    Best Multi-Effects Pedalboard?

    I'm currently playing through a Digitech GNX4 and am feeling the need to step up to something newer. I don't gig much anymore (tho I would like to) but want something that I can DI into my Zoom HD8CD digital recorder to lay down tracks with. I've been looking at the RP1000, PodX3, Tonelab and a few others. I don't want to hassle with a bunch of pedals, just want an all-in-one unit. The Eleven Rack looks pretty cool but is a little more moolah then I want to spend. My price range is around $500. Thoughts, suggestions, experiences? Thanks.

    Having played/owned pretty much all the units you mentioned including an Axe-FX, i ended up with a Line 6 M13 and a Tech 21 Liverpool in the effects Loop for my amp sim for direct recording. You cant beat the effects in the M13 IMHO for the price. What kind of music do you play?
    Great dealings with: Iggs, Sneaky, Spike, JHarasym, NIckZ, Blues Jr, greco, Greenbacker, bbigsby, FlashPUNK, dufe32, Robboman, lbrown1, Joey D., Scottone

    The current Guitar Player (Kiss cover) compares 5 different multi-FX floorboards.

    Line 6 M9. I have one, and man, is it the s**t...


    Seriously. The FX sound great to my ears, and there is so much you can do with it. For a little extra, the M13 is even better...

    YMMV
    If I know your uncle, they're at least strippers.

    The GP judgment on the M9 was that it had a lot of what the M13 has in a smaller, more convenient, and cheaper package. The RP1000 also received a big thumbs up for the sheer variety of sounds possible.

    Thanks for the tip. I'll have to pick that issue up.

    Hi
    I'm not pro guitarist but I've played a lot of multi effect before, I've played Pod XT, pod XT Live, Pod X3, Boss GT8, Boss ME50, Tonelab ST...

    But I just bought my tonelab LE and man, it sounds so so so Amazing, even you take a preset and just plug and play. I play all kind of music, satriani, metallica, acdc, led zeppelin, clapton, pink floyd.. and I'm in a cover band, and the Tonelab LE is just a box what I need and looking for a long long time. The sound is so so smoth, and for me I don't like tweak. I just read manual 5 minutes, some teak to choose my best amp, some disto, reverb and here u go.

    If you can have occassion, just check the tonelab LE, I love this sound, and I will get a MXR EQ 10 band soon to plug before the Tonelab, incredible sound !!!!

    Hey Big Daddy!

    I am also a proud owner of a Vox Tonelab LE and I have to say that it has a complexity of sounds that are preset from the factory that you can easily work with and manipulate to suit your needs. Very versitile and it has a 12ax7 tube for pure tube overdrive. The lead player in my band just bought one as well. 399.00 at L&M. Good Choice!
    SRV Strat,Gibson LP XR2,Godin A6 ultra,Yamaha F 375s Acoustic,Fender/Rivera Super Champ,THD Bivalve 30 head,Fender Acoustasonic Junior DSP,Thd 2x12,Marshall Jubilee 2x12,Are you a real clown, or just wearing make-up?
