Idk man, me personally, the distortion and OD sound alike, but I always turn the knobs on the pre-amp settings around to get a better tone. It's just the way you set things. This pedal is actually not bad at all.
personally i go with the multi effect like the me 70 because you dont have to worry about your effects loop signal with the small pedals
i recently got a new wah pedal and it sounds excatly the same as the wah on my me 50 just with a little more kick but only slightly. i think the compact pedals give u more free because with the me 50-70 you cant use two modulation pedals such chorus and tremelo
@jcoldham1 Actually you can use chorus and tremolo at the same time on the ME-70... Sort of. Pedal 4 has an effect called CHO + DELAY (Chorus + Delay). It's not the same effect as the chorus on pedal 3, but it works.
I get your point though, and you're right. If you need some exotic effect combination, this multifx is not always going to cut it. For more standard configurations it's fine.
@MrJackanthony The ME-70 has a fixed signal chain, so you have these "virtual" pedals in this order: wah, pedal 1, pedal 2, preamp/eq, noise filter, volume, pedal 3, pedal 4, reverb. You can't change it, you can just turn them on/off and change their parameters.
I don't have the GT-10, but from what I know, it's much more powerful than this. You can put the fx more or less wherever you want in the signal chain.
So yes, I think you can have chorus and tremolo on at the same time on the GT-10.
@Elefender Is it possible to make a patch and save it to the Me-70 memory with both chorus and tremolo? (or two or more effects in one pedal?) say.. Defretter, Slow Gear and Compression at the same time? (all found in the Comp/FX section). It's just an example and I'm not sure I would use it... but... Is it possible? thanks! =D
@miru021 No you can't: you can have only one effect on per pedal.
Still, BOSS did things in quite a smart way: you find chorus on both pedal 3 and 4 (on pedal 4 it's actually chorus + delay); same for delay. So you CAN have tremolo and chorus on at the same time, or you can have delay and the looper on at the same time.
No, sorry. Didn't want to show every single effect, just the ones I think are the most interesting. And the video is already deadly boring as it is! ;-)
I wanted to buy a RP500 myself, but my favorite shop didn't carry it. It shouldn't be too bad sounding: maybe you need to play around with it a little more?
I can't see myself doing a video using that OD anytime soon: I'm just not into that kind of music; if I tried to play it, it would probably sound ridiculous... My demo is much better this way, trust me. :) I'm sure you can find some very good demo of that effect posted by someone else.

guess the drives are better with pedals, tough its not my own judgement, cause i havent heard both.
I think most effects sound very good. And sure i wont be buying a chorus pedal if for the same money i can hve boss me 70:P
