So I'm falling into the effects pedal rabbit hole!
It's winter time so what else is one to do with their indoor time. I've been spending some time on the Acoustic Guitar Forum and elsewhere to do research.
I'm playing a Godin Mulituke through a Fishman Loudbox mini
I already have a ZoomG1X Four and I followed the thread on the Zoom A1.
I do like the G1X at it's price point and it has a ton of features. I do like some of the modeling features and I have been changing settings to see what I like. I have found the Zoom Guitar Lab interface to be problematic at best. ( I read where it might help if I delete and redownload the software?) I have ToneLib-Zoom as well and have found this interface to be seamless and will continue to use it.
I find the G1X is just a little too much fiddling around at times though--more than I want to.
So I recently picked up an Electro Harmoix Turnip Greens dual pedal. It has a Soul Food distortion and a Holy Grail Max reverb. I like it. Simple and easy to dial in the sound I want. I can dial up some loud rock and roll or dial in just a little distortion as needed. I like the analog sound better over the digital sound of the G1X. I can also add other pedals as wanted or needed. (My son plays electric guitar and has a few pedals so we can mix-match-share.)
So the question of the day:
Does anyone have experience with the ZOOM AC 3 Acoustic Creator?
Experiences?? Good?? Bad?? Insights??
I know there are likely better machines out there-several I've looked at. But price is a consideration. A certain amount of simplicity and dial in capabilities I'm looking for. I'm not really interested in programing in a bunch of patches--modeling--effects. I'm aware that it does not have some features but does have the ability to combine with other pedals.
I want to be able to dial in the acoustic side of life as well as have fun with blues-rock n roll and so forth.
Thanks for the feedback--shared experiences--insights!
