I am rekindling a love of 6 strings and feel I'd like to introduce some subtle and simple effects - bit of overdrive, reverb etc. I have, already, gathering dust in the loft a Fender G-dec 30 that has a plethora of built in presets and customisable things. I never quite managed to get my head around it when I bought it and don't expect to find it any more intuitive now.
So I am thinking maybe an archaic Zoom or similar would be an easier introduction. Something old, elementary and cheap.
Or would it? Are the older multi-effects any easier to untangle? Should I just grasp the nettle and deep dive into the G-Dec manual?
Two things to bear in mind are a/ I am a cheapskate and dont want to spend much money and b/ I am not very good with technical things.
Many thanks.
Paul
