I mainly need something for amp simulation, distortion, compression and a noise gate. Could anyone please offer attributes on just these features?

You can make all of those happen with this pedal. But I feel it meant to give variety, not functionality. It's complicated. Almost too many options. It's useful to try the different effects. Then get pedals for what you'll use regularly

According to my experience the amp simulations offered by the G1N are enough to satisfy any taste. Distortion: all the kind and strengt you want, and a good noise gate and compression. It is an entry level Multi Effect but it is complete.

You can dial in those fx, though dialing them in on this is a bit more cumbersome with this pedal, it has a learning curve you have to get over to get the tones you want out of it.

The pedal offers all that you described above. It is customizable to your taste but I agree with the other review that it is too complicated. You might just consider buying separate pedals. But all in all if you mainly play distortion this one has a lot to offer.

Thank's, I don't have anything other than my bass, an old Boss bass effects board & my Fender combo amp. I was leaning towards the Mikro after watching some of the demos on NI's site, but obviously those guys really know there stuff ! As long as i can make a variety of beats to play along too (reggae, funk, rock, whatever by the sound of it ^^) I'll be happy !

yes, you are correct. it is awesome preamplifier, it is pretty small and easy to keep wherever u want, individual knobs gives u more n more sounds.

The manual is available here, so you can see if it has the information you're looking for. http://www.behringer.com/assets/LX1-X_P0209_M_EN.pdfIn my opinion, this effects setup has fewer features than it claims because many of the effects are amplifier output emulation, meaning is provides the gain characteristics of a give amp. So, while I like playing with the settings on mine, it's not quite the effects pedal I was originally expecting.

The last 3 answers are the best as it depends on a lot of things, preamp, crossover, power capabilities etc There are lots of other choices out there!

the clean channel sounds really good. I was happy with the distortion channel once I got the knack of dialing tones in. The amp is pretty loud alone. If you are using processor like Digitech or whatever, it really increases the volume. I no longer use this amp, it was just too loud for my needs, so I downsized to a 15 watt Marshall MG15CFX. I'll get around to reviewing that one of these days.

A bunch of flat models exist, and like 7545R, they sound bad. You are much better off using an external preamp/eq than cutting a big whole in your CBG as a means to ruin the sound. If you're looking to save money, try the Beringer Acoustic Modeler/DI -- it's a great ripoff of the acoustic Sansamp replaced by the para DI. But if you still want the onboard electronics try to find an Alverez System 600T MK II.

Dont use cheap distortion pedals like this. The real tone is already in your amp.

Highly recommend you get a MIDI interface. M-Audio makes a good one, the 2 X 2. I've had it for years and I've always been very happy with it.

Nope. You can use it as a stand-alone amp modeler if you want. However, if the person you want to give it to wants to use it with Pro Tools, they either need to already have their own license to the software or buy it...which is like $700. But you absolutely DO NOT need Pro Tools to get amp models out of it. However, whomever you're giving it to DOES need a power amp if they plan on using it in a live rig.

I used a stupid-cheap Boss 1100w amp. Had a billion great reviews. Sounds fantastic.

I have the Peavey Vypyr VIP and the Sanpera II footswitch. It has a great range of options, amp types, and voices. With the footswitch, you can control volume and it has a looper, which is really cool. With that said, it doesn't have a great deal of resources for how to use either of them. I have tried out the Mustang and it is incredible. Great instructions, easy to use software, and wow, the amps really sound as good as the amps it models. The "clean" is awesome. I cannot get a really good clean from the Peavey. Mustang wins for me, hands down! And you don't have to purchase the $200 footswitch to "unlock" it features.

I returned mine because of the sound quality - small tinny sound and had a buzz sound. For a more versatile amp look at the Roland cube street which has 2 inputs ¼"/XLR combo for hi quality mics and a ¼' for the guitar or another mic and has an array of settings on each channel. And it is battery operated also which makes it very handy for quick setups and practice. Check it out on YouTube.

Only if you want the audio to have all sorts of buzz and noise on it... For the cheapest available "acceptable" quality (for casual use) interface, I would suggest the Behringer UCA202. It's not great, but at least it's relatively clean-sounding, especially compared to this.

I say this is a high quality Digital-to-Analog Converter in general. So unleas your computer has an extremely good sound card, this amp will work amazingly with medium to extreme quality headphones

For flexibility, consider instead a Zoom MS-100BT. It's pricier (less so used), but lets you use a free iOS app to add from a big library of both bass- and guitar-oriented models. Most of the bass amp models are free add-on's, and other FX models are currently $2 each.

Without having personal knowledge of your Aune, based on what I've read of it, I'd be surprised if the Vali were to be a notable improvement (plus there's no DAC in the Vali). The Vali powers moderately, has a low but noticeable noise floor. It's been demoted in my home behind the Asgard 2 and Magni 2 because I don't hear a "tube improvement" and do sometimes hear the hiss (classical recordings usually). The Vali touted as an intro to tube amps, and if true, I'm a confirmed Solid State listener.
