smurfitt Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hi, the only multi-fx I've ever used is the GT6b. I love it and am familiar with how to programme my own sounds, use the tuner & have a manual setting so I'm getting the sound/tone of just my amp. Whilst playing[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] I noticed the name in the LED display[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] began to automatically change from manual to speaker and back again. Although the sound did not change I guess its on its way out. The ME50b doesnt look like it doesnt allow for the programming of my own sounds that can be saved in user banks/patches and I need that. I'm not technical so need a unit that is simple to use & will allow me to write more than 5 effects into ONE user patch.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]If I bought a GT10b second hand am I likely to get the same problem as they must be around 7 yrs old now?[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cant believe Roland arent producing a GT100b.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Any ideas appreciated.[/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Maybe the me-50b? Less technical than most . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfitt Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 ME50 doesnt allow more than one effect from FX1 or FX2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Our guitarist uses the GT100, sounds pretty good and looks like it does 5+ effects and amp sims with 200 odd save slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Second hand Roland GP8. Effectively 8 Boss pedals (wah/auto-wah, compressor, overdrive, distortion, phaser, EQ, delay, chorus/flanger) in a programmable 1U rackmount unit. All the effects except the delay and chorus/flanger are analogue. You do need the FC100 MkII foot controller and an expression pedal to get the best out of it, but it does allow all the effects on simultaneously if you have a sound that requires it. Also has an external loop between the EQ and delay sections to allow more routing options. Even has rudimentary MIDI. Built like a tank. Getting on for 30 years old and still going strong. I'm on my second one only because I sold my original GP8 to a guitarist I was in a band with and when the band split up realised that I needed to get another one. Not to be confused with the seemingly more versatile GP16 which sounds rubbish. Edited February 13, 2016 by BigRedX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The Boss Katana amps are basically a very good solid state amp with built in Roland and Boss effects. For example the delay is based on the Roland SDE3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Chris Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I am a massive fan of the GT-1000. I find it goes great guns for guitar, and it pretty cool for bass too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
