What I really need is.....

[geoffbyrne]

The equivalent of an MXR-80+ with a built-in compressor and chorus (or maybe phaser). That would cover 99.99% of the stuff I do.

Suggestions?

sounds a bit multi-fx to me...

Obviously you are looking for a Multi unit, aside from ordering something custom (SFX would be a good bet), and although I would suggest you just to use single stomps, I myself use a M-80, Multi-Comp, Phaser and a Chorus together, perhaps you should look to the Zoom B2.1.

I'm all about single units though.

Hi Ahpook, Yes, though you'd need to go for the X3 versions to be able to mix in the all important dry bass as per the M80.

I use an M80 myself - I've modified mine so that it lives in my live rack all the time and I have it controlled by my MIDI effects unit. Having said that, most of the time I use it the same as the OP.. AND I have fallen in love with 'going stereo' again with a luscious chorus! OH dear!!!

Speaking of SFX - I think that'd be a great idea to have a custom built unit. I've said it before and I'll say it again - One day, I'll order something very cool from Max. Every time he displays a new item my wallet winces at my glee!

ha ha ha!! love it!

OK, to do it in singles, I'm assuming a compressor in front of the MXR-80+ and a bass-friendly chorus after it, but still before the MXR (otherwise no chorus on the DI).

So what's an affordable (I'm retired!) decent compressor & a suitable chorus?
