Specific Multi FX

My current modulation only multi FX is a Source Audio Orbital Modulator. My only problem with it (bit of a killer though) is that it only has two total presets, though they're available at all times to access.

Basically I need something that has at least two available at one time, but can store multiple FX. I've looked at the TC electronic NM-1 (doesn't look like you can footswitch between banks or each effect) and Line 6 MM4 (according to multiple reviews, has bad volume fluctuation and footswitch issues). Unless I'm missing something with the NM-1, any other options? Remember, I'm looking for modulation-only multi FX (I already now about the Boss ME and digitech RP series).My budget is $200-300 New so I can be cheap and grab it for under $200 used.

You could try the Zoom MS-70 CDR. It can do 6 effects simultaneously and you can change patches on it using the switch on the pedal. However, within the 6 pedals you setup, you can only turn one of them on or off using the switch on the pedal. Take a look at some videos, you'll see what I mean.

Alternatively, you could go for the Zoom G3 or G5. They have individual switches to control individual effects but have distortion and amp models also, unlike the MS-70 CDR. The G3 can do 6 effects at once but you can only view 3 of them at once. The G5 can do 9 with 4 or 5 effects available to turn on or off at one time. All of them are within your price range.

Again, take a look at some videos. They will explain them a lot better than I have.
 
Re: Specific Multi FX

I need the ability to access at least 2 effects a t one time, so I'll leave the MS-70 cdr for now. G5 looks more like something I'd grab. How would you compare the G5 to the RP500 in terms of effect qualities?
 
Re: Specific Multi FX

I'm quite easily satisfied when it comes to effects. For example, a DS-1 is good enough for me, whereas others absolutely hate it. That being said, I prefer the G5 because of the visual interface. The effects on both work well enough for me. Hopefully someone else can give you a better answer.
