Rocktron Replifex.
It`s designed for guitar. Lots of useful vintage style effects like phasers,choruses and compressors, in addition to verbs and delays.
Only the wet signal passes through converters. Sounds great.
Discontinued, of course Sad

TC Electronics M-One.
Everything you could possibly want in an effects unit, and sounds good too.
Gets the job done.

Lexicon MPX1. One of the harder units to learn, but it sounds fantastic.

OK....other than pedal effects I have a bunch of GP-100 processors. I don't care for the preamp in this unit but the reverbs and delays are very nice. It's nuts that a device has 400 effects and I like two or three.

I must admit if you put a Black Box in front of the unit the preamp is very nice but I use the GP-100 for the the effects with a Revelation preamp and it has beatiful sound.

My 2 cents!

Peavey Tube Sweetener (12AY7's in front, 12AX7 in back), Early model Furman PQ-3 and TC Electronic M300 (delay & reverb). These 3 effects = tube warmth, tone tweak and depth (all warm and fat).

TC M300/M350 -- as well as presets you can also adjust it on the fly -- works perfectly for my 2 racks systems, one is the new Telonics Pre1000, the other my Revelation Pre. These units are very versatile and reasonably priced 2nd hand here on the forum.

I have a Peavey Delta Fex and have it set for the
split effect. The rever & delay, I have adjusted
them to the point that I get delay, reverb, and a
slap back echo also. Now I also have the stock
reverb, on my Nashvill 400 maxed out, that may
also help me there. I love it, sounds to great
and most people, not all, that hear it like it
also. Just a twist of the wet knob and I can
increase the slap back or decrease it. That is
the only effects I have.

I don't use a rack any longer. With my Fox tube amp and Standel Custom 15, I use the TC Electronic Nova System. I wanted the G System but, at $1500 with more patching capabilities than I really needed, I went with the slightly scaled down Nova. For less than $500 you get the quality that TC is famous for (24 bit A/D and D/A on all the digital stuff and true analog distortion) it gives me ALMOST everything I need. I'm currently using a Tube Rotosphere for Leslie fx and a Boss 10-band graphic for reso simulation. TC has the best sound quality of all the multi-fx I have owned.

Another series of units I've gotten great results from is the Boss GT-series of multi-fx. I have a GT-6 and a GT-8 and still use both on occasion. I also have a Digitech 2112 which served me well for many years.

TC Electronic M-300. It's a knob spinner and easy to use on the fly; no wall wart and no need to be a computer genius. It has 2 seperate processors in one rack. Easy to preset. I've tried the M-350, but preferred the 300. Tried the Lexicon 200, sounded too processed/studio like for me.

Best wishes . . . . . . .
