I bought a Digitech RP500 last year after years of hauling around a pedal board. The sound is actually awesome, even through my 70′s twin reverb. On my website, http://www.multieffectpedal.com, I recently calculated the equivalent cost of individual pedals, and at a minimum, it would be $1200 bucks to even come close to what you can get on a modern multi effect unit. My RP500 cost just over $300. The biggest improvement is the sound, and ability to edit the individual effects.

Not all pedals, however, are used in the same fashion. Wah pedals, like the popular Crybaby pedal, are used by first stepping all the way down on the pedal to activate a switch and then gently rocking the pedal back and forth as the “wah” effect increases and diminishes to one’s liking. Volume pedals operate similarly.

I also think that with using multi-effect you don’t get an understanding of what each pedal does. And how to set it up or add it to other pedals to get a certain overall sound.
I do think that for the price multi-effect units are better value. You can strip the patches down to the single effect and then learn how to build it up.

Original guitar sounds are way different. This effect machine can be useful if you’re only using guitar to a minimum but if the sounds of guitar strings are your emphasis, then there are better choices.

Exhaustive list there of guitar effects pedals. Now if only I could play the guitar. Perhaps with some practice I’ll get a little better. I can only hope.

Never realized that extent and vast different kinds of guitar pedals they had. Very informative list you have there.

These are great… But everyone knows that these effects are useless if you don’t master everything there is to learn about playing the guitar. Play like you mean it and play to your heart’s desire and I guarantee you, your music will be a whole lot better with or without these pedals.. Agree?

I’m a big fan of Waves GTR3. I find I can get a real nice sound by running my guitar direct in using a tube preamp. I also sometimes use my Wah pedal before… that can sound great. But with GTR3 I can emulate all kinds of different amps AND all kinds of different guitar pedals.

I’m not saying it’s as good as the real thing, but it’s a helluva a lot cheaper and easier to use. And more flexible.
