sold

[Mark Wein]

thats really tempting. I have no use for it but Ive always wanted to try one.

[telecaster911]

I have one. I'm surprised that you don't like it. @Mark, I'll bring it to P-Stock for you to try. It's killer through my Sovtek and a 4 12 cab...huge Recto palm mutes without sounding like a Recto :thu:

[telecaster911]

Did you tweak the internal pots???????

[mystixboi1]

it sounds great... really versatile gain, but something came up and i need the cash!!!

[paulskirocks]

Man, do I take the plunge and buy my first pedal since the 80s? Howie??

Depends...is this the kind of pedal you are looking for? High gain distortion shenanigans on tap.

I don't know what I want! But, I do like high gain distortion...

the pedal does more than high gain i think... Aahazz has a clip of playing one with pretty low/medium gain. sounds pretty good

Barber has some clippys on his site that demo the range:

Cool, thanks for the link... There are some good sounds, for sure... I know what this is going to lead to...

i've never really played Barber pedals, so i can't tell you anything about them. good reputation. that's all i got.

[paulskirocks]

And, of course, this is 1/5th of the way to just getting a Line 6 POD HD500 and just being done with it for a while... Le sigh... :)

[Prages]

I've got a Barber Direct Drive Super Sport on my board, and it sounds great through all of my amps. Especially the Bassman and the Weber.

find a used one?

[paulskirocks]

find a used one?

Heck, even if I buy new, it wouldn't take long to spend a lot more on individual pedals than the HD500... Of course, after I get the HD500, my obsessive compulsive nature will kick in, and I'll still want pedals... :facepalm:

Sorry for the thread hijack!

Not to queer John's thread but you're in the perfect position for a multi-efx unit or even a computer interface/software package like Guitar Rig. You don't know what you want, don't already have a collection of pedals where you need to fill in the blank spots and modeling will give you the opportunity to sample a bit of everything.

i started out with a Digitech RP-10 in 1994. i had only been playing a few years, had no idea what i wanted, so i decided to get everything at once.

the board in my last pic, including cables and the board itself, cost me $1000.

Oh, I've had the Line 6 UX2 interface for a couple years, now, and am happy enough with it... So, I've had a chance to get to know the POD Farm stuff... However, the new unit is a whole different animal, and I really want to try one out... I have liked the demos I've heard so far... I like the idea that the HD500 can act as a complete pedal board for live playing, and is also a complete interface for the computer...

Think of it like this:

A multi-tool will get a lot of stuff done:

So will a fully stocked tool box:

Which would you rather use? :o

I used pretty much this same analogy in a class last night for a different topic :o

I'm also on the Barber Bandwagon with my Direct Drive SS...plus David Barber is a really nice guy who stands by his products.

that depends. are you gonna carry that thing to all my gigs and rehearsals? no? i didn't think so.

sometimes the multi-tool fits the bill.

If I'm working on my car, I'm going to carry the full tool box to the garage rather than use the multi-tool. If I'm stranded on the side of the road and the multi-tool is what I've got, I'll be damned thankful to have it.

Good analogy.

Of course I have both.....pedals and a full blown MFX modeling board. Both have their uses. I use the pedals and amp 90% of the time though.

now what if you're just getting into tools and just need something to mess around with? the multi-tool might be the right thing. especially because of the portability factor. also, those tools are getting better all the time. they might surprise you.

[Prages]

Of course another analogy would be:

If you just need a screwdriver, you could use a multi-tool, but using a screwdriver will likely get the job done faster and easier.

So, if you only need overdrive and EQ, why have a million and one okay effects when you can just get a nice OD and a nice EQ pedal?


But I also agree that if you don't really know what kind of effects you want, the multi-pedal is a great way to get a bunch of them for a lot less than a bunch of pedals.

When I used my multi-effects processor (Digitech GSP 21 Legend), I only ever used the distortion, EQ, delay and reverb. Maybe some chorus on occassion.

I now have individual pedals for distortion, EQ, delay, and reverb and I'm much happier...not only with the tone, but the ease of tweakability.

i don't disagree. but the opportunity to try out a bunch of stuff in one housing and have all that tweakability is what got both of us to the stage we're at now. if i had it to do over, i wouldn't have spent $500 on my RP-10 and would have bought something smaller. but i get where he's coming from.
