Acoustic multi-effects pedal

claywatson24 · #1 03-12-2019, 08:14 PM

I am having trouble deciding what multi effects to buy? I do a lot of live looping in my sets and want to get a quality effects pedal to slim down on the amount of pedals I have on my board. Looking for Bass, OD, Compressor, Delay, Reverb, EQ, DI (If possible). Any suggestions welcomed!

Thanks,

CW

T-Rex Soulmate is more or less the general idea of what i'm going for. I would like to have something with a few more effects, that wouldn't screw with the original sound.

Thanks again

I just went with the Line 6 HX Stomp. It's killer.

As soon as I transfer the IR's from the Tonedexter to the HX Stomp, I'll take the Tonedexter off the board and move the Boomerang III, to the bottom right and there will be a 2 button AUX switch between the Rang and the Stomp.

Not meaning to be snarky, but for me, acoustic guitars are a welcome reprieve from all the tone-shaping, knob-twiddling, button-pushing that goes into getting the right tone from an electric. I’ve plugged into a TC Helicon Harmony Singer and a Boss RC-20XL looper, and that’s really all I ever want to deal with.

I've been through a lot of pedals and now use the Zoom G3n Multi-effects Processor. Far more to it than meets the eye. You can have your effects and looper all in one and it does a great job.

This is what I would use.

Man, if you get a tone that you dig, it's a beautiful thing. No matter how you get it.

By bass, do you mean tone shaping of the bass? Because that's probably included in any fx board.

I also use Zoom but with expression pedal (newer version):

It covers all my needs for acoustic and electric guitar.

How useful is the expression pedal on that?

For example you can use it as volume pedal.

I've been really happy with the Line 6 HX Effects. If I had a do over, I'd probably get the HX Stomp instead since it has the Stereo Tube preamp clone that works super nice for acoustics. But the Line 6 ability to split a signal, offer every effect and eq you need AND custom IR loading like Tone Dexter makes it the winner for me. Bonus if you play electric - one rig for both

I have used my TC Helicon Play Acoustic for over a year, and it is awesome ! I use it mostly for the harmonies, but do the guitar-rez as well. Not a looping guy, but it does that as well.

I give it a big thumbs up !

Are you saying that actual tonedexter circuitry is built into this thing?

How much looping time does it give you?
