Members Hotrod Lincoln Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 Seems like the Vox Tonelab holds up pretty good to everyday use waht are some other rock solid multi -effects? I'm looking at mainly metal cased effects, not cheap plastic junk that my 2 80lb dogs can stomp to pieces lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashasha Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 I don't know about anything new, but I've had my Roland VG-8 since '94 or '95 and its as good as new. It's heavy as {censored} and built like a tank. Now I don't gig all over the place with it, but it's moved all over the world with me and I've never had 2 seconds of an issue with it.

Members bsman Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 I've got a Boss ME-50 that's not too shabby and seems to be relatively bullet-proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dougie.Douglas Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 I've got a Boss ME-50 that's not too shabby and seems to be relatively bullet-proof. They are amazing pedals. My friends one suffered abuse from the hands of 'bad roadies' whilst his band was on tour and still survived amazingly well. Nothing broken or cracked, still works good as new.

Members StompBoxLover Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 Seems like the Vox Tonelab holds up pretty good to everyday use\n waht are some other rock solid multi -effects? I'm looking at mainly metal cased effects, not cheap plastic junk that my 2 80lb dogs can stomp to pieces lol Tonelab + VC-12 is a killer combo. I gigged with this combination for over a year and a half, never let me down. The build quality of the knobs and buttons is in a different league then Boss, DigiTech, Zoom or Line6 - very sturdy. I love the feel of the Wah and the volume pedal on the footcontroller, they just feel like the real thing - everything else pales in comparison. I switched to AD120VTH + VC-12 and gigged with that for over a year, wonderful! The footcontroller has seen a lot of stages and abuse, but it still works just perfectly.

Members DRPool Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 Another ME-50 user here. Things a tank, all metal, doesn't kill batteries and sounds good. Is there anything else you need in a multi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pixelchemist Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 my gt10 seems like it would be damn hard to break... and anything TC is built like a tank... line 6 stuff is far more fragile feeling vox stuff seems solid but i have had electrical component failures in everything vox that i have ever owned mechanically and structurally they are sound though no idea about the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ashtray Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 I left my gt-6 in the garage for a year+. Got coated in a nice thick layer of dirt/dust. Plugged it up and no issues. It's z tank for sure- never used a bag or anything to store it or when traveling. That said, the od sounds mediocre at best - so sometimes the most reliable piece of gear isn't always the one you should get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AxAxSxS Posted March 23, 2010 Members Share Posted March 23, 2010 My Boss GT-10 has seen its share of abuse. Still works great. Im hard on my gear, i broke a couple of digitech rp 350's before I sucked it up and got something nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Assumer Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 GT-10 feels typical boss tough. Should hold up as well as the previous versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian May Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 I think any of the metal housed multi's will stand up to all you could reasonably throw at them. I have a GT-10 and a GNX3000, that have never let me down....but for me the undisputed champion of indestructableness is the most expensive one - the TC G System. Want proof? Watch this vid and you will have no doubts about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members C-4 Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 I like and use the TC Nova System. I've had the Boss ME series stuff but don't prefer the tones from it to the TC stuff.Also, isn't the Line6 M-13 and M-9 built with a metal frame?

Members BoneNut Posted March 24, 2010 Members Share Posted March 24, 2010 I have a GT8 and the thing is built like a truck. If you bang it up against the wall in frustration while trying for the 1000th time to program and get the sounds you want from it... nothing will happen to it, although the wall will be seriously damaged. Don't ask me how I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
