stomp box board
What kind of guitar effects should I use?

I am currently reconstructing my guitar rig and am trying to decide weather to go the stomp box and pedal board route, get a multi effects floor unit, or buy rack units with the a midi controller.

I like stomp boxes, but they can get expensive and when I play live I don’t want to have to tap-dance to get a decent sound. Rack units can also get expensive, and its a lot to lug around to band practice. A multi effects floor board would be nice. I want something with good tone, nice effects, and presets. I was looking at the Vox tonelab LE and also the Boss GT10.

My budget is around $400-$500. I am willing to buy used. I play anything from Avenged Sevenfold, Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, christian rock, Nine Inch Nails… I play every style. I have a Line 6 Spyder II 112 amp.

I am open to all opinions and viewpoints. I’d appreciate your advice.

I used to use a Boss GT10 for live shows and it was amazing. It took me quite a while before I learned to use it, since I’d only used stomp boxes and am a bit of a purist when it comes to technology. But I was able to combine all the effects I wanted to use for each song and activate them with a single step, which was life-changing. And it never gave me a moment’s trouble, despite being carted around in a backpack for years. In retrospect, I’m a little sorry I waited so long to investigate modern technology, since the GT10 simplified my life. Good luck to you!

popular 80′s items ?

im making some stomp boxes/effects pedals for my guitar and i want to be creative with my case designs. i need some popular 80′s items that could easily house a stomp box. the whole circuit board is less than the size of a playing card and about an eighth of an inch thick. but the dilemma comes with the jacks and potentiometers. they are a regular 1/4 inch jack (like the ones found on guitars and amps) they are roughly about the size of a 1″x1″x1″ cube. and the potentiometers are about an inch wide and about a quarter inch deep. i want some creative ideas. i think my first one will be a stack of cassettes.
