Wow, old thread... My gear has definitely changed in the last 3 years.

wenders: You didn't ask me but I figured I would reply to this... I picked up a Boss ME-50 for my rig a year or two ago and it works and sounds a lot like the individual stomps. I'd recommend looking at the Boss units if you're still thinking about it, but only Boss. Very simple to use with solid construction and none of that ridiculous menu crap that a lot of multi-units (Digitech, Line 6, I'm looking at you) have. The expression pedal part of the Boss units is crap though, I still use my wah and volume pedals.

Right now my rig is like this:

Guitar --> Cry Baby --> Boss TU-2 tuner --> Boss CS-3 Compressor --> TS-9 Tube Screamer --> Proco Rat II --> Boss PS-2 Phaser --> Boss CE-5 Chorus - Boss PS-2 Pitch Shift/Delay --> Alesis Nanoverb --> Amp

It's a lot of effects, but there's very little noise and everything works well. I'm thinking of adding a flanger and maybe substituting a Small Stone for the PS-2. With that much invested I don't think I'm going to switch to a multi-effects unit, although I may pick one up (like a Pod) for recording directly into my computer.

If I think of it I'll post pictures of everything.

I play bass, sometimes I mess around with guitar when needed. I searched up another post with pics of all of my stuff:

I've added a G&L L-2500 since, and got rid of the KSD. I also am trying to find a nice 2x15 to add with the aguilar 8x10. My current pedal setup goes bass ---> boss TU2 -----> fender 300 head :) Its great not having to deal with pedals anymore.

I actually usually loathe effects and have never used them live, but my singer had this unit stashed with all of his gear in my jam space and I wanted to try it out. He's since forgotten about it and it's pretty much mine. I really only use it for lessons and it's great for switching between the different styles of music I have to teach. Other than that, I really don't have much use for it. As far as I can tell, it sounds alright.

Yeah, that's a nice chain, you don't need to add a multi-effects unit. I am a little surprised that you don't need a noise gate in there somewhere though.

ytrez - Your son must be a metal dude. :rock2:

It's surprisingly quiet, but that's probably because I use really study patch cables and all the effects I use are pretty solidly built.

Here's what it looks like:
