Guitar multi effects for synthesizer

[Trancer]

Does using a guitar multi-effect make sense for synthesizers?

I mean by that, does it have a sense of use?

Is the sound quality as good?

I already have two Strymon, but I was wondering.

The advantage of a multi effects is all in one (Delay, reveb, chorus, flanger, phaser distortion / overdrive, etc.).

If I had to buy each pedal separately, quickly unmanageable on a mixer and especially the implementation in it (inputs / management).

On the other hand, it would take a multi effects with a lot of blocks for chaining.

I was thinking, for example, of the Boss GT 1000 Core.

What do you think ?

No experience with Boss GT but I do use TC Electronic Plethora x3 in my DAW and hardware synths setup

[Trancer]

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, no distortion / overdrive except error on my part.

[Goony]

I’m not fan of distortion/overdrive hence why I chose plethora x3

Check out the new Eventide H90.
Perfect for use with synths like the Prophet 10 or OB-X8 (which have zero onboard effects/processing).

[Jim Roseberry]

Depending on your DAW setup (and audio interface), you could also use something like the Eventide H9 plugins.

With Delay, Reverb, and Modulation based effects:
You can monitor the direct signal via hardware (near zero latency)... and enable software based monitoring (100% wet) for Delay, Reverb, Modulation. The small bit of latency (wet signal) is like adding a little pre-delay to the reverb (not distracting).

Thank you for your feedback and reviews.
I move further and further away from the computer and go through a dawless solution.
I just bought Presonus studiolive 32 SX.
I have two Strymon (Bigsky and TimeLine).

I thought I would take an Analog Heat mk2.

But if I have to take each pedal individually for each effect, it's not going to be great.

The why, I am interested in a multi effects.

The H90, but it can only use two effects simultaneously.

I would like a machine where I can use at least four effects at the same time.

With a dsp where I will have the margin compared to the chaining of the blocks.

Only two effects? It was all I had while mixing all sorts of bands live, it was enough for a huge fat sound.

And your mixer already has four.

The multi-fx unit I bought 20 years ago (Art DMV Pro) has 4 mono or 2 stereo processors in a single rack unit. Buy a bunch if you have to. If you're smart, you buy different ones with different possibilities. Some months apart each, so you learn each inside out beyond flipping some presets.

there's a zoom one, can't remember the name, but gets a lot of mentions with regards to synths.

[vurt]

that said, id at least want my dirt pedals to be analogue.
digital imo still hasn't quite got there for distortion/fuzz/overdrive

[Trancer]

Thank you for your feedback and reviews.

Why I wanted to take the Analog Heat mk2 for distortion is analog.

A multi effects for (Flanger, Phaser, Chorus, etc...).

The Zoom is the MS 70 CDR model.

Delay, Reverb I already have in Strymon.

But indeed, often used for synthesizers.

You might look at Line-6 HX-Effects
Neural DSP Quad Cortex is $1850... but offers a lot of processing power in a small form-factor.

Thank you for your reply.

Indeed the line 6 fx is a solution to take into account.

The Quad Cortex not bad, but a fairly high price anyway.

For this amount of money, not another multi effects?

Zoia, I don't know.

I'm going to go check it out on the internet.

was racking my brains trying to remember the name!!!
