New Vs Used

[zenbassuk]

Hiya Everyone, so I am thinkin about my Christmas Box this year and I have hit upon a problem.

I used to own a Boss GT6-B which was a fanastic piece of kit and one of those things you always regret selling..

I am really wanting to have one back in my life but looking at eBay and various other sites they are still going for a pretty penny....

I have also seen this

It seems to have good reviews and I am going to try and see if I can find one locally to go and play with.

Does anyone have experience of ths RP500 and how it compares to the GT6-B..

Even though the Boss is now over a decade old it still hold up strong and my budget cannot strech to the new ME- 50B

So its do I go shiney and new or go a rough and ready ??

Any thoughts would be great

Thank You

Ben

I'd say go with what you know. The Digitech may be good but you know that you achieved a good sound with the Boss.

The Digitech may surprise you of course, and the Boss might not be as good as you recall, but it will also have a better residual price than the Digitech.

If you want to save a few quid then go used.

If you want or feel a bit flush then go new.

I have the ME 50B, it sits in the cupboard while my analogue pedals get played.

those digital COSM tones are just aweful.

Buy a comp, a chorus, a fuzz and anything else you like. You don't need the majority of stuff on multi fx units.
