Have you tried the MK2? 

 

I had the v1, but the v2 is a bit too expensive at the moment.

I've had the HX Stomp, Effects, B6, MS-60B, MS70CDR, Boss ME-50b and some of the older Zoom pedals.

 

I've sold them all but the only one I bought again was the HX Effect which, on reflection, I think works for me best. It doesn't have amps and cabs which I don't need, has easy access to the core effects (as you list) and you can program parallel paths and tweak ad-infinitum if you want. The key for me was realising that it was not hard to set up if you give it 30-60 minutes and a YouTube tutorial. I love it now and have everythign I need as I think the quality of the sounds are fabulous.

Thanks that I did see that you’d cycled through these in quick succession so thanks for your advice (along with others on this forum).

 

so it’s between the HX Effects, Plethora and GX100.

 

I going to have a good think. And maybe find a shop that has them all (this may take a few weeks)!

Hi All, 

 

Im in the market for a Bass Multieffects unit I can take to practice and gigs but I’m a bit of a novice/lazy/confused on programming.

 

Historically I bought a Helix and never got to grips with it (however in my defence I was in the middle of a Masters at the time).

 

My needs are quite simple, compressor, chorus, flanger, octave and maybe a bit harmoniser/synth (that tracks).

 

What I absolutely don’t want is something that I cannot standardise volume on easily. 
 

Im somewhere near the Zoom B6 or the TC Electronic Plethora.

 

Any advice or experience would be appreciated.  

 

The Digitech BP355 does all that (plus more). They can often be had for under £100 now.

Don't know if it's still relevant but I noticed a Boss GT10-B for sale on here last week at a steal of a price. It's a great unit if you get the software that some bloke in the US made to manage it. While it's a big b*gger by today's standards the sounds are excellent and plentiful. I have no affiliation to the seller, I just think they sound great.
