ZOOM 3000 multi fx, gig-able?

[colski]

I have just inherited one of these and have been messing with it all morning. I do gigs all the time, but am not a big effects man, just wahwah when needed and a Tubescreamer for distortion, so I am actually quite impressed with this little number.
My question is though, is it gig-able? I've always assumed you get a lot of hiss with these things when you play them loud. Should I realistically just be using it in the studio?
Cheers...

Not au fait with the Zoom, I'm afraid. If it is the Korg AX3000G, definitely giggable if you have the editing down.

I used to use one back in the old days, with a crappy 100W homebrew/Maplin amp and a DIY 2x12" cab with Celestions - sounded pretty damn good to my 20yr old self, and was stupidly versatile. I particularly liked the fact that you could get decent reverse-reverb type effects using the compressor (a la "History" by Cast), along with all the other great stuff you can do with them. A much underrated multi-FX unit, if you ask me.
