    As always, it depends on your budget and your requirements.


    This is regarded as the best pocket-sized multi effect modeller:

    Although it's not suitable for live playing.



    If you want to play live (and if you have a lil' bigger budget) you can aim at something like this:

    It knocks at somewhere around the 220-250 € and it's an excellent piece of gear for that price. For that same price, you can look at the Vox Tonelab EX ( http://www.thomann.de/gb/vox_tonelab_ex.htm ), although I've found that Vox stuff is slightly harder to use and modify than the Boss products. Although it's not something you shouldn't be able to sort out with the instructions and a good dose of patience
  2. What about the Line6 Pod HDs?
  3. I only speak of gear I've personally tried
  4. Then I'd very much appreciate if you could tell me what you thought about the thing that's important to a U2 fan... the echo
  5. Well, echo/delay is easily emulated with any of those I pointed out, even with lower-end pedalboards like the one I own myself (Digitech RP-50). Nevertheless, if you want to have a PROPER delay unit, the Boss pedal is excellent: http://www.u2start.com/topic/363/381115/#381115

    Do you know if it is possible to have multiple delays with the Boss ME-70, like you need for Streets?

    I think so, but I am not sure. Maybe Google it, I don't have the time... But it's worth every penny. Line 6 products are better as a whole but more expensive and less easy to customize - I think.
  8. I wonder how lacking the Boss ME-25 is compared to the ME-70... saw in that link that Joe has an ME-25.
  9. The ME-70 is more complete in terms of the number of different presets you can set up. I have a close friends who has used the ME-70 in some live shows (ME-70, a guitar and an amp - that's all) and he's completely satisfied with it. I have only tried the ME-25 a couple of minutes but it just didn't feel so easy to use (it only has 3 pedals as far as I can remember, one for effect up, one for effect down and the solo-ing one). The delay is harder to use too, in the ME-75 is almost as precise and easy to config as on the separate pedal
  10. You mean ME-70, right?
  11. Yes
  12. I did the same mistake earlier, hehhehe.

    The Line6 HD500 is teeeeeeeeeeeemptiiiiiiing.
