Re: ALESIS INEKO



Title: Re: ALESIS INEKO
the alesis ineko is a fun little effects mangling tool for guitar (works
great w/ drum machines and keyboard also--actually probably better, since
it's a dj tool originally). at 69$  there is some useful stuff on there.
i mainly use it for the effects that aren't on most gtr fx boxes:
ring modulator, filter stuff, digital grainy fxs, lfo,  etc.
note: you can only use one effect at a time, and the matrix buttons move only in one direction, but it doesn't cost much.
if i were to compare it to the korg kaoss pad (1st ver) that i recently got:
i'd say the kaoss pad can do more serious mangling, but it also has a 5 sec
sampler in it, and was double the cost originally.
but the ineko is a great little tool to add to your arsenal if you like weird
effects.
if you're a gtr tube preamp tone purist who occasionally likes a little chorus
or delay here and there, i'd say :stay away!
s---




Been eyeing this one too, but more for soundmangling type of effects. Can anybody comment on its array of sound possibilities, flexibility, ease of use? Any guitarists using it in their Repeater FX send/return?
