    I already suggested he use his current multi fx unit in the loop....pretty much the only comment he has ignored. Go figure.

        This is what I have been using of late. The pedal off screen to the right is a weeping demon wah. The other footswitch is for my Randall amp.

          What I was driving at was that for no money he could set up a usable rig where he could first determine his OD needs. He would still have all of the fx available to him and as his needs evolved it would become apparent what other pedals he needs.

          No argument here...I am NOT a fan of digital fx, and as such I don’t use them with my tube amps. but I am a fan of saving my money whenever possible especially when he is putting an initial board together.
          We all know how easy it is to way overspend on gear we seldom use.

            I don't really find that to be the case, unless it is either a cheap or old modeler.

                Ha - no offense intended. I have had multi-fx for years... but usually I just dialed in "Aussie Rock" and then played AC/DC. I never really dove into the different sounds/pedals/effects that made up that sound. SO, with my toe in the tube amp pool (which has gone horribly wrong so far!!) I wanted to build a pedal board and have some fun. The FX board I had did allow me to turn on/off different "pedals" but you could only do 3 at a time. The first switch was the amp simulator... then I think it was OD, Atmosphere stuff and then reverb. That was it... I want to be able to play around with different effects in different orders... and, yes, I know I could probably program the board to do all that - but it is a lot easier to move pedals on a board (for me, being fairly visual).

                And, I'm in a position where I can buy a few pedals and mess around.

                  Yes, point taken for sure!! I'm staying in the used/cheap effects arena for now

                    For fun, I started out with a few Behringer pedals from SW based on the JHS video. Just a few to get my feet wet.

                      Did you decide on an amp yet? I haven’t read the entire thread, so you may have already said so....?
                      Also what types of music are you playing. What times are you looking for?

                        I have an Egnater Tweaker head and cab... but the head isn’t working right so trying to get it repaired/working.

                        Rush, classic rock, zztop, blues, etc.

                          Rush means Chorus & Delay

                          Classic Rock, ZZ Top, and Blues at best means a spring reverb on 3

                              Isn't there an unwritten rule that all guitarists' first pedal must be a Boss of some type?

                                This whole idea of figuring out what you need instead of just buying shiny stuff is unacceptable in a guitar forum!
