Dood Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 TC Electronic do great effects racks. Amongst the best for the semi-pro and pro musician. I recommend the TC Electronic G Major 2 and it's big brother the G Force. You will need a separate MIDI foot controller to change patches / effects etc. I love these because they don't have any distortions or amp sims on. You can rely on your amp's natural tone and use the G Major 2 to switch channels on your amp for you. I've owned both and now have downsized. I am using a TC Electronic Nova System. Failing that, the ole Lexicon MPX G2 is a good find on eBay. It looks like everything else somehow has to have a million amp sims and rubbish distortions on them! I've not yet found one I *really* like, though the Line6 X3 and Boss GT10B units that I had were not bad when you spent a lot of time with them.

RandomProddy Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I've got a Boss SE-50. I tend to use it for reverb/delay stuff. Does the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Actually are there any good rack distortions? I might start a rack instead of a pedalboard when I get looking properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might start a rack instead of a pedalboard when I get looking properly [/quote] For Bass? Very limited! SWR's Interstellar Overdrive and Ampeg's SVP-BSP come to mind and maybe the odd 'one off' where pedals have been installed in to a rack, but not much else? Rat had a Juggernaut rack I think too? Maybe I'm imagining that though. The other option is to buy a guitar rack preamp or the usual line 6 / Boss type modelling kit instead. - But then we're back to amp sims which may or may not be desirable.
