Thanks for the input guys, really do need to give these things a test drive - although I am loath to do much of my shopping on Denmark Street, that's probably where I'll have to go.

[quote name='gafbass02' post='1216819' date='May 1 2011, 07:46 PM']I used to have the boss gt6-b and looked hard at the gt10, but I use the zoom b9.1ut. It's instant switching beat the boss stuff for me. The valve preamp and two way way pedal helped too!! I've never looked back since switching from separate pedals. It really is an outstanding multi effect. It has it's own switchable fx loop too for adding other pedals.[/quote] I have an old Zoom 607 knocking about somewhere which I never really got on with - it felt and sounded cheap, which undoubtedly it was, but it makes me suspicious of anything made by them. Also really hard to find good demo's of the thing! Are there any decent comparisons about?

Variable Impedance Buffers look interesting, I can't see any commercially available - am I just looking in the wrong places? I had a look through the sticky a few times - it's what put me on to the M13 (I hadn't heard of them previously). My understanding is that I would need quite a long time sitting down with the GT-10B to make sense of it while the M13 has a more 'plug and play' quality about it which might have an influence on what I get out of either of them in a shop - so some impartial (or otherwise) input would be great.

Hello chaps, I have a dilemma on my hands: I have finally come into enough money to solve my desire for a multieffects (I was going to go down the stomp route but I'm leaning towards the versatility of multis). Question is - which one? I've narrowed it down to a Line 6 M13 or a GT-10B I think - but I just cannot decide which will better suit me. Currently I have an Ashdown Drive Plus and a Markbass Compressore - the Drive Plus doesn't like my active bass so I need something that has serviceable drives and fuzzes to replace that, but I would like to keep the Compressore in my chain. What do you guys think would fit the bill? Thanks for any input! (edit: my budget stretches to around £450 so if there's an in-budget alternative - I'm all ears)

What type of music you play??[/quote] Bit of a stylistic mongrel really, mostly in the rock/metal category but I never learned to play particularly fast with my right hand - much prefer doing something melodically interesting than pumping out lots of notes. Currently having lessons with Steve Lawson to get my musicality up to scratch, breaking out of parroting basslines and doing something different with them instead. The man is an inspiration.

Hello there, My name's Simon and I'm an alc...err...Bassist. I've been playing for 10 years now, my playing took a nosedive in the last few years (since getting a job essentially) but I'm back on it and here to grab some inspiration. Currently playing and Ibanez BTB 670 through an Ashdown MAG300 1x15" with a Mark Bass Compressore and Ashdown Drive Plus often sitting in the middle - sadly the Drive pedal doesn't play nicely with the active electronics (bought with my old passive in mind) See you around.
