Re: Cheap FX for Teaching

["Tony K" <bigtony@softhome.net>]

I have a DOD Tec 4 that is 1/2 decent.  The distortions are crappy, but 
the 
rest of the fx are ok.  I use it for my synths these days.  You can get 
them 
on ebay for like $20 used.  No looping or drum machine though.  Most of 
the 
fx have limited settings but it's certainly usable.

Also, the Digitech RP50 is pretty reasonable.  I've seen them on ebay for 
about $60 (buy it now).  Again, no looping, but lots of fx and a drum 
machine with 30 patterns.

I'd go with the Digitech myself.  $60 isn't bad for an fx unit.

Subject: Cheap FX for Teaching


HI-

i was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest a nice multi FX to
use when teaching guitar/bass. i run an instruction studio here in
detroit that does about 200 lessons per week (mostly guitar).

i have 3 rooms for guitar so i would need something cheap to get one
for each room. it doesn't have to have spectacular quality FX but it
would be great to have something with wide range of choices to expose
students to a lot of sounds. of course it would be GREAT to have a
modest looper included with some overdub capabilities. some type of
drum machine would be cool too.

any help?
