It’s such a cool pedal, I’ve only had it for a day now but I’ve tried it on bass, guitar, keys, and even my electric oud. There’s so many neat sounds you can get out of it.
Ha sure. It's probably not really an oud by traditionalist standards, but I think it's hella cool ;-) I'm a mediocre guitar player, and am much more comfortable (and more adept) on a nylon string classical, probably because of the wider spacing for typical fingerstyle (and of course being a bass player). I got a killer deal on a B-stock Godin Multiac Grand Concert 7 string many years ago, and I absolutely love it (first pic). Several years later a Godin Multioud popped up on my eBay feed for a great price. I also have a sitar (not electric), so I was really intrigued (though I'm a mediocre sitar player at best). The multioud was damaged, hence the low price; cracks in the top of the body, preamp broken, what looked like a crack in the neck, and the hard case was badly damaged. After chatting with the seller I convinced myself that I could repair it all, so I bought it. Thankfully this roll of the dice proved fruitful as all the cracks weren't all the way through (I was able to prevent them from getting worse and do some mild refinishing) and after some back and forth with Godin support, I was able to replace all the necessary parts on the preamp. Perfectly working instrument for ~60% off!
Nice instruments- I have the nylon six string Multiac with the medium neck width-Ha sure.

It's a really neat instrument to play, kind of like a short scale nylon fretless with mostly coursed strings. There are so many different oud tunings, and most have a different tonal vibe to them, so it's been really cool for generating new ideas. It's also been fun to experiment with different picking a plucking types. You can play it fingerstyle, or with a risha (traditional oud pick), a mezrab (traditional sitar pick), or a regular pick...the instrument responds different to all of them. I guess you could say that about anything, but this thing just seems particularly versatile to me.

Both are highly recommended!
Yeah, I used to have a Boss GP-10, but I ended up selling it. I found that most of the sounds weren't very inspiring, and the tracking was no better than I can could already do via audio with some iPad apps. The string isolation was cool with the GP-10, but that's about it.
Agree. Not a fan at all.
