Boss GT-001 vs Zoom A1 four vs Boss GX-1
I'm looking to buy a multi effects pedal for my clarinet pickup (quite unusual). I'm going to use it for live gigs like weddings.
Effects that I need it most for is EQ, Octaver, reverb/delay.
I know a clarinetist that plays with the GT 001 and his sound is quite good, however the availability for the gt 001 is pretty low and I also believe that technology has advanced since its release.
The other choice (that is vfm/cheap) is the zoom a1 four. I have recently found out about this pedal, it's made specifically for acoustic instruments (like sax, clarinet, acoustic guitar) and has some pre installed presets in it but I don't really care for the pre-available presets.
Google says that the octaver quality (which is one of the most important things that I need) is sometimes laggy, obviously because of the low price. It's a very cheap choice to start out maybe.
The third choice is the BOSS GX-1, a relatively new pedal, very compact and at a very good price. It has a wide list of effects and most importantly it is a boss pedal and has the boss pedal library. Google also says that it contains the octaver oc-2 effect which is very widely used and loved for clarinetists that use octaver.
What should I buy? Which is going to offer the best audio and effect quality for its price?
