GUITAR BOARD

> Last night when I got to my gig, I opened my gigbag to find that my old
> Boss ME6 effects pedal wasnt there. (Found it at 1:00am under the
> dining table). Not a problem, I have plan B - an old Zoom 505 in a side
> pocket of the bag, so I plugged in and got a horrible hissy crackly mess
> - so the Zoom wasnt any good. Plan C? Just me, my guitar, (A Cort
> koreacaster with Mighty Mite pickups) into my amp (Laney VC30 bought
> with advice from this group). And it wasnt too shabby a sound, either
> (cant comment on the playing, of course!)
> But there are some FX Id like to have. Obviously, I dont need amp
> modelling - Laney VC30, remember! - but need the usual things, chorus,
> delay, compressor, Id like a decent rotary sound and also
> tremelo/vibrato - you know, wobbly wobbly. I play blues - mainly, but
> not only, rhythm - in fact more lead as gigs progress. I also play slide
> on about 3 or 4 numbers, depending on the set list.

> I never managed to get into programming patches on my Boss ME6, or even
> use them (found switching too complicated), rather I use it in manula
> mode and switch effects on and off as required. Im prepared, though, to
> embrace the digital age, provided my brain wont hurt too much, and
> consider a pedal with easily selectable and easily modified patches, or
> good patches that i dont need to change. Ideas, please.
