spooksagain Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi everyone, I'm thinking of using a multi-fx but cannot afford a brand new one. I've decided to go for a second hand Boss GT-6B or a Korg AX3000B. Is anyone out there knows which is best and why? I'm after a good Overdrive, Flanger, EQ and Delay and maybe basss-synth... I won't really use amp simulation, cabs etc. Best regards Yves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I really didn't like the GT-6B, I just couldn't get used to it at all. I've not tried the Korg. Have you looked at the newer Zoom units? I find these more intuitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxxwj Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Zoom B3 would work nicely with a Phat Phuk B for overdrive. I don't know anything about synths, ask Shep about those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topo morto Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Don't know about the sound quality but I had an AX1000G for guitar - those korg units are very easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.I. Joe Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have a Korg AX3000B for sale at £100. It does everything you need from a multi effects and a load of stuff that you don't but are fun to play with anyway! It makes a decent preamp/DI and is also useful for recording too.

tauzero Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I have an AX3000B which I like. One nice feature is that you can edit the sounds with a (Windows) PC with a MIDI interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 MB1. Local eh? Have had experience with both units and i prefered the Korg AX3000B, the quality of effects was better imho and you dont have to be able to fly a commercial airliner to use it.

EskimoBassist Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I used a Korg AX3000B for years both live and in the studio: in short, it's a fantastic piece of kit. For the price they can be had they represent a fantastic bang for buck. For me, it was a simple choice over the GT-6B. The chorus and modulation effects are the true shining points of the unit, together with the amp modelling. On top of that, the delays, overdrives and fuzz effects are all brilliant too, plus you can assign the expression pedal to control any parameter within any effect, or use as a global volume. It can be used in 'patch mode', where you can swap quickly between groups of effects or you can instead select a patch and use it in 'stomp mode' where you ca treat each patch like a set of individual effects to be turned on and off at will. And believe it or not, but I did manage to get a usable synth sound out of it. The downsides: it does not have a DI out (you may not need one) or a looper.
