BR> I'm just not a fan of processors.  I've tried every major brand and they

re

       Neither was I until I found the DOD FX7. Seriously, I think that all 
it is is a bunch of really good stomp boxes wired together in a compact box. 
The whole unit is very transparent when in bypass mode and the effects are 
very lush and dynamic. With certain settings, the distortions are very touch 
sensitive, and the choruses (chorii? :>) are very lush. The only effect I 
have any complaint about is the wah... It's a bit unresponsive, but I can 
always get a Morley.
       To tell you the truth, this thing even made my tranny Fender Deluxe 
112+ sound good! I put it in front of my Dual Showman and I can get anything 
from the sweetested clean chorus sounds to the deadliest shred distortions 
and everything in between with it.
       Seriously, go try one out. They're discontinued, but you should find 
them used. Don't fall into the replacement for it, the TEC8. It's distortions 
suck. I'm not sure about the TEC8G (they replaced the distortions), though. 
It might sound nice.
