Good Guitar Effects?

BIR	Date: June 14, 2006 @ 4:57 AM I had an old Digitech gsp21 that just took a dump.. New fuse..yea! Whoa.. well..it's now a smoke machine. So I shopping and I'm looking at all the floor models/table models and I'm thinking...what happened to all the rack effects? I plan on recording direct to a yamaha aw1600-DAW,not-computer connected. I have been looking at these.. Line6-POD,Korg-ax3000g,Digitech-GNX3,Vox-tonelab. Most of the units come with some form of Distortion but... To add some extra distortion,I'm thinking about adding a Digitech-DF7 pedal. My question,Anybody use any of those effects? What effect do you use to record direct? Mic'n a 4x12 stack or two loaded with effects turned up loud always sounds better,moves more air,and vibrates the guitar.. But thats not an option in my recording area.

GeneHilbert	Date: June 15, 2006 @ 1:27 AM I have some old rack gear – (Roland GS-6, Ensoniq DP/2, ADA Microcab 2 but I never use it for guitar anymore. I also have 2 Pod Pro racks, - they are good and pricey but good sounds. The Johnson J-Station is surprisingly good for the price. I have an older Digitech RP100 but the sound is just too flat and lifeless. I'm using my Cyber-Twin exclusive now - pricey but "WOW" what a sound.

Traf	Date: June 15, 2006 @ 4:40 AM I've used nothing but line 6 for years nnow and swear by them. They're more of an amp modeling processor rather than just an effect unit, and I found they work much better on their own than plugged into other amps.
pog	Date: June 15, 2006 @ 5:23 AM Screw digital effects processors... I used to have a roland-me-10, and when that died, I was devastated. Now days, I think that buying old, unique sounding pedals is the go... that way, if one dies, it's only part of your sound that needs to be replaced. And they are far more versatile
