I am also new in the "effects" area of guitars, but go with BOSS or DIGITECH. If you want to get a multi-effect processor, then plan on spending big bucks. I am going with 2 BOSS pedals and it will cost me $195(canadian). At first I think you should choose what effects you like and go after just that pedal.

I like Digitech, I use the RP-6. It's old but man it rocks. So many effects and built in noisegate. It rocks.

yep - forget zoom!

good stuff is Digitech as stated earlier (i got the RP7 and its great) aaand if you looking for something thats not too expensive but has a great variety of effects then get the Boss ME-50. Its brandnew and i got myself one - it kix ass!

by the way, when you want to 'quote' somebody, hit the 'quote' button by that person's post. It's universally used on this forum.

Ibanez makes a good tube screamer, the TS9 Classic (not the other one), I played one, very good.

Go with analog effects (not digital), you will thank yourself over and over in the long run. I went the multi-effects way, and i wish i hadn't.

When I redo my effects, I plan on getting mostly Boss Effects, you can't go wrong with them (in most cases).

I love multi-effects. You don't have 8 different pedals strewn about the room, just one compact board with everything to offer. Completely customizable, no complaints from me. I love it.
