jimwin Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Having had many years of individual stomp boxes, am looking to try multi-effects. I have had a GT10b before - but found it to be "jack of all trades - master of none" with loads of stuff that was unusable. Am really only looking for decent Chrous, delay, reverb, octave, boost, fuzz and a bit of synth. Not bothered at all about amp modelling. I am just trying to simplify my set-up. The Korg AX3000B seems to have quite good write ups with the features I am looking for.....anyone got any experience of this pedal? If not, any other suggestions (need it for live work so I will need instant access to patches and will need to have by-pass) Thanks for any advice.

charic Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 A budget would probably help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenerased Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I used a Korg AX3000B when in a Muse tribute band and I found it very easy to use. Some of the pre-programed sounds were very useful, some not as much, but it's quite easy to tweak and alter the pre-programed sounds. However, my only critisism was that the only way to bypass the unit was to go into "tuner" mode. There may be a true bypass mode but after 2 years of using it I hadn't discovered it!

EskimoBassist Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 It is a fantastic multi effects unit for the price. I used one live and in the studio for about 3 years and it didn't fail me once. Have a quick search on this forum, there's loads of golden info about it on here. I left my board at Uni last year but had a gig to do so I took this instead and fell back in love with it. I've since gone for single stomps, but don't let that detract from what is a brilliant pedal. I especially enjoyed being able to assign the expression pedal to any parameter and having such a diverse range of effects available. I loved all the modulation effects, especially the choruses, the delays were great too, however many gripe over the overdrive and synth sounds: although I agree that the Synth module is limited, I still used it well. With regards to the overdrive section, I think that such a criticism is completely unfair. In fact I still come back to the fuzz patch I created every now and then as it reacts very well with other overdrive pedals I use and has oodles of lowend, For the price, expect £80-100, I don't think it can be beaten. Would I go multi again? Possibly, but I'd get an M9 and not use the overdrive section, incorporating it with my current stomp setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimwin Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Thanks for your replies. Now looking for an M9 also to compare....never really imagined guitar fx to be used with bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
