I currently have a DigiTech BP200, which is ok but I don't care for it much. I am thinking about in the next month or two to pick up a better multi-effects unit. I have been lookign at the Line 6 PODxt Live and Boss GT-6B. Both seem like good units, but I am leaning toward the Boss more. I want to keep it under $400 USD. Which of these two pedals is the better one? I will try them out soon but I want to get a say from you people. Any other effects units I should look at? I play all styles of music. I won't be using this a whole lot because I like my tone clean but I like to experiment with effects in a few of my/bands songs. I play a Ibanez SR 905 through a Yorkville XM200 if thsi matters.

Best multi-effects unit under $400 USD?

what about the me-50b?
Smaller than the GT-6B, doesn't have the modelling but IMO the fx are better

Don't forget to consider the number of effects that the prospective unit allows to be used simultaneously. I think the ME50B falls a tad short in this area.
That was one of the reasons I didn't like the Bass POD -- the auto wah effect was in the same group as OD/distortion/fuzz. I could not get a fuzz stomp effect and an auto wah stomp effect at the same time. Of course, that could have been user error, but I sure did try. Plus it was difficult for me to get a good sounding auto wah, period. On the positive side, the POD did many things well. So did the ME-50B -- I've used both.syciprider said:
