Ik Multimedia X-Series pedals
I own both the X-Drive and X-Vibe and I love them both. In the past I've been wary about digital effects processors as I've had bad luck with other brands in the past and have since then stuck to keeping it old school and using analog pedals.
My wife gifted me the X-Drive and I was blown away by the tones and ease of use of the unit. Some of the pedal settings in the X-Drive I also own the real pedal version of, such as the Boss Super Overdrive and I gotta say, the modeled version in the X-Drive is just as good sounding, if not better than the real thing. There are a lot more parameters to really tweak and make the tones more unique and all your own.
I was so impressed with the X-Drive that when I saw the X-Vibe was on sale, I quickly ordered it. I've owned both for over a year now and they have not let me down.
I am not super great with computers and technology and I think that's where some of my frustration with other digital pedals/modelers came from because I don't like having to get super technical with my guitar rig. I just want to plug and play and even though these pedals can act as computer interfaces for recording and a bunch of other things, they are super easy to tweak and setup without being a computer whiz kid.
I like these pedals so much, that I plan on getting all of these series of pedals to overhaul my entire pedalboard with. Plus they look cool and snug up to eachother nice and cozy on a pedalboard and also offer midi capability if so desired.
