Hi Mads, my main instrument for jazz these days is a Tucker Barrett EV-5 (5 string) made in the 90s, fitted with a Zeta Jazz pickup system. This pickup was sold by Zeta as the "RetroPak" but I don't think it's made any more.

The Tucker Barrett EV-5 is a really well made solid body violin, and can be seen at http://www.electricviolinshop……category=6

What I've learned about Zeta pickups is that they really sound like crap unless we do some serious signal processing.

I have been using 2 multi fx guitar processors, a Digitech RP350 and a Zoom 606. Thes boxes are extremely versatile, with tons of different fx at our disposal. But therein lies the problem for me, in having so many choices (and combinations of) to choose from.

I have managed to devise a few patches that I kind of like. But they are all basically just a combination of some reverb with a slight bit of chorous added. I'm looking for some patches that are much more original and interesting than that.

So my questions for you are this- Do you recommend using multi fx guitar processors?

And what FX (or combinations of) do you use to get the various tones that you do?

Thanks,

Mark
