Hi there,
Although guitar is my main instrument, I don’t like spending time and effort in searching for the right combination of pedals. I would like instead to have one pedalboard/box, which would include all the necessary (for me) effects (overdrive, distortion, reverb, delay, chorus, eq).
Even though there are limited posts regarding the use of the Analog Heat as a guitar pedal, I realised that it can do the job especially if I run my signal through a DI first. I rarely play live gigs, I mainly play and record at home, so I will not be annoyed by the “desktop” nature of the AH and the fact that it can’t be placed on the floor.
I saw some people here and on youtube using it as a guitar pedal with nice results, but none of them used it as an exclusive unit rather than as a complementary unit to their rigs. Therefore, I thought of asking here if using an AH+FX as an exclusive multi-effects unit is a good idea or if I should look for another option.
The other option I have is to buy a BOSS GT 1000 core, but I have the impression (without ever having owned one) that it sounds too “plasticy” and it does not offer “quality” sounds. Maybe I am wrong. I was also thinking of the Fractal Fm3s but they look a bit pricey to me.
I currently have a Strymon Iridium, an EarthQuaker Plumes, and an Eventide H9 (for this last one, even though I like it’s sound a lot I hate the fact that I can only use one algorithm per preset and I also want to avoid computer screens).
If you have any thoughts, please share,
Thanks in advance,
