It has EQ (including 1 factory preset that is so sweet and still tweakble) and a separate Distortion channel that sound good. I think it's about US$140. Or if you want to get more, maybe a multi effects is much suited for you as they provide many effect options. I heard the zoom 708 II is pretty good, but I've never tried it myself. The boss GT-6B and ME-50B might also worth to check out.

But really it comes down to your actual cash budget, because you could still spend $1000 on a single pedal!

With a multi, you will have a tuner, possibly some drum loops and a heap of effects to play around with. You should be able to pick up a used one relatively cheap.

| | | | I would probably get the TC Electronic G System.
I just realized that you don't have much cash. Then I would probably go with the Zoom.

Thanks!

Thanks! | Yeah, Mudd.
Bass Micro Synth
Not the best octaver, not the best fuzz, not the best envelope, not the best slow gear...but if I could only have one...
Really nice analog synth!

Just the USB? Expression pedal capability? Wider array of beats?
I'm very interested in this. I've heard great things about the Zoom pedals for guitar...I prefer analog stuff, but for now, I think this would be a lot of fun and the price is excellent. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: The Berkshires, Ma | | | The B2.1u has USB, an XLR and an expression pedal. It's well worth the extra $50 or so. I have the B2. It's very flexible as a preamp, eq, etc. You can get some decent OD and other effects out of it too. I use single effects as well but I don't really want to spend hundreds on a hand full of effects that I use once in a while. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
