very portable effects+pre-amp stuff needed

Post by Johan Jansen »

Hi gang!
In the best conditions at home, I can take all my gear, stereo-set, boogiepre-amp, gp100, and have all the opportuneties to get a sound on stage and in the studio to die for.
But hauling around this stuff in a plain doesn't work well, I noticed Image
I need an effectdevice, that I can take in my steelcase, or handbag, and go direct out to the main board, and I can hear myself trough the monitor. It should be a replacement for my GP 100.
Would that POD, kidney thing , or the Behringer copy of it do the job? Or a Pandora? I need to go direct, have had enough experiences on keyboard amps or marshall stacks... esspecially in the eastblock or spain the stages are not provided with good amps, and all the overweightcosts, brr...
Please, some advises,
thanks, JJ

Well, you've got a bunch of choices out
there these days: Johnson J Station,
Yamaha DG Stomp, the new Boss unit,
& Digitech has one also.
It's just a case of which
can handle the "hotter" steel signal the
best without breaking up. The POD will
work, but according to Jeff Petersen, you
have to access the settings inside the
thing (thru midi, I guess) to decrease the
gain on the input in order to clean up the sound a little.
