Do you have a budget in mind?

Due to having a low paid job at the moment around £50 is my top end.

it's a really difficult question to answer - there are no [i]must[/i] have effects as far as I'm concerned, it's just personal preference.
If you've got a POD already, am I right in thinking that has a selection of FX? If so, that should give you an idea on the sort of pedals you may be interested in...
Personally, I have never felt the need for a compressor or a preamp, but others swear by them, so it's really horses for courses here. Sorry, that's not really a recommendation is it!

If my plans work out the POD will be getting incorporated into my home recording set up.
