Great thread Kent,
The Boss VF-1 multi-effect unit is great low budget tool.
i use it when recording demo's at home, or just for play guitar myself.
for good result i suggest using it with a tube pre in front of it like a TLA - Fat1 or 2.
it warm's up the signal very nice before going digital. The Hi-Z instrument jack on the front panel i don't realy like that much, it very sensitive.
Kent did you used it on studio monitors or with a guitar amp (speakers)?
Grtz and Low On !!!
