Talbo Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 You may notice that I have got a GT6B thread open atm. In short, I cant get on with it! Any sounds I have made, I havent been completely happy with and most importantly I cant seem to fulfil my number 1 requirement which is to program each pedal to contain multiple effect so I can switch direcct and avoid switching pedals on and off again before reselecting. As as example 1. Chorus and delay. 2. Distortion 3. Clean 4. Octave distorion...... I am open to suggestions on the best way to achieve this. I would rather avoid tap dance on single multi pedals. Unless there is a COMPROMISE! Importantly good enough sound for live performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 pedalboards usually come with an average to poor dirt sound. Buy a dedicated dirt & octave & use the board for the other fx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] i would second this. dists/dirt separately. use the multi fx for comp/amp sims etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbo Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 The key thing would be a programmeable board of assigned effects pedals, rather than turning multiple pedals on and off in sequences... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 You can get patch pedals that allow you to turn on/off multiple pedals at once. Something like this... http://www.thomann.de/gb/carl_martin_octaswitch_mkii.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grissle Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) For effects only maybe a Line6 M5 or M9 http://line6.com/m5/ For effects & amp models maybe a Zoom ms-60b http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/ms-60b/ If you want even more amp modeling as well, an older Line6 BassPod really can't be beat IMO Edited July 29, 2013 by Grissle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FretNoMore Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) The GT6B has switches for patch up or down, can't you use those to scroll between your programmed sounds? If you have four patches there us not much tap dancing. Edited July 30, 2013 by FretNoMore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefrash Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 you can do that in the zoom b9.1ut. the 4 pedals across the front can be separate patches if u want... so within each patch you can have the desired effects chain. have to admit i don't use it like that but its possible. the fuzz is decent enough but the dirt sounds are a bit guff. there us however a switchable effects loop so if u want a separate dirt pedal in your sound you just leave that always on and let the zoom switch it on and off. again iv never done this but debt see why it wouldn't work perfectly well.
