Bass ME pedal for bass and guitar?

[Saige]

I've seen the posts and what not for the M13... just stating this early on

I'm wondering if a Bass multieffect pedal could be used with a guitar. I've read that the "bass versions" are tweaked to work with the lower frequencies of a bass guitar because the guitar multieffects don't sound too good on with a bass guitar. Does this usually mean that the "bass versions" me pedals won't sound as good with a guitar?

I'd like the have a me pedal I can use with a bass and a guitar and I was thinking about the Boss GT-10B. I've looked at the manuals for the GT-10 and the GT-10B and they seem to be fairly close as far as form and function. I'd prefer the GT-10 over other products because it appears to be the most bang for the buck.

Has anyone extensively used their bass ME pedals with a guitar or vice versa? Thanks in advance for your help!

I know that a few effect makers (Digitech, Line 6, etc.) have been making multi-effects with patches for bass and guitar in the same unit. I'd probably point you towards one of those pieces.

Yep new Line 6 (X3) is for bass and guitar.

With the exception of bass amp and bass cab simulations, you could really use any guitar effect system for bass purposes. Even with the Line 6 Pod XT, you could purchase separately bass amp/cab simulations, they are not included by default.

I'm using a Zoom G2 quite a lot when doing jams, have built-in fast tuner as well as compression that I like to use with any odd bass amp/cab combination preset at various jams. --Kent
