No Preamp Effects Units

[Trypp Powell]

Other than the current offerings from T.C. Electronics and Rocktron (the xpression) what else is out there? I'm looking for something to put in the fx loop of my F-50.

About ten years ago (perhaps less) didn't Korg offer a pretty decent multi fx oriented for guitar that was primarily modulation, delay, and reverb type effects? I also seem to remember Peavey having something like that as well, but I can't recall any of the model numbers.

Boss ME50 is something to look at.
The Behringer V-amp 2 works great too because you can shut off the modeling and the preamps with a push of a button. It then becomes and effects processor. Works quite well and its super cheap.

POD's work good for this - you can turn off the preamp. Also, older Rocktron units are great too such as the Intellifex. Roland has made a whole bunch of units over the years (the Boss VF-1 is way cool). Yamaha SPX stuff is fantastic and so is the MagicStomp.

Lexicon does some great stuff as well, and even though most of it isn´t "guitar" gear it works super.
