Small, but brilliant Zoom B1X Bass Guitar Multi FX Pedal

Advantages: Small size, great range of sounds, price, well built
Disadvantages: Lack of included AC adapter, expression pedal isn't the best

...Bass, I came across the Zoom B1X Multi FX Pedal, and though "this could be it." The main thing that stood out to me was the small size, and the fact that it would replace four items (tuner, another Multi FX, Chorus, and volume pedal) into just one, fairly small pedal. I paid £55 for mine, buying it on eBay, so it is really affordable. Since buying it, I have used it on a number of gigs and in my practice rig at home, and so have got a fair bit of ...
... Conclusion Over all, I think that the Zoom B1X is a great choice for any new bas guitarist, providing a great range of features for a small price, but a more intermediate player would probably want something a bit more substantial, like the Zoom B2.1U. ...

Review of Zoom B1X Bass Guitar Multi Effects Pedal

Product or Thomann

Advantages: Solid State reliability
Disadvantages: Doesn't have the tone of valve amps

I recently purchased this product from Thomann as a back up for my Valve stereo power amp. (Valve power amps are very tempremental) . This amp works absolutely great. It will never have the warmth and tone of my valve amps but when you turn up at a gig and your valve amp goes tits up, you can rely on this solid state piece of kit to get you through. It certainly has enough power to do the job. I have purchased gear from Thomann before and found their ...
...ratings refering to Thomann rather than the product. (is this because these people are just plain stupid?). I thought I would take a chance and order it anyway. On Monday I made an enquiry in relation to voltage. They replied on Tuesday. so I ordered the amp on that day. On Wednesday they text me to say the item had been despatched. On Friday it was deliverd to my house. From Germany, for free!!!!!!!! I cannot recommend Thomann enough. On the two ...

Review of Rocktron Velocity 100

Great sounding pedal but can take time to find your sound!

Advantages: Great range of adjustable controls
Disadvantages: can take time to 'find you sound'

...huge audio well knowns Behringer! Behringer are known for producing audio gear which may also exist but generally at a cheaper price. Theyre not particularly known for producing guitar effects pedals but this is one of the range that they do make, the 'Ultra metal' pedal designed for the heaviest of rockers out there! I personally dont play alot of metal material myself but this does produce a very nice distortion tone for other purposes as well! ...
...ultra metal does feature some more expansive controls compared to others. For example this pedal features a three band equaliser where the mid frequency also give the user to select which specific frequency is adjusted unlike the the low and high eq which are set at a specific frequency band. Besides the equalisation options the pedal also has adjustable knobs for both the amount of distortion being applied to the original tone as well as an overall ...

Review of Behringer Ultra Metal UM100

Nice Pedal for the price

Advantages: Additional eq controls to shape your tone
Disadvantages: cant argue with the price!

...I first heard about the digitech 'bad monkey' from a friend who used one and recommended them as being a very solid sounding distortion with nice variables so i decided to look further. I went in to my local music store who sold them and tried one out and was surprised very quickly at how good they sounded for the price. The pedal features one input and two outputs allowing the user to had a line level going from the pedal to their amplifier and ...
...later, as a producer, this feature alone is very handy! The unit has 4 adjustable knobs, level, which sets the general volume/amplification of the pedal, gain, which is the amount of distortion added to the original tone and a set of equalisation controls (low and high) to get the more defined tone that your searching for. Of course the pedal is activated and bypassed the same as most other pedals of this kind, by treading/stamping on the bass of ...

Review of Digitech Bad Monkey Overdrive

Brilliant as a modeller and effects unit.

Advantages: Quality sound and effects, will save you a lot of money on the long run
Disadvantages: Hard to use at first, but once you get the hang of it it is fine

...virtually anything you want. Using Line 6 Edit is simple too (this is the web-based firmware to control and edit custom tone's patches and patches already on the POD. // 8 Sound: Currently I'm using a fender 50th anniversary strat with a fender super champ. Some patches make the guitar hum and feedback can be a bad issue, I don't know how to but you can set how much feedback is produced and also hum. It is really loud! it increases the volume of ...
...not, the ones that are weak are meant to be, you can edit them so they aren't weak and vice versa for the not so weak ones. I play alot of Stevie ray vaughn, jimi and the virtuosos such. Anything is possible, through customtone. com I simply enter "little wing"in the search bar and it comes up with alot of particular song tones.One effect I like alot is the "Tube Screamer" a distortion based on the Ibanez Tube Screamer Pedal. // 10 Reliability & ...
