FX Pedals - what's good?

Kebabkid

If you want to play more guitar Mike, and from what I can see, you're pretty much covered with all your pedals, Julian's suggestion of the Digitech Trio or a Looper would be good and fun. How about some recording software to bring out your creative side?

Oh, go for an Eventide H9 and you'll probably not need look at another fx pedal for a lot more than 18 months.

Get a used H9 Max for c. £400 (or indeed a new one) and an expression pedal. You'll be making noises you didn't know were possible, and the app via Bluetooth makes tweaking and experimenting a breeze.

....or you'll get annoyed with the single-algo limitation and the need to use an app via touch screen and sell it after the honeymoon wears off

Or berate the lack of android app!
And why do I need another pedal to switch through my presets?

Still love the sounds though, wish I had bought one sooner

Well, there are algorithms with multiple effects in, where that makes sense

And

If you bought one when you really wanted a multifx unit, then yes, because you bought the wrong thing

you don't need another pedal to change presets. 

But if you do choose to add anywhere from a single to a triple external switch, you then have the ability to assign those 3-5 buttons to anything at all. something no other pedal does. 

The common theme with people flipping them quickly seems to be a complaint it doesn't work exactly the way the thing they originally wanted which does less works. imho.

Or sell it and then really wish you hadn't and pine for it every day.

Ahem.

WHAT? Come on, it's me, what did you expect?

you do need another pedal ideally. Yes I can press preset and hope for the best as I scroll the middle wheel button thing with my foot. I know the designated tap button does patch up by default etc but its a faff to go backwards. 

dont get me wrong I love my pedal and think it is brilliant but I do think it would benefit from being the same size as the factor pedals and having the knob layout

Well if you wish it was bigger with more footswitches, buy an additional external footswitch :-)
