It's just me, but I would steer clear of effects processors, until you know a little more about what everything does. True, they have everything, but presets will teach you nothing about what a compressor does.

My power supply wouldn't work for my proc at a show once, and I only had an amp with spring reverb, and a compressor to get through the gig. If I only had presets, and knew nothing about effects, it wouldn't have turned out well.

I think you will be very happy with a CS-3 by Boss, if you want a proc in the future, get one. I Just want everyone to know there are other ways to get great tone, without tearing your hair out trying to set parameters. If you know how to use one, a proc can be great. It can also make you lazy in your playing, because it's a processed signal and doesn't pick up as much of the string noise. This can also be a drawback, when you want noise from the strings for other effects, such as harmonics or screaming bends.

Bottom line do what makes you happy now, and you can always upgrade later.
