Best multi for under 100.00

[willsellout]

I'm mainly looking to make fun spacey sounds. So delay, reverb, chorus, and phase should be great. A headphone out and an aux in would be nice, and a drum machine would be cool but it's the least of my concerns.



Thanks!

digitech BP-50 or BP-80.

They're cheap and they really do quite a bit of stuff. Modeling, drums, tuner, a bunch of effects, ect.

I've got the BP-50 and I do use it quite a bit.
If I remember right, I got it brand new for $50.
It was worth it!

I'd take a look at the Zoom series for low-budget effects. I had the B1 before I gave it to my son and liked it, especially for only setting me back $49! As usual, some of the effects are nonsense (ring mod, for example), but overall I thought the modulations were fine. I even liked a couple of the amp models. With an expression pedal-version available for $69, you can't go wrong.

Thanks. This is one I've been looking at pretty closely.

I thought there was a BP-50 in the classified for 40 shipped. May still be there.

The korg ax3b or ax5b would be a good choice for a multi-effects processor for under 100 dollars. they both have a large variety of effects, amp and cab models, and they got good sound quality.

[willsellout]

Between the korg and the Digitech, which one has the better mod sounds? I'm not concerned with modeling at all.

[Crystalman85]

If by mod sounds, you mean modulation effects, I would say korg has better sounding modulation effects. the korg ax3b and ax5b has the most lushes sounding chorus effects that you'll ever hear out of a multi-effects processor.

Yes, sorry modulation as well as delay, reverb etc...to make ambient type stuff.

Zoom B2 $80. - Very tweakable, saves dozens of your presets, quiet, built tough, and looks good....and so far, after a year,...no problems. Headphone out, dozens of drum beats, and tuner.

"So delay, reverb, chorus, and phase should be great" - They are good to very good,....you won't find anything 'great' for under $300.

Korg processors also has great sounding reverbs and delays. you'll be creating ambient sounds in no time with the korg processor.

What about the interface of each of the units? IS there one easier to use or more intuitive than the other?

The Digi BP-50 has excellent delay, with MANY settings. There is some pitch modulation that surprised me with it's tonal quality and tracking. The filters are decent. You can get pretty kooky with this thing with all the atmospheric tones. I used it to back some performance art, so that counts for something? Needless to say, I almost never used it live! Being that I'm now going analog, I'm selling it. Nice pedal though.

Zoom B2, you could maybe even get a used one for $50. Effects (even stereo ones), amp simulations, built-in drum machine for practice, tuner. I've used mine (used one) for 100+ gigs -- no problems whatsoever.

Really?

Even though the zoom processor has easy controls, korg processors has a different, but more simpler controls.

[john_martin_sai]

Zoom is confusing at first but diligence will pay off once the system becomes more familiar and the possibilities realized. For example it has 2 character symbols representing the effects. The guide book needs to be used to identify them at first but it's a well writen one.

Not sure about the others but in the MOD/SFX category...you have CHORUS knob 1 = depth 0-100 - knob 2 = rate 0-50 - knob 3 = mix 0-100....has stereo chorus, flanger, pitch, vibrato, step, delay, tape echo, pitch shifter, and harmonized pitch shifter in this category. Then you have high and low eq, compressor, limiter, noise reduction, synth, resonance filter, distortion, echo, wah, amp models, reverb, etc...operating in the 3 knob numerical selector mode..

Thanks for all the responses. The local shop has the korg and Zoom in stock and I'll have to check them out in person.
