Budget, quality Programmble Multi-FX pedal
Hey guys, I'm looking to get hold of a programmable FX pedal that will allow me to run Delay/Chorus/Reverb simultaneously off one click of a button etc. Also wouldn't mind a built in Tuner/ EQ or clean boost and maybe a noise suppressor. Anyone got any recommendations for (used) under 50 pounds or $100-ish? Thanks! Obviously like a Boss GT-8 etc but this is probably too complex (and too expensive) for my needs. James

Eh... I don't know if it's quality, but the Ibanez Tonelok series have a pedal that has delay/chorus/reverb I think. But I hear they're built cheaply.
Save a little more and pick up a 2nd hand Boss GT-6 or GT3 for 100 bones(200$USD).

Hmm, I'll check it out. I've looked at the Boss and minimum price is over 150 pounds, which I really can't warrant for essentially three FX. Also forgot to mention that I need to be able to run it without having to select a dodgy Distortion effect too. Oh and maybe a decent Bypass? Any experience with the Korg AX10G?

Actually I've been looking at the GT-3, which doesn't seem to command the premium that the 6-8 does. It seems pretty perfect and also means that I don't have to worry about a Backup amp now that I've switched to valves. Only thing is how much would it colour my tone, i.e. can I literally just run chorus/Delay/reverb without a dodgy 'clean' tone as well, as this would be annoying then running into an OD channel, would it not? Plus it has a built in tuner+ volume pedal for boosting my solo volume.

Well the 4 cable hook up method turns the GT-6 into your preamp, so of course its going to color the tone.

If you realy need only 3 or so effects, just get single stomp boxes.

+1. Start off with a Boss DD-3 and a Rocktron Chorus(will cost you around that much). Later on nab a good reverb pedal or rack unit.

I did some research, because I like single effects and here is what I suggest you to buy:
Line 6 Verbzilla Reverb
Line DL4 Delay modeler/ Boss DD20
Boss CH5
A bit expensive, but great effects. Boss DD3 and 5 are nothing special, better save up and buy what I've mentioned up in the post.

Actually now that he mentions it, the Boss DD-20 would take care of all of your effects. It has a reverb and a chorus delay and if you turn the delay time all the way down, you get just reverb or just chorus.

Thanks for the responses. Thing is its actually about 5 pedals I need (tuner/ chorus/ reverb/ EQ and Noise Suppressor- I already have a delay) so thats a lot of cash for singles. I've pretty much decided on the Boss ME-50 as it has it all and its simply laid out. For 150 pounds its going to do the jobs well enough for me I think, especially after reading the reviews on HC.
