Caspian:
got a digitech reverb pedal. It's not the most subtle or warm thing ever but it does the whole "playing in a really massive cathedral" thing rather well, and with my space echo added in the FX chain it's pretty much the best sounding thing ever.

Dear Guitar Pedal Thread,

I give you the Phaseur Fleur by 4MS pedals.  You may note the crazy space sounds and crazy tremolo-esque awesomeness at the end of the demo.

I guess the overall gist of this post is: OMGWANTWANTWANTWANT

Love,
Matt

So back in March or April or so, I bought a EHX H.O.G., but then developed car problems and had to return it.  :-(
To think that if my engine hadn't spontaneously exploded (the mechanic told me he found piston bits in the underneath-pan-thingy), I'd still have it today. It was fun to mess around with.
In any case, last month I bought a Digitech RP-90 multi-effects pedal. Given that I've been playing for less than a year and know near nothing about guitar effects, this is probably best (experimentation and all that). For one thing, I've found that, as retarded as this may sound, I prefer the tone of a simulated acoustic to that of a real one. At least, I prefer my Squier Strat as a simulated acoustic to my Dad's particular Taylor acoustic. I dunno. It does seem likely I'm not getting all the subtlety I would with a real steel string, but I'm surprised at the subtlety I am getting.
Not that any of you guys care, or even should. This thread is rightly more about good guitar pedals. I guess what I'm saying is that, at my experience level, a multi-effects pedal is a good pedal. Or is this a more widely shared sentiment than I'm lead to believe?
Okay, two major downsides to the rp90: you can't change all the settings you'd be able to on a dedicated 'unipedal,' and none of the pitch shifting effects are polyphonic. Even if I like the tone I get, that's enough to motivate me to get better stuff.
I'm going to shut up now.

I still have an RP100. My wife (bassist) uses it for the clickity-click built in drum thing to practice scales. When I first got it I found some cool tones for recording. But then I turned a knob and lost that forever. The tuner didn't work worth a f3ck after about the first week. The drum sounds speed up/slow down randomly. And when you find a bitchin' sound and then want to change to another patch you have about a second gap before the next patch sounds. That would be my biggest complaint. But if you are doing tracking sans amplifier it saves you some trouble with microphones, phasing etc...

So I am now pretty much in love with this thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJPde-C28iU.

I played it at guitar center today. I must have it.
