There's no way to get a tone like, say, Paul Gilbert, even with heavy tweaking. If you want a real hi-gain tone you have to tweak, but it will always sound fuzzy. You can easily get blues/classic rock to pretty heavy distortions. Some people claim the wah to suck major dick though, however I think it sounds pretty good. The Tonelab SE has lots of effects, and very solid ones at that. I suggest you use a power amplifier and a cabinet, however, if you switch the output signal to 'amp' you can also use it with a combo. They will make up the majority of your tone, and if you discover you dopn't actually like it, you've gotta go take it back and then try and find a different unit. The main thing is you HAVE to try these before you buy them. The modulations are fantastic and easy to creat the tone you want. I personally don't like the Boss distortions, too gritty for me, but their overdrive patches are tremendous. The GT-6 is't worth it, if you want boss, go for the GT-8. It's better for live playing because the valve gives it a bit more life than just digital patches. Apparently it's very user friendly, but, it tends to be more metal-orientated the hi gain patches are insanely good, but what I've heard of the lower gain and clean patches isn't the best.

Line 6 POD is a versitlile piece of kit, I've never heard any problems with it, but then I've never tried it.

I wouldn't take their advice because every fucker owns one now, and you don't know who's just jumping on the 'love POD' bandwagon. People will here will whore the POD XT Live till the end of time, no matter what. Let me just go over a few things with you so this guy will stop calling you stupid.Īll 3 are good FX units. The only thing that'll change is how it'll sound.
