Affordable rack mounted multi-fx

[dirtystatic]

Hi all,

I'm after a multi-fx for my setup that can handle chorus, flange, delay and reverb. I don't want to break the bank so I'm only after cheaper units, though I don't mind buying second hand. Ideally I want to spend less than £200, do let us know if this is completely unrealistic.

I've got a T-Rex Bass Juice, Bass Big Muff, Punch Factory and Korg tuner, so I'm sorted for fuzz/dist/comp/tuner.. plus I have particular wahs and envelopes I'm interested in so I won't be relying on it for those.

I'd also like to be able to control it with an external board.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

I'd look out for a Boss VF-1 on eBay- typically around £100-£120, midi or footswitch operated, and should be able to cover all your modulation needs ably. When I have some cash I'm going to get a second one!

Behringer V-Amp pro.It might suit you,it doesnt suit me.

the tc electronics g-major looks great and may be worth goin over budget for.

i love the sounds i'm getting from my t-rex, punch factory and bass muff.. and past experience with multi-fx has taught me their distortions and fuzzes are generally pretty sh*te - so ideally i'd like to keep my existing pedals. if i do how would i go about setting my signal chain up? i'd of thought runing through my pedals then into the rack fx would be great for delays/reverbs etc etc, but isn't it recommended things like octavers needs to come first in the chain?

Same here! I'm adding pedals specifically for distortion to my rack and will be 'remote switching' them via my TC G-Major 2, so they are not down on the floor.

This sounds interesting... I'll delve a little deeper when I get on a proper internet connection
