    How do you control the effects in a guitar rack?

    Why?

    Because I love effects and experimenting with different sounds. I find it more fun than just using the gain on a tube amp.

    I can understand that. Just why an ME-50 and an effects rack? It doesn't make sense.

    The more effects, the merrier.:D

    Which do you think would be better? I've played the ME-50 a few times and I think I'm in love, but I've heard racks are great for effects whores like myself.:)

    Ever heard the term "Less is more"? ;)

    Yes, rackmount stuff like a G Major would be far superior to something like an ME-50, but getting both? They'll both be doing the same thing, except one of them will be doing it a lot better than the other. Getting both would be an excersise in pointlessness.

    In fairness, neither are some people's lives. :p

    Now the G-System on the other hand. Yeeps!

    €400 ain't that much for what you're getting.

    Certainly not, I'm just saying that killing someone for something doesn't get you as much as it used to, the market it kinda flooded at the moment. You need to kill a lot more people to stay afloat these days. :D
