| multi-effects So the xtl just wasn't for me, and someone offered me a traynor for it, so it is gone.
I am looking at multi-effects for time and modulation, and pitch based effects only. This needs to be able to run at +4db in a serial loop. My main amps both have loops that operate at that, so it is a constraint.
I am looking at the Nova system, (bypassing the drive section) or some of the eventide units. The eventide system would be vastly more expensive, but I have about 4k worth of gear to sell to finance whatever I want pretty much.
I need good delay. Really good delay. I like a lot of ambient effects where I throw small ammounts of everything in the mix. (delay, flange, phaser, reverb, and such, all very subtle)
I have contemplated getting a g-system. Knobs are good, menu driven systems drive me insane.
I do not do well with programming midi footswitches, I get frustrated. I owned a gmajor2 and the sound was great, I just could not get all the midi setup well without getting frustrated. I want it to be fairly easily switchable. On paper, the nova system seems to be what I want, but I absolutely love some of what I am hearing from the pitchfactor more... |

| It's too bad that you need something line level, because the M9 or M13 would otherwise be exactly what you're looking for and much cheaper than any of those other systems. Unless you need polyphonic harmony effects. Eventide would be good, but wouldn't you need 3 of their pedals (Timefactor, Modfactor, Pitchfactor) to do all that stuff? |

If you can get a chance to test drive one, I'd check them out. Single pedal like control, with out the hassles and problems associated with connecting and powering many individual pedals. |

| It's freakishly pricey, but if I were going the multi-effects route, I'd go with Axe-FX. Hmmm....lots of programming though....

I really do wish I could just go with an M9.
The eventide stuff looks like exactly what I would want, but it is as pricey as an axe fx. (I am figuring it would run around 1200-1500.) However, the nova system looks like it would do 95% of what I want. I am thinking I may go with it, and add an eventide pitchfactor or something in the future if I can't get those sort of sounds out of the nova. (the pitchfactor is the eventide pedal thats capabilities really wow me. The others sound killer, but that one seems to be the one I would use tons, well, other than the timefactor. I almost always have a delay on.) Quote: |

Hmmm....lots of programming though.... | I have had major thoughts of that, but... the nightmares of programming that unit in midi scare me. If they made something more self-contained, I'd be all over it. |

| Parallel Loops?
Lexicon MPX-1. Pair it with a MIDI controller (preferably one that has some instant access ability), and you'll be set. Plenty of other options if you go this route too...the MPX-1 is usually pretty cheap, and it's really nice.
Serial loop? The same, plus a Suhr Mini-Mix.
