Fantastic looking. I also have Gretsch GAS on a regular basis, I love the look of the hollow bodied and the Bigsby, even though I don't use vibratos usually. But I also just play for my own amusement so try to content myself with the numerous guitars I already have. In fact, I have enough parts to probably make another 2 or 3 complete instruments, so that should keep me busy. My wife says I tinker with them more than I actually play them these days.

Zombie thread time . The Gretsch GAS welled up again to almost unbearable proportions, but I reined myself in, realising that I’m only playing to please myself at the moment and the Casino Coupé is a more than capable guitar. Since the OP, I have fitted new pickups, changed the knobs and made a couple of other aesthetic changes. However, just like the factory fitted Bigsbys on other guitars, with the same break angle over the bridge, tuning stability is questionable. In order to keep the GAS at bay and address this tuning shortcoming, I bought a drop in replacement, roller bridge. Why, oh why did I not do this at the get go? I can attack the Bigsby without fear of a discordant result on return to the resting position. The cost of this miraculous upgrade, less than £22, including delivery. Happy days!

I'm no great shakes as a player but I always find multi FX fiddly. I have an rp55 which I use as a replacement for whatever pedal I'm missing when trying to get a sound. It works well enough for most things. Especially if it's for something you aren't going to use much. I also had a zoom g1 some years ago. Didn't have them at the same time so my comparison is from memory but I'd say the zoom was more to my liking. To second one of the other comments there are lots of cheap pedals that work surprisingly well. Caline,mosky and joyo all spring to mind. Shop around and you might fill the gap in your board for £20/30 . And I've just realised how old this thread is so you've probably solved your problem by now. But I've typed it now so I'm posting it!

A bit late to the party here but I have a Mooer Ocean Machine and it's a very nice bit of kit. Mooer seem to be lifting their game and price points but that means their cheaper pedals are built to the same standard as their expensive ones. So yeah, have a look at Mooer...and Joyo too.

Budget wise I love the boss me50. knobs to control everything, decent tone, built like a tank and battery powered if needed! £50 second hand if you get a good deal!

I am mainly a bassist and had a zoom BFX708 many years ago. I wouldn't use one now for gigging. I'm branching out in to electric guitar and notice zoom have come a long way these days. Would you say the G1Xon is credible for gigging? I've gone to individual pedals and then Boss for the multi, so out of touch with Zoom. Also noticed that mooer has some multi pedals out, are these up to much?

I've used a Zoom G1Xon for the last few years. Cheap as chips and does quite a lot.
