Paul S Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago 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 Quote
Dad3353 Posted 1 minute ago Posted 1 minute ago If you're not using, or going to use, the Fender (and it does seem to be rather, err... 'complex' to pilot...), maybe try to trade it for an Fx pedal you'd be happy with..? I don't know if there's a RichTone outlet near you, but they do offer s/h pedals, and invite part exchange. On looking through their site, briefly, I see a couple of Sonicake RockStage ùulti-Fx, at £39, s/h, which look to be simple and direct enough to do the essentials. See here... RichToneMusic s/h Multi-Fx ... Plenty of other fish in the sea, of course, but a decent s/h pedal would fit the budget, and a trade-in would maybe see you evens, too..! Just a thought, if it helps.
