Hi!
I am trying to find a rack multi-effect (or two if need be). I have an old SGX 2000 (up'd to Express) that I liked the sound of the phaser, flanger, and some of the odd effects, and then the delay and chorus were decent enough. Unit is a bit cloudy and colored, but did me well. It has been dying for awhile, so I began searching for a new one. (Oh- btw- I have a TriAxis, so preamp in the effects unit is NOT a consideration.. it can have one, or not, I do not care..lol..)
I had a Digitech 2120/2112, and just sold it. Not my cup of tea. I just bought a TC Electronic G-Major, and while the chorus, verb and delay sound nice, they are limited in scope; add to that the crappy (IMO) phaser, and a flanger that is.. ugh.. (not even touching the compressor.. and noise gate/EQ are not needed for me). So, the box is not my cup of tea either. The G-Force would be nice for the advanced routing I really want, plus the flexability with the chorus, delay and verbs; but, with the rest being worthless for me, I just cannot see spending $1.5k on it.
So, I am trying to find something again. Oh- huge problem: I am a paraplegic, and testing out gear is.. well, very, very difficult. I grabbed the G-Major from a Guitar Center, and can take it back to exchange for something else (14 days I think?). I was contemplating grabbing a TC D-Two for delay/chorus (special olympics version of a 2290?), and filling in around it. Maybe...
Pedals are out (too much of a PITA for me now). Well, I will likely end up re-buying MXR Phase 90 and Small Stone pedals... But, would really like to have chorus, delay, and verb (at least) in a single rack unit, and be able to enter exact values, plus set mix/blend of dry/wet. Arranging effects order would be a nice bonus...
Trying to stay under $1k new.. suggestions? (I am trying to make a list, and then find someone to help bring one of my guitars so I can hopefully have a good day and try a few pieces out before buying this time...)
thx!
