Looking for a cheap bass guitar Multi Effects (under $250AUD) for some synth work and or just dicking around with sounds. Basically I can see the Behringer BASS V-AMP, Digitech BP50, Zoom B2. Any of them particularly good/junk or should I hold out longer and get a Roland ME20b or something.

Well, found out I could buy EHX pedals from the states at a third of what we pay for them here, so I now have a Bass Big Muff in the mail.

Don't they ship with US-style power adapters, which may need a transformer?

I made the mistake of buying a Jam Man loop pedal via the US eBay a little while ago. To use it I need a chunky transformer; none of the local electronics shops stock Australian-style AC adapters with anything resembling the correct voltage/amperage of the Jam Man.

Well, it can apparently run off a 9v battery, so should be alright, if not, I'll get something to work

If that's the case then it might work using the Boss style adapters that 90% of pedals use. I thought EHX pedals tended to have wacky 13.75V AC adapters that you couldn't replicate with something else, but I guess I was wrong. In fact my Holy Grail uses the Boss style adapter so I should've known better!

What US site did you order from? I'm pretty keen to get some myself if they're that cheap vs. local stores.

I got it from a USA Ebay store, hadve them for around $70USD (Payed $90 Australian + $20 shipping) so $110 versus the $270 or so my local music store wanted for one.
