1. I've been using the Line6 M-models (The M9 in my bedroom and the M13 with my band). I don't need the amp models and pedal that comes with the HD500, as it has the same effects that the (cheaper) M-models come with. If you're just looking for effects and don't need amp modelling I'd say go for the M9 or M13, but if you're looking for the most variety you can get go for the HD model. I HAVE heard of a bunch of problems occuring with the new HD500 though, but perhaps those have been patched since its release.

    Just keep doin' research!
  2. The M13 is even more expensive than the HD500

    Wow really? That's odd...

    You could go for the M9, that's what I use most of the time, can't complain, does everything I need it to.
  4. So, I think I've decided to get one of the cheaper multi-effects that don't know how to do everything. I think I just don't deserve some big fancy thing yet, maybe in a few years or if I become part of a band.

    Boss ME-25 vs Vox Tonelab ST?
  5. I haven't tried the Vox and my experience with the Boss isn't enough to do a full judgement, but I liked very much what I tried on the ME-25 And I support your idea of getting a lower-end multi effect unit to start with, there's no sense to buy a 3073489573894 € unit if you're not going to use 95% of the options and stuff it comes with. You'll be happy enough with the Boss unit, I think!
  6. Still, that COBL sound... droooool.

    It's easy to get greedy.
  7. I'm saving as much money as I can for the Telecaster I talked about a few pages back ( http://www.u2start.com/topic/3991/444531/ ) but I'm still far from the 600€ target, so I'm thinking of buying that same model, but used or refurbished. Do any of you have any experience with used guitars? I mean, do any of you have bought used or refurbished guitars from the internet? I buy a lot from eBay and other online shops and everything arrives safe, but a guitar is not something like a CD or a t-shirt, it's something serious and I'm not sure if I should do it. Thanks in advance for your experience and opinions
  8. And now a PM from Matt really has me thinking that maybe I should get real pedals instead.
  9. More expensive
  10. ALX
  11. Obviously real pedals are better but much more costly.

    i actually prefer buying used. its weird. but im sentimental. and I like for the guitar to look worn or even have some cosmetic damage on it. Im all about mojo. as for will it look as nice as a used. sometimes. i would always encourage musicians to buy used. its muuuuuch cheaper.

    and as for the pedals question. pedals are always better. and not as expensive if you buy used. I would never sacrifice tone because its cheaper. and im currently unemployed lol you can find a fulltone ocd (incredible overdrive) for right around 150 bucks and a good delay for about the same. Go with real pedals if you can
