who do you think is the best manufacturer of this effects? not really good on this one but the one i always heard was AKAI what about you guys?

I haven't tried any of the newer mulit-effects boards, but I must admit I always liked some of the retro stomp boxes like the MXR phase shifter and the Ibanez Tube Screamer.

I still have a Big Muff that I haven't plugged in in a long time.

I think that Electro-Harmonix, Moog, and Eventide are a head and shoulders above the rest for sure. When it comes to bass, I haven't found a distortion pedal that can match the tone from EBS' Multi-Drive. Their other pedals in the Black Label series are pretty rediculous too.

AKAI? I don't know about that. But if you're looking for a good manufacturer then I suggest you look for Moog.

hi nak..thanks for the suggestion i m going to check it out..have you tried this one too?
