makes a lot of sense. thanks lordathestrings. i finally get the chance to try the gt 6 and they are slightly different at certain sounds. it was really hard choosing between. There are some effects where the gt- 6 sounds better than the ax 1500g- but the 1500 g isn't that very far behind. What I like most about the korg is that the distortions sound more cleaner than the gt- 6, i think. I especially loved using the messa boogie recto patch! In the end, after 3 hours in the store, making them music people crazy, i finally decided to stay with the ax 1500g (i had it ordered last dec 27th- if i found that the gt 6 was better, i would've changed my order) because it's more easy to use (i find it more user friendly than the gt- 6) and i feel that i am also getting quality effects (if not better than the gt- 6) for a bit cheaper price (Only $299 Canadian!). I was planning to sell my individual stomp boxes but thanks to you, i changed my mind. It's nice to have one of them stomp boxes if i ever found out an effect that i don't like in the korg.
