Ok guys, I am now a pretty experienced guitar player and I wanna take my music to the next level. I want to learn about effects and wah and stuff like that however I dont want to fork over 500 bucks for a wah only pedal. Does anyone have any good suggestions for a multi effects pedal (like at least 10-20 effects) including wah that is 200 bucks or less?

Any help with some linkage/pics would be greatly appreciated

Thanks guys

Thank you so much. I dont have the dough nor the talent to purchase a crap load of single effects pedals and such. Maybe in a couple months or a year. Thank you again, maybe guitar center will have this.

Any other suggestions guys? I want to get several opinions.

Why get a multi-effects processor with a bunch of crap you will, realistically, never need when you can buy a few select stomp boxes which you will actually use. Generally the quality of multi-effects is pretty low in most cases. Wah for $500? Huh? I just got a brand new Dunlop DB-01 Dime Crybaby From Hell for $129. I suggest you check out harmonycentral.com. Peruse their user reviews section and go to their forums. Lots of good info there. If you think these forums get nuts.....

Well I see what you are saying but one type of sound for 129 bucks! Cmon man I dont have the dough to get 10 129 dollar pedals. For 129 bucks I can get a decent multi effects pedal with like 75 effects! Plus this is just for me to learn about FX, I dont perform yet, I have been playing for about 9 months now. Its just for me to get some knowledge of different effects and how they sound. I want to take my playing above simple Tone and Treble and Distortion sounds thats on my amp. So a Multi Effects pedal will do just that.

Not all effects are that expensive though. Check out Danelectro's line of mini-pedals. Some of them get very good reviews and only cost $30 or so. Their Fish N' Chips EQ pedal is considered superior to just about every EQ stompbox out there. Like I said, check out the user reviews and forums at harmonycentral.com.

That website is really hard to navigate through. Anyway I still think I want a single multi effects pedal not only because of what I said before but also cause I just dont have enough damn room in my room for 10 pedals.
