Best multi-effect pedal???

someone is going to buy me some effect. If I ask him to buy me stomp boxes it would cost a lot so to lessen some expenses I decided to choose a multi effect pedal. what would be the best pedal to recommend? im in to metal , steve vai sound, and SRV

what do you think about
Zoom 707II
Boss ME-50
Korg - AX10G Guitar Modeling Pedal
Boss GX700 Effects Processor

I've got a Boss ME-50... it serves me well. I used to have an RP-200. It can sound a lot more synthetic than the ME-50, which can be good if you like that. Both are great, though for someone on a small budget.

boss gt 6 is good for me

Does multi effect have good distortions in it? if u campare it to single boxes w/c do u think is better?

Nowadays multieffects pad have pretty good distortion. I would stay away from Zoom if you think of recording music on computer since all the ones I have tried are really really noisy. Even with the built-in noise gate that usually only kills you sustain and leaves the noise lol

Anyway I never had a good zoom pad for recording.

I've heard very good rewiews about GT6 and RP200. I've heard recording done with RP200 and they sounded great.

I personnaly have a Yamaha DG-Stomp that I would never trade for anything. It's a discountinued model but it's just great. Yamaha has a new magic stomp or something, didn't get good reviews from the folks I know.

And one more thing, get one that has a built-in pre-amp ... gonna save you a lot of headaches if you wanna record on PC.

Hope this helps.

YEah they have good distortions especially if your creative to mix and match with different preamps. They will never be as good as single stomp boxes...cuz emulation doesnt beat orginality. If i was going on tour i would bring stomp boxes but being realsitic and having to lugg **** around its nice to have it in one unit. I promise with the gt 6 you wont be dissappointed...at the very least you will be happy. It can be very trickey though with the gt 6, it takes a lot of time to find the right combos with your amp and no patches ever sound the same cuz of the 'colouring' of others equipment.

gt6 sounds interesting. but how about the price? maybe it would be 2 expensive. my ideal set-up as of now is just metal zone chorus and a compressor...

its better to buy multi effect so i can choose variation of effects. and buy single stomp boxes after i found my sound

A Boss ME-50 is basically a cheaper version of the GT-6. It has many of the same main effects and an expression pedal as well, so then you get volume and wah effects as well.

I haven't personally tested out an ME-50, but have heard many favourable reviews of it (even on this board).

Pricewise, it is one of the best values around for what effects you get for the money.

Gt 6 is about the price of 5 pedals... If your a meat and potatoes kind of guy then dont bother but if you find your self buying more and more pedals as time goes on it can be a good investment. The me-50 is a viable option for those on a budget.

when i wanted to get an fx unit i originally lookd at me-50 but went on it and for me it dint seem all that. dnt get me wrong its good and i kno people who have them and think theyre ace but 4 me i cudnt change enuff on it 2 personalise it.

i eventually went for the gt6 and although its alot more (i think it was £350) its been well worth it you get great sounds for all styles of music and youve got 85 banks with 4 patches in each bank. You can then change absolutely everything on an effect you can make all sorts of cool sounds. at first it looks quite complicated to use because of its huge size but its easy after uv spent a few weeks messing around with it. I have created the sounds that i previously wanted for my amp and then made them much beefier. If you can stretch to £350 i would definately get the gt6, its amazing!

As a gt 6 owner, i pretty much believe that the ME 50 is just the same fx (thou less of them), disortions, delays, chorus etc etc with out the pre amps. This can be good if you like your amp anyways. Looks like a good machine.

I have one, actually my first and only processer..lol
It ok to me, with lots of controls/sounds and amp models to choose from. I just gotta get a better amp myself, the crate 15W don't cut it..

I had the me-50 and I returned it youve been warned
