Hi all,,,
Just wondering what you guys think is the best rack distortion effect for under £200 (used ).
Over the years i have used everthing from an old vox fuzz pedal,thru tubescreamers,,,,digitech and korg floor units,,, rack mounted gear,, zoom hyperleads,,,you name it,,i have probably used it.
Now,,, some of the units have been great,,,,,for instance, i should NEVER have sold my Tubescreamer,,, and i had this digitech once that,,,,,, you know what i mean.
Styles and tastes change,, as does the quality and price of new gear, so there is never going to be the definitive distortion around.
What i am looking for is the type of sound i get from my fender amps dirty channel,,, its been a bread and butter sound, and i have never heard anything similar.
Wondering if there is any such thing as a rack mounted distortion unit, with a variety of pre set sounds and also programmable settings.
I am sick of getting rack mounted effects proccesors that have a great variety of sounds, but when it comes to distortion,,, they are all crap.
Can anyone recommend a unit to me ????
My tastes go from blues to rock,,, but i also like to have a wide range of lead sounds , from hendrix to satriani,,,
A lot to ask ,,i know,,,,, but, there must be an industry standard.
PS,,, before anyone asks,,,, i buy most of my gear used,,,mainly from ebay
so trying gear out isnt possible. I ussually go on recommendations, or by reasearching the gear first.
I am still a fan of hardware and dont want to venture into the vst pluggins that are around at the moment,, regardless of what reveiws they get. All in good time.
Would appreciate any ideas.
I run everthing thru my mixer then into cubase sx3.
Cheers,,,,, kev.
