Thomann.de Multi Fx Review Options

[Todd Simpson]

The guys from THOMANN try out the current crop of mid range floor units including units from Line 6, Headrush and my fave the Ampero, and the Harley Benton which I'd not heard before.

I have to agree with the reviewers. The Ampero can sound amazing and has the best editing interface of any of them, but the stock presets are TERRIBLE. I mean, awful. The high gain presets are muddy and dark and just bad. It's odd that they have such bad presets given how good it can sound. I didn't know Benton had jumped in to this market til this vid.

Which one do you like?

Thomann's Harley Benton brand one is probably a rebadged Joyo or similar chinese multifx They did that with the pedals they sell

I wouldn't be shocked if the benton pedal was a chinese rebrand It does have a NUX vibe to it. Looks a bit cheap. Still, for the price it does have a lot of functionality. It's not my fave in terms of tone though.

Out of those I've only tried the Ampero. Great piece of kit. Will hopefully be getting to play around with the Headrush and the Pod Go in the next couple of weeks.

I LOVE the Ampero beyond words as you probably know still my pick for multi units under $400. Also there is a 3 button version for $300, which is just unbeatable imho.

I still want to try the Headrush pedalboard. I don't know why that speaks to me more than any of the other brands. Maybe just something I've gotten into my head. The big pedalboard from Headrush is about 1000 USD, but I think the big Helix one can be near double that, and I don't think I can justify that. I think about 1000 is my limit. Of course I'd like to go all out for a Axe FX III or something, but that's about 3100 USD here.

Im very tempted by it also for the reason that it's the descendant of the 11 rack which I loved. Few mult fx can get the tone I'm looking for. I'm sooo picky on high stuff. The 11 and now Head Rush can pull it off. Also, my presets from the 11 rack can load in the headrush!!

I found that out in the 11 rack facebook group. I shared my 11 rack presets and someone loaded them in a Headrush. It just allows for two signal paths and more flexibility in the rush unit. I love the big touch display as well. Last I checked they didn't have a software editor which is the only knock against it.
