I am looking for some advice. I have a Hot Rod Deluxe and am in search of a decent rack effects processor. I learned that I need one without a pre-amp built in since it will create and overload but can't seem to find any info on suitable effects units to use with a combo amp.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

Most stand alone rack effects units will plug into the power amp in on the HRD and the guitar will plug into the rack unit's guitar input, bypassing the HRD's preamp.

Thanks! Any suggestions on decent effects processors that work well the HRD? I don't want to spend a fortune.

Check Sweetwater, Musician's Friend/Guitar Center, Pro Guitar Shop, etc. I don't use rack effects and have no experience with them.

What kind of effects are you looking for?

What to you isn't spending a fortune?

Is this just for your guitar, or will it do double duty for other things in a studio?

What are you hoping to get out of a rackmount effects processor vs. stompbox versions?

Asking as the more information you can provide, the better quality responses you'll get.

Thanks for the note. I am basically looking for a processor with basic effects, compression, distortion, chorus, reverb instead of patching a ton of stompboxes. The processor may do some double duty in a home recording studio for other instruments to add color.

I don't want to get carried away with a ton of U2 Edge type of effects. Something basic that I can pick up used in the 300-400 dollar range would suit me fine.

Again, just getting started here so you input is much appreciated.

Thanks!
