multi effect rack quest

[fo0dude]

i'm searching for a multi effect rack unit that's in the price range for 100 - 300, anyone have any good thoughts?
(other wise i'm gonna by a zoom b3, but i preffer a rack)

That's a tall order there. What will you be using it for? What kind of music? The only half decent one I can think of is maybe a pod pro or xt pro used. I have a b3 ATM and think it sounds better, but it depends what you're using it for.

behringer bass v-amp pro. It's pretty good and reliable. there's a megathread somwehere on the Amps forum. check it

Check out the TC Electronics M-One XL. I think it sounds really good and it isn't very expensive, relative to other gizmos in it's class.

I recently got a Boss VF-1 (24bit multi-FX in a half rack size) for around $200 with which I'm pretty happy.

I second the VF-1. The TC M-One is a nice unit, but doesn't really have much in the way of effects beyond delay and reverb.

Oh that's easy then! Seriously--you absolutely do not need any multi-fx unit. You need a big amp and maybe one or two distortions to choose between.

Yes, discontinued...but available used.

Decent units. Better (analog) distortions/OD's on the Boss SE-70, though. Though the switching isn't as smooth as the VF-1.
