Hi guys,
I already own an ME-20 which is great. I'm going the all tube route for my amp and I was wondering which pedal should I get, between the ME-50 and GT series?
I want to upgrade the ME-20 to one of those, basically because I much prefer the In-your-face type of interface, it just seems much more easier to use on both pedals.
If anyone could also point out the general differences between the two, it would be much helpful!
Thanks in advance,
Chris |

| For the in-your-face interface, I take that to mean the ME series as opposed to the menu-buried structure in the GTs. |

| What I mean by that is that the interface on ME-20 is not very user friendly. So if you modify something and didn't take a note of the value, if you turn the knob and can't remember the value it used to be at, your basically screwed... On the ME-50, it looks like every effects has it's own knob so it's easy to see what you changed. |

I have ditched all my pedals for a GT8.
I don't regret it. |

I sold my GT-8 to buy a bunch of pedals. I love all my pedals, but I do miss the GT-8...it is an INCREDIBLE pedal. I would definately go with the GT-8 (or 10...honestly though, the 8 had more things than I could even dream to use, and you could find it for 250 used easily) over the ME series because of the "banks." I loved being able to just set all my sounds to a bank and then if I needed another set of sounds I could just go up to the next bank and save a bunch of new ones and then you start to build a library of banks and eventually you get to the point where you don't have to tweak anymore. W/ the ME series you have to tweak every time you want something new. Plus, the "solo" switch on the GT-8 (you push the expression pedal and it boosts your effect for solos....totally tweakable) was AMAZINGLY helpful...the ME-50 doesn't have that. Finally, the GT series has 4 patches/stomps plus a control switch that you can throw on each patch so you can end up with 8 different sounding patches (plus the solo switch on the expression pedal so 9) on one bank setting...probably more than you'll ever need on any given song.
I've got more reasons, but I've already written a book...if you need more info just holler...
One more thing...The GT-8 is great for the "frontman/lead guitar player" like myself because you can basically layer up your patches so you just have to hit one switch to go from verse to chorus OD's and then hit one more switch to go to a lead...w/ my pedal board, it can get complicated if I am singing on a chorus and have to kick on an OD, a distortion, an EQ, and a compressor in 1 beat...thats the main reason I miss my GT-8 (but I'm getting good at the pedalboard thing).
PEACE! |

Thanks everyone for your answers. I will definately look into getting a GT series. It won't be a GT-10, too expensive but I'm definately eyeing a GT-8 or Gt-6 (would prefer the GT-8 tho).
Thanks again!
