Honestly, there are so many options out there but here is my two cents worth.  Boss has several older pedal boards that you can purchase on Ebay for a reasonable price. They have the GT-8 & GT-10 which I own both of these, and they have MORE than you could ever want for an effects processor. You spend hours, days. weeks refining the sound you're looking for but there tons of presets that will most definitely fill that need.


Now, I run the GT-10 into a Peavey Classis 50/50 Stereo head into a 2X12 slanted cabinet. This amp is transparent (no sound coloring) so it's a fit to my needs with this pedal board.  The benefit to these pedal board is you can plus a set of headphones into them and ROCK out till you're DEAF.  


You can also go the same route with a Line 6 desktop and get what you want as well but I chose to go with a actual pedal board because of all the options you can do with them. I've own both of these for over 15 years with no issues whatsoever.


Nowadays, I'm at the point in my life where I just a clean sound with just enough overdrive but still be able to pick cleanly so I am researching a new amp for this, and I am leaning towards a Quilter Cub for what I am wanting to play these days. as a bedroom wanker wannabe.


Hope this helps....
