my peavey XXX super 40 efx has built in effects that actually sound really good. so, the only real pedals I would need would be wah, delay (it has one, but I want more control over the parameters), and maybe chorus (again, for the parameters) if I want a tremolo, phaser, flanger... it's all there, and doesn't sound half bad. of course, I never use any of those. an overdrive pedal for volume/gain boosts wouldn't be bad either too.. hmm..
