Who is actually using a multi-FX live, and is happy with it?

[JJP_1984_LB50]

Who's using one?
Are you happy with your tone?
Which one is it?
How are you routing it?

I REALLY want to go this route but haven't found anything I love. Who's doing what? (Feel free to direct me to the thread I'm missing).

Yep, most if the time.
Boss GT-1B
Instrument>GT-1B>Ampeg BA 210V2 or GK 400RB>810 Cab >XLR to FOH as required.

 

[JKos]

HX Stomp.
Bass -> LBA 2020S -> HX Stomp -> FOH

 

[bassbrad]

I'm still using my Zoom B2 or B2.1u or B3 depending on the gig.

 

[Ethereal Thorn]

I use a line 6 Helix hx fx and love it

 

[cheapbasslovin]

GT-1B. Line6 wireless> GT1B> Radial SB2> Peavey Alphabass or Quilter BB800.

I use a dual switch to page up and down my patches and then the 4 footswitches to control the patch. I use the preamps as always on, and then switch on and off what I need within each patch.

My classic rock gig doesn't require me to find a bunch of 'my' sounds, and this unit is flexible enough at my feet and with good enough sounds that I don't need parallel processing or nigh-infinite blocks.

I was using a B3 prior, but the GT-1B works quite a bit better after taking the time to sort out all its control options.

A big part of my liking multis is I see tone as a moving target (it's easy to fall in love with a sound and then get jaded by it and move on to the next, get jaded again and then re-fall in love with the first), so having a thing that can adapt to my needs and whims is more important than having that one perfect thing that I'll get bored of over time.

Bass>Line6 G30>Line6 HX Stomp>Ashdown OriginAL. I use IEM 99% of the time.

The HX Stomp has replaced my tuner, HPF, overdrive, fuzz, octaver and chorus. Plus, now I have some reverb or delay and many other effects. It needs time, but once you have your presets done, you know exactly how you will sound.

The Boss MS-3 replaced quite a few pedals. Now it’s a essential part of my pedalboard. I’m very happy with it.

 

[Brad Johnson]

Boss GT-10B. Bass into efx, out to amp.

 

[Ryan L.]

My current chain is Shure GLXD>Empress Bass Compressor>Line 6 HX Effects>Line 6 HX Stomp to FOH/IEMS.

 

[Skybone]

Line6 HD500x (with HD Bass pack) into Effects Return. Sounds good to me, and no complaints from the band.

 

[LowActionHero]

I still use a Zoom B3, with a couple other pedals, but I could (and have) play a show with just the B3.

 

[Turxile]

Zoom B3n, happy with it. If it’s a gig with simple always on requirements I take zoom ms60b.

 

[murmur70]

Helix is the most natural(analog?) sounding effects unit I have ever heard. I am running the HX Stomp alone to FOH.

 

[Krisfield]

P Bass > GT1KCore > Q/Strip - XLR > Mixer/FOH, 1/4 > Amp/InEars. Totally happy with this setup, won’t be changing it anytime soon.

 

[Gustopher]

Line 6 M5 (not technically a multi, but kinda) and I use it for a little dirt and fuzz. It also has a great chorus. Since most of what I play isn't effect heavy, it works great for my needs.

 

[kho]

Fractal Audio FM3. Line 6 wireless > FM3 > Amp/FOH. Works great for bass and guitar.

 

[RattleSnack]

Bass to Boss GT-1B to my GK combo, for small fusion instrumentals gig.
I use GT-1B as a pedalboard (no amp/cab sims), I have couple of patches I can flip. One is general, for clean sound or chorus and so on. Second and third are synths with different flavours.

 

[baxter_x]

Axe FX II XL in the power section of an Ampeg SVT 7 Pro. Very happy with it, however I might go back to a single amp as it could be a bit overkill for me. However, you have everything in a box: compressor, drive, filter.....
No more cables, noise, issues, surprises.....

 

[Goatrope]

Source Audio C4, set up with various staple sounds, like phaser, octaver, univibe, synths, swells, envelop followers, etc. Once the output levels are dialed-in, it’s a superstar.

I’m running it first on my board, with the comp after it, in order to better control the attack. I’m accessing all my presets via a midi switch (D.M.C. micro).
