Which Rackmount Effects Unit do you use?

[Paul Tauterouff]

I have an Alesis Midiverb 4 rackmount unit which I use with my guitar. I was curious as to which unit others are using. I am considering upgrading to something by TC Electronics or Rocktron. Any thoughts?

i think the rocktron prophesy is the best.

I just updated everything so I could use the same setup for studio and live.
Everything fits in a coupla rack mount road cases except the Marshall amps and cabinets.
For studio, I still tend to fall back on using AmpliTube as well as my old Boss ME-5 with the RedBox Cabinetulator though, cause it has an awesome chorus sound.

The only rackmount kit I have is an ADA MP-1. Not to bad of a piece I suppose.

Kevin, I almost craped on myself after reading your setup! Got any pictures?

My rack is mainly for recording, but it might eventually be used for live stuff.

-Furman Power Conditioner
-PODxt
-PreSonus COMP16 compressor
-Presonus FireBox soundcard
-Peavey Rockmaster preamp
-Behringer DEQ2496 digital EQ
-Crown CE1000 power amp

For effects, I just use the ones in the PODxt, and my individual effects pedals.

yeah, I'll post a pic as soon as I can get a better camera
My stupid $99 camera from eBay is stuck on Macro so all it takes is lo-res closeups of dust bunnies.
