    Chorus pedal with stereo input as well as output: does it exist?

    Don't own it but Boss MD-200 should have stereo in (and provides also flanger, phaser, tremolo, vibrato...) Fmb

    All High Gain sounds the same?

    When I use my Hartke HD500 I can barely notice any difference among the distortion pedals I use. This is the reason why I bought and sent back: - Darkglass Alpha Omega - EHX Russian Green Muff - EHX Hot Wax - Keeley Filaments - TC Electronic Fangs as well as some multi Fx (Boss GT-1000core...

    BOSS ME 90B

    Maybe a Boss GX-100 or the smaller GX-10 could fit your needs better: same Boss effects of the ME-90B with free to edit chain. You would give up the battery operation and the DI.

    BOSS GX-100

    Thank you, I'll try to learn it properly then. I am disapponted because in the short amount of time I had the Boss GT-1000core I was liking the drives, distortions and fuzz and not the modulations. Moreover I wasn't having any overload in the input. On the other hand on the GX-100 I am liking...

    BOSS GX-100

    Hi all. I've been using this multi fx since friday 13th. I am liking the display, versatility and ease of use but I am not liking the drive, distortion and fuzz effects for now. The last two in particular seem to me to be the same stuff. Moreover my passive bass (a Sire PJ) seems to overload...

    Practice headphone recommendations?

    I'd buy a Zoom B1four as a cheap multi fx with amp and cab sims (it has got aux in and headphone out) and use a pair of headohone he already has. Then I will let him understand with time what he needs, both for home practice and band reharsal. Fmb

    Boss GT 1000Core

    Few lines to report my experience. I've got the chance to use a GT1000core for 3-4 weeks and the sounds I obtained (simply modifying the presets) were good and the bandmates were liking it. I ended up returning it because I wanted to use it without any other pedal, but a) the flanger, chours...

    analog programmable OD/Distortion pedal?

    If you find one and like its form factor, you could try a Tech 21 Sansamp PSA 2.0. Fmb

    BOSS ME 90B

    I bought and sent back the Boss ME-90B because I had a similar experience and I wasn't pleased by the drives and distortions. I was sure it was my fault, but I've recently bought a Boss GT-1000Core and its amps, as well as drives and distortions, are sounding good using both headphones and my...

    Tech 21 PSA 2.0: Who Has It, What Do You Think?

    Thank you for the interest! The signal goes: bass --> octave --> PSA --> envelope filter --> flanger/chorus --> overdrive --> amp (Hartke HD500) The image below shows the setup on the pedalboard. In the past weeks I've also tried to use it alone with and without the speaker sim (trying to use...

    Tech 21 PSA 2.0: Who Has It, What Do You Think?

    Hi all, I am trying to obtain: 1) low gain overdrive 2) rat like distortion 3) fuzz sound with the PSA 2.0. I modified some of the presets for this (those in the 30-48 range), but it seems I can't obtain a reasonable fuzz sound and the other two are underwhelming and disapper in the mix. Can...

    Ortega KT-Walker-v2 strings

    Thank you for the follow up, choice will be easier now. First I'll see how the stock strings behave, then I'll look for the strings modwls availability and price in my country and try round and flat (in this order). I wonder if there are sets to avoid because of the higher tension (I don't want...
