GT5, POD, or GP100???

[A1A2]

I am looking for an effects processor for my guitar. I wanna be able to have flexibility in making sounds. Mainly, I would need good reverb, decent distortion (not heavy metal type), and good tremolo.

Any thought/experience on Roland GP100, Boss GT5, POD line 6 or even the POD Pro???

thanks

I have a GP100.. I doubt I will ever sell it.. If it breaks (I doubt it) I'll buy a new one..

(now I have to look at ebay to see what the price for a used on is..)

GOD DAMN!!! 375$ !!!!!!!!!!


Not only will you get a very versatile guitar-preamp, but you'll also get a KILLER multi-FX. The reverb is excellent and comes with 5 rooms, HPF, LPF and Predelay. Man.. for 375$....
And if you use it as multi-fx, you can divide the unit in 2 parts (using the send/return on the GP100) to divide it into TWO multi-fx..

I've used a POD.. sure it's a cool unit.. but If you can buy a GP100 at this price...

Why Is the Johson J-Station in there? trust me Try it out, If you are gonna buy a POD, then try out the J-Station with it. For almost half the price, and the fact that its as good as the POD, give it a try, go on, for me

if its for live and studio, go with the GT-6......

The newest Digitech GNtX(3?, or whatever it's called) got pretty good praise from Guitar Player on it's modeling of popular distortion stomp boxes. I don't think anything else attempts to do that.

My only experience is with pod. Very happy, but not 100% satisfied with amp modeling. Effects are ok at best.

I will pretty much be using this effects unit for home recording, but, I would hope GP100 will last outside of home (with a good care).

The 2 units that I am really focusing on right now are GT5 and GP100. GT5 is good to carry around, but I don't know how it would sound in d/i recorxding...??
I have had my eyes on GP100 for awhile by now, and the only drawback is that it's a rack unit, but, with the option of hooking it up with a footboard, I should be ok with doing live, right?....Meshuggah?

It's as good as any amp for live-use.
