I've been relying on computer plugins, a kaos pad, and the effects units within synthesizers for a while now.
What are the best multi-effect units available for a reasonable price? I don't really feel like buying separate units for reverb, delay, chorus etc...I don't have the money.
I just need this so I can hear the sound I want insantly and improvise tracks through a unit where I can chain effects. Doing on PC isn't as immediate and live.
thanks.

Line 6 is good.
Only payed with, never owned. The pod is legendary.

Thanks Taxidermist. Now I'll be able to do live stuff more interestingly too.

(these are guitar effects though)

I see.
Yeah, I am looking for something to run a synth through where I can chain effects on a unit. I would like it to sound nice enough, but I can't afford anything very professional at the moment.

Most software effects are modeled after guitar effects. So if you want an effect for your synthesizer, then you might consider going for the guitar effect.
Unless you want to sink 3000 dollars into one of these.

Thanks. Sorry, I'm not knowledgeable in this area. These links have been a good help.
However, the 3000 dollar thing would be soooo nice to have. I wish I had that money to throw around. :)

Well the screenshots, and the fact that BT (who, whether you like him or not, does create some awesome sounds and has amazing production values) uses it was enough.

WT OMG F ?
You want synth effects so get a synth effects unit, no need for guitar effects units, especially Line 6 (very basic, very boring) and Digitech is poor quality
go here and click the 'Effects Units' link, I recommend Lexicon and Alesis. This is basically a reference site, always read the user reviews if they have them check if its in your price range and blah ebay

Lots of the cheaper dj-oriented fx units (Kaoss pad, Alesis Air FX, etc.) are not much cop for serious studio work. Nowhere near as good as decent VST fx. I've never used really expensive hardware FX, so can't comment on them.

Yes. I have bought lots of quality plugins, and some came with my producer edition of Sonar3 which sound lovely too. But for live work, and for the sake of some collaborative stuff I'm doing with someone else (at their studio), I need some hardware fx so I can just bring my synth there along with the fx and get to work. Unless there is a way of running the synth through my laptop with minimal lag...
