You mean single efx pedal or multi efx?
Since you have some nice amps I'd suggest you nice distortion pedal.

Well, regular pedals usually don't have balanced line out option. SOme of them do, like some Digitech models, but I prefer Boss over Digitech always. It depends what you need the pedal for and how much money are we talking about..

SInce you don't have pedals, and need something to record onto the computer I would sugest something with line out, or a phone out minimum, and good quality overdrive pedal, but that is relative. Again it depends what you really need, based on your playing and etc.

i think i wanna go for a multi-effect and it should cost around 200 euros (around 300$) or less of course

The PODxt cost a litte more, closer to 300 Euro but then there's the V-AmpII from Behringer that runs for less than 100 Euro and basically does the same thing and fits the budget.

If you want a floor piece there's Korg AX3000 that's about 250 Euro, Digitech GNX1 would go for less than 200.
All of these are not just multi effect but also amp simulators.

If you're looking for a plain mfx pedal there's the one from Boss that's been goved lots of credit, Boss ME-50. Then Digitech has their RP units (RP350 etc etc).

Oh, and the one called Korg AX5G has the same audi chip as KorgAX300 but at a much lower cost (and less features of course)

Hope you'll find something for your wish list.

Well, he can buy a multiFx pedal with an expression epdal built in. Maybe some Digitech or Boss models. I would definitely recommend Boss mulitFx proc.

Is there an specific effect you want or do you just want to experiment with lots of effects? Because i bought my boss gt-8 thinking i would tweak everything on it, and the truth is, i just use some stuff and leave the majority of it untouched.

With your budged you could buy ONE good pedal that you know you will use or if you know you're going to use alot of stuff then buy a multieffect. The zoom in my sig is very nice for the price.

Also i think its worth mentioning that, if it were my money i would grab those 200, sell the rest of your amps and buy something real nice. Considering your amp is accountable for the majority of your tone.

Regardless have fun with your new purchase.
