hey,
i always need more effects :) just kidding....
i was just wondering if there are any interesting hardware multieffects
units on the market besides the fireworx and eclipse. lately i am much more
interested in boutique analog pedals like zvex ringtone, fuzz factory etc. i
think i will try those soon.
as for micropog. i have recently bought in NY. i use it for pitch shifting
the delay lines. for that effect, it is very good. but for chords it is pretty
useless unfortunately. it has a very organ like sound which some of you may love
or hate.
thanks a lot and best regards.

Subject: OT: late reply to: MULTI-EFFECTS
& REVERB
late reply-
multi-effects-i will have to agree w/ someone
who said: you have an eventide eclipse and lexicon mpx100 and tc
fireworks--AND YOU NEED MORE EFFECTS?
i thought the eventides where the
king of good weird effects? way out of my price range! my setup currently:
(guitar or keyboard-)zoom g2-digitech rp150-digitech synthwah-boss
dd20-(kustom 12 watt tube amp or direct to fostex mr8)...
my cheapo set
up allows me to get normal sounds or anything pretty wacky if i need it. the
zoom g2 has some interesting options w/ the ring mod, and then it splits the
wahs/ring/phaser/tremolo before amp, and then gives you some other modulations
options (chorus-pitch, etc) after, and there are possibility of having 3
different delays going (good if you are only using one effect devise)...so i
think its a good sonic mangler, but i'm not sure if i'd say it would beat an
eventide unit, i mean it does only cost 100$!
as for REVERBS: i have
minimal experience w/ a lot of gear, i did like the reverbs on my digitech
dsp256xl-it had a real 80's quality to it, but i liked that. had a lot of
spacey sounds. i also liked my lexicon mpx100-thought the reverbs were good
& all-UNTIL THE THING DIED ON ME!!!!. didn't like that. from what i've
read, it appears that the folks who are masters of spacey reverb stuff (Torn,
Fripp, et al) all seem to use either the highend Lexicon units or Eventide
units.
the funny thing about this thread is i have been thinking about
my reverb options-i like my multi-effect pedal options, but haven't been
loving the reverb sounds in the units and have debated getting another rack
unit for reverbs. just don't like the space they take up. and i've also been
missing the option of reversing samples that my old dod d12 did so easy w/ the
6 sec samples. always searching i guess....
