[Harp-L] Re:Effects Pedals: Any experience w. Boss Rotary or

["Steve Russonello" <nellos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Richard, I would like to check out the Digitech, and run a comparison... the motivation with the Boss and the Eventide is that I have an opportunity to purchase at a good price, but had never seen them mentioned in the effects forums. Haven't really seen many players, guitar or harmonica, using Digitech in Australia.

As for clips, haven't really gotten it together for the bands to video record( or with Big Erle not even record- been with them a year and no uploaded material on site!), and if I were to, I would want it to be worthy and illuminating, criteria that seem to be lacking in about 95% of clips these days, given the ease of uploading to the world. However, if I can add to the collective pot with whatever I end up using, I promise I will get a clip together for it. In the meantime, will make sure I keep the discovery path live and fun. Thanks for your generosity.  

Cheers,

Steve Russonello

You've read my posts, so you know what I think.  For the Leslie sound in particular, I urge you to consider a Digitech RP pedal, because a) the rotary sound is quite convincing and b) you get so much more for the money with it.  Check out "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It takes a train to Cry" at http://hunterharp.com, and tell me whether the leslie emulation on that recording doesn't make the grade.

You're obviously looking at high-end gear, and nobody ever regretted buying an Eventide processor, so have fun and make sure to post some clips!

Check harmony-central.com for user comments on the Boss pedal.
