So for me the convenience of having a one multi purpose pedal outweighs the better tone I know I would have with discreet pedals and an amp.īut what is good tone anyway? Is it Hendrix? Joe Pass? Page? Beck? Kenny Burrell? Chet Atkins? Kirk Hammett? Emily Remler? Al Caiola? Steve Cropper? Eddie VanHalen? Herb Ellis? David Gilmore? Duane Allman? Allan Holdsworth? Carlos Santana? Stanley Jordan? Barney Kessell? Pat Metheny? Les Paul? Slash? Johnny Smith? Terry Kath? And which guitar/amp or which phase of their career? (I also play keyboard synth and bass, but I don't bring them on stage).

I consider myself adequate on the flute and adequate on the guitar. I am an excellent saxophonist (best in the state 3 years running), and I think an excellent wind synthesist. So the last thing I want to do is hook up a half dozen discreet pedals and/or schlepp around a guitar amp. * a million wires (or it seems like that many) 3 synthesizer modules (in a 4 space rack) I do one-nighters and a few times per week I schlepp and set up: In my duo I play Sax, Flute, Wind Synth, Guitar, Vocals and a MIDI Percussion controller. However, guitar is not my main instrument. You are correct, I do understand that, and I know I have to make a compromise. And in a little box that does one hundred things, sounding good and quiet will not be among them.

Your choice of course' date=' but remember, you are only as good as your weakest link in the chain. You will be sacrificing quality in return for quantity. You are asking a lot for an all in one box.
