Hi There!
I need an advice from you guys!
i wanna buy an effect processor but dont know which one
The Pioneer EFX 500 or A Korg effect processor!

efx 500 or course no question about it top unit on the market

EFX 1000 due out in about a fortnight much better than the old 500 too :-
The new EFX-1000 effector offers discerning DJs the best audio quality possible with a 24-bit/96kHz digital-sampling system and 32-bit digital sound processing. The bypass function of the EFX-1000 enables the user to process the effects with their original high sound quality. Any serious club or studio DJ will immediately hear the impact of the increased processing power, which results in better audio quality in their mix. Pioneer’s EFX-1000 builds on the unique features in previous effectors by including a wide range of sound effects in an easy-to-manipulate system.

The EFX-1000 offers more than the usual range of sound effects, including: Delay, Echo, Pitch Echo, Trans, Flanger, Filter and Phaser. For the first time in the industry, this product enables the DJ to beat match in sync with a pre-programmed rhythm. Alternately, the EFX-1000 will measure beats per minute and beat match in sync with the tempo of the music. The user can select multiple frequency ranges (High, Mid, Low), vastly improving the musical expression compared with existing full-range effectors.

The large, easy-to-manipulate Digital Jog Break lets the user control sound effects including: Jet, Wah, Phase, Shifter Ring, Zip, Humanizer and Vocoder. The DJ can set a hold switch to maintain the sound effect, freeing up a hand. The Jog Memory Play memorizes and reproduces the dial’s movements either once or in a continuous loop. The balance of the effects as well as the depth of the original sound can also be modified.

”With its impressive range of powerful effects and features, the EFX-1000 gives DJs even more scope for creativity in their sets and studio work,” said Karl Detken, director of product planning for the Pro Audio group of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “The enhanced audio quality is particularly critical for the studio market as well as for those performers who can only have their name associated with the best.”

The EFX-1000 offers a range of other features, including:

- Depth Knob to adjust the strength and depth of effects.
- Character Knob to change the parameter of the effects.
- Mix Knob to change the balance of the original sound and effected sound.
- Signal Flow Switch to change the signal path of the sound. This allows the DJ to create 49 patterns of effects in combination with the Beat Effect and Digital Jog Break.

- A Bypass Switch will directly output the input sound without other effects.

Best effect box on the market IMO is the TC Electronic FireworX

so your saying that the pioneer is way better,
but the korg es1 has the ability of a beatbox aswell.
i dont know, really
the pioneer efx 500, i worked with it and i know tht its good, but i dont know about the other one.

If I were you i'd get the nw efx1000 when it comes out if you up on your music tech get the Fireworx!

if you can afford efx 1000 yes but if you dont want to pay 1000 bucks efx 500 still way to go bottom line

thta efx 1000 costs alot.
and i dont think its worth that money,its pretty much the same as the efx 500.
but still i dont know,everyone is writing abut the pioneer, and nobody about the korg stuff so i really dont know.

ok ive dicided that im gonna get the EFX500
Thanx for your opinions guys!

A friend just has fallen in love with a Kaoss pad 2.
He said that its much better than a pio efx.
Hmm...
