RP100 or Genesis2

If you had to replace your QuadraVerb (assuming you have one), would you replace it with a RP100 or a Genesis 3? I will soon have to replace my
Quad.

Sorry, the subject should have read, "RP100 or Genesis 3" -- Not Genesis 2.[This message was edited by Leroy Riggs on 02 September 2003 at 06:21 PM.]

I think the Genesis 3 has newer, more advanced circuitry than the RP100 - I guess it would be a question of how important is the footswitch vs. desktop feature. If I read the blurbs right, the Genesis lets you blend a percentage of the processed tones with a clean tone, which is the best way to avoid that "now he switched on the fuzztone" rude awakening sound IMO. I'm saving my pennies for a GNX3, for the recording capabilities, but by the time I have the $400 set aside they'll probably have something new out....

Buddy E. borrowed someone's Genesis 3 for his set in St Louis so I guess that says a lot about it quality. I think I will look at it seriously. The are on sale for $150 here:

We'll see.

Buddy did use the Genesis 3, and in conversation said it was one of the best processors he's ever used.

Was he using the table model as shown in the above line?

Also. was he using any other device in series with the Genesis?[This message was edited by Leroy Riggs on 03 September 2003 at 10:18 AM.]
