I was talking to a Guitar player and an engineer that works for a big music store chain about effects. He said he has tried about everything. He showed me a Green colored delay that was made by line 6 that was about 250.00 that has samples of different delays. This thing did seem very nice. He said he thinks it best to have something designated to delays. Then he said a HolyGrail for reverb. I have heard these are the best reverbs or one of the best anyway. Anyone tried these?

| The Line6 unit was probably a DL4. He's right about the quality, too- they sound great and can't be beat for flexibility, though they have a pretty big footprint. The Holy Grail is a killer reverb, you can look it up in history and find a bunch of threads about them. Both are great units. |

I just got four of the new Line 6 Tone Core pedals. One of them is a rotary speaker simulator called a Roto Machine that sounds very good. The fast and slow speeds can be set separately and are switched by lightly tapping the footswitch. The unit is bypassed by pushing the footswitch harder. The bypass switch has a detent you can feel. There is also an LED on top that indicates the mode its in. I played a lot of blues on C6th at a jam Saturday night and it really sounded good.
The other stompboxes are an Echo Park digital delay, a Crunchtone distortion box, and a Verbzilla digital reverb. I haven't put the others through their paces yet, but initial trials seem positive. The housings are cast metal of some sort and heavy, you don't have to worry about them sliding around. Also, different modules can be used in the same housing, a rather unique concept.
I used to think multi-effects units were the only way to go, but now I'm leaning toward stomp boxes.

Darvin, I'm with you, Stomp Boxes are THE way to go.  Especially if the ole back isn't what it used to be. |
