Re: good processor for weird sounds, etc.?



how much do you want to pay?  key question.

i assume you want a single rackable multi-processor, as opposed
to discrete specialized devices.  the following ideas are almost
all fairly expensive (apx. $1K and up), with the exception of
the M-ONE which i got for dang cheap recently.

new/in production stuff:  eventide's stuff (ultraharmonizer, et
al) gets weird fast, i'd LOVE to have one.  so does the t.c.
electronics fireworkx.  just about any t.c. stuff from the m-one
(which is/was being blown out at guitar center incidentally, i
picked one up for $300, woohoo!) on up is at least decently
capable of what you describe, and has extensive midi support and
good quality.

the venerable loopy lexicon pcm series are classics for delays
and reverbs, creative boxes (some out of production boxes, like
the pcm-42, are awesome but support can be ... time consuming).

there's lots others too, but these are my first ideas for
quality general digital gizmoes and i really should be working,
not reading this list ... ;-)

Re: guitar synth opinions/experience/etc.i'm currently in the
market for a nice processor.  i'm interested mainly in odd
sounds, spacey stuff, some reverbs, some delays...all things
"not-guitar", you know, the stuff that makes people look around
on stage for the source of such wild noise.

what i DON'T need are oodles of distortions, guitar simulators,
cab sims, etc.

thanks in advance for the advice.
