GUITAR BOARD

Last night when I got to my gig, I opened my gigbag to find that my old
Boss ME6 effects pedal wasnt there. (Found it at 1:00am under the
dining table). Not a problem, I have plan B - an old Zoom 505 in a side
pocket of the bag, so I plugged in and got a horrible hissy crackly mess
- so the Zoom wasnt any good. Plan C? Just me, my guitar, (A Cort
koreacaster with Mighty Mite pickups) into my amp (Laney VC30 bought
with advice from this group). And it wasnt too shabby a sound, either
(cant comment on the playing, of course!)
But there are some FX Id like to have. Obviously, I dont need amp
modelling - Laney VC30, remember! - but need the usual things, chorus,
delay, compressor, Id like a decent rotary sound and also
tremelo/vibrato - you know, wobbly wobbly. I play blues - mainly, but
not only, rhythm - in fact more lead as gigs progress. I also play slide
on about 3 or 4 numbers, depending on the set list.

I never managed to get into programming patches on my Boss ME6, or even
use them (found switching too complicated), rather I use it in manula
mode and switch effects on and off as required. Im prepared, though, to
embrace the digital age, provided my brain wont hurt too much, and
consider a pedal with easily selectable and easily modified patches, or
good patches that i dont need to change. Ideas, please.
cheers
Gary
