Rack Multi-Effects Units That Are Available Today?
Preferred models?
I have used a Peavey Tube Flex with a Nashville 400 for years but Tube Flex are getting hard to find, etc! So, I'm looking around for a newer model FX unit that is still in production.
I'm getting a new Quilter Steelaire so why not upgrade to a new FX rack unit that steel players know and like.
Suggestions needed.
Cheers,
Billy

I use stomp box pedals with my Steelaire. It seems that most rack FX units require a line level signal while stompboxes and the Quilter FX loop require an instrument level signal.

I hear you. I'm still using rack multi-fx units too. I'm good for now, but always looking.
I noticed some available units at www.sweetwater.com
TC Electronic has 3 or 4 units compatible with musical instruments. From the low end M100 stereo to the later G2 units. I believe the folks at Telonics are using one of their units in their rack stuff.
They also still show the Avid Eleven Rack available, so they're still around. |

| If size and weight are a factor you might look at the ZOOM Multi Stomp Multiple effects multiple settings for each and the ability to use more than one at a time in a very small single pedal. |

This isn't a rack unit but the Line 6 M9 is a good effects unit. Only 3 effects at a time.

| Your 'Steelaire' amp features a 9V output jack mounted in the rear panel for powering effect pedals eliminating the need for an external power supply. A rack mount multi effects unit normally requires 120V AC, one more piece of equipment to plug in. |
