im looking for a multi effect board

[ao'connor17]

im thinking the korg toneworks system like les claypool has. does it alter the tone of your bass on bypass like the digitechs do?

boss gt6b
doesnt suck any tone that i noticed in 3 years of having it.
can do a buttload of stuff.
really cool.

Boss ME-50B is also a great one. The Zoom B2 is another one people really like. The Korg Toneworks AX3000B (is that the right one?) is another one. And like Coolrunner said, the GT6B is another good option. If you search these ones, and check the reviews on Harmony-Central, you will have loads, nay, BUTTLOADS of information to sift through so you can make a very informed decision...it's how I made mine

As for bypasses, I don't think I've ever seen a multieffects board that is true-bypass. I had a couple issues with my ME-50B, but that was mostly do to high-output pickups on my bass. And in any case, the ME-50B has a master EQ section that makes up for any tone loss.

The 3 contenders for best multi on here are:

Line 6 Bass PODxt (great amp modelling, sucky tracking on synths)
Boss GT-6B (great FX modelling and FX order ability, average amp moddeling)
Korg AX3000B (great synth tracking)

Personally I've got the POD, but the "reviews" of the other 2 are from what I've read/heard in sound clips from here.

ME-8B

Cheap and tasty!
