). Mr. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ender_rpm Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Amps models: POD> GT6B Effects: GT6B> POD i used to use the POD for guitar, but for bass, I currently own the GT6B FWIW: I don't care for either box's synth sounds. too much "mwow". I use the Big Muff model to make a square wave, and run the octave/harmonist before it. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slapthefunkyfour Posted September 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Well, just from that, I've decided on the Boss. I don't want to model, I already have the perfect amp setup for me. I just need effects. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need effects. Thanks. then go with the Boss ME-50B. All the kick ass effects, better interface (all knob based - no menus) and no modeling. cheaper too. http://www.bossus.com/index.asp?pg=1&tmp=133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hawkhuff Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 I own the GT 6B and I really like it. My only complaint, if it only had a drum machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. an FS-5U works just right. You can also hook up an FS-5L to turn the compressor on and off IIRC. It has all the effects of the GT-6B without the modeling crap (I'm not big on that, get a good amp) and none of the learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mike fitzwell Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 I've been eyeing mulit-fx units lately too. Anyone care to comment on the Korg AX3000-B vs. the Boss and Line6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think the Boss units have the best pure effects. Modulation, delay, compression, etc. Line6 has the best modeling of the bunch. none of them have good envelopes or synths IMO. Get a Deep Impact if you want a great bass synth. The korg doesn't really excel at anything. It's just solid at everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
