I'm a bit out of touch with the market and I'd prefer to keep my lovely old Demon amp than go for a confangled new one with gadgety stuff.

So:

Where do/would you get your pedals from?

How much is a good price?

Is it worth getting new ones or keeping my (ancient) ones which are broken and trying to get them fixed?

Thanks in Advance,
Clazon.

sorry, it is his own version, and we are trying to sell it so we can not reveal the plans, sorry.
Try this, plug your guitar into an amp, put a filter(for putting liquid into things) over the amp. Cover ir completely. Small amps work fine. On the end of the funnel attach a pipe, just bigger than the end and make sure it is sealed. put the tube in your mouth.
Have a microphone attached to an amp or PA system. When you strum the guitar move your mouth haveing in directly over the mic.
Make sure the guitar amp is up full blast.
If it fails try using a different type of tube.
Use silocone to seal the funnel over the pipe and the tube.

Bon Jovi use a talk box. I think that killed everyone's wish to ever be associated with the effect.

Computer effects blow. I tried Guitar Port and Guitar Rig and they were woeful.

Good floor-based multi-FX are a different story though. I have a Boss GT-6 and 90% of the effects are excellent. My only complaints are that some of the distortion/amp models sound a bit grainy but considering there's 45 altogether it's not that important, and the pitch shifting blows goats. But I have my Digitech Whammy for that so all is well.

Plus I get to use patches/banks. Pressing one button to change settings is a lot easier than tapdancing around a pedalboard.

I spent weeks trying out Amp Modelers and Multi-FX units. The V-Amp (like all Behringer stuff) was crap. It sounds far more artificial than Boss or Line 6. If you're trying to say that the V-Amp is anywhere near as good as the PodXT you are severely misguided. In fact, the V-Amp isn't even comparable to the Pod 2.0 for its amp modelling. The effects are about the same.

Exactly.

I'd prefer that my wah wah is fixed and I keep my nice strong amp over getting a stupid new one, which would require me to twiddle knobs in song.

v-amp is the best on the market olong eith the Line. A computer is great for recording unless you spend trhee grand on the best amp simulater softwear with every amp setting in the world with live updates every day. Plus subscription fee of i think £100 a year.
