What would you recommend and what exactly does your G Force or whatever it is called do? Is that for effects and live sound or should I be looking at something else? I have a Marshall JCM800 amp and use a Boss MetalZone pedal and a Korg tuner pedal and that is it. We're doing a lot of covers also in our cover band and Judas Priest tribute band so could really do with the help.

You can use it as a FX Loop device if your amp has FX loop send and returns. If not,just put is after your dist pedal and before amp. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It gets "activated" by receiving signal. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I have about 500 pound to spend at minute Anything else you can recommend for improving sound as they are a bit on the expensive side. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If yes,then go for G-Major,I believe you can get it for 500 pounds. And if you wanna improve both you main sound AND effects, nice unit would be Rocktron Voodoo.

I'm not really happy with much lol to be honest. I guess I'm alright with the clean and driven sounds. For clean I'm buying an acoustic amp as my Parker has a Piezo and can plug into an electric amp and an acoustic amp at the same time so I will be doing that but I want an easy to carry unit with lots of different effects that can be used simultaneously without having to buy god knows how many pedals and batteries.

I used it for many years,it has pretty good tube preamp section and cool sounding effects. Only problem is,you amp already has preamp section... Does it have preamp-in?

Not a clue And I can't check because amp is 200 miles from me I'm borrowing an amp at the minute. I'm buying a Fender '65 Twin Reverb when I get the cash. I will look into the Voodoo and see if it is for me. And thanks also as the pick came through today so I will look after it You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
