Dr.Dave Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I feel like an intruder on this forum - FX and me never having had that much time for each other. I use a bit of slow chorus from time to time , and recently a touch of overdrive/distortion for the ZZ trib band. I've always been a fan of the octave pedal when playing fretless up the dusty end too. I'm also pig idle. How many gigs I must have done with the pedals still in the gig box. I'm always scared of batterys going , wary of those thin, piddly adaptor cables and I can't bare the lead in front of me anyway - tripped once too often. Anyway - my new trib band rack is almost complete and it has a half rack space left. Looking around I see a few Boss half rack units , ranging from the older SE50 to the newer VF1. I've no interest in tap dancing with midi pedals etc , just want a few basic presets that I've ...er...preset(!) that I can't NOT use because they're already powered up in the rack. So - anyone use or used these units , comments please - anyone got a half rack alternative for a tight arsed dinosaur? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 For a ton or thereabouts on eBay, the VF1 is a great piece of kit IMO, especially when you consider they were £400 new. You can also use a standard one or two button footswitch if you don't want to go the MIDI route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
