Ok, I'm very hapopy with my PodXTL, but at the same time I want to see what kind of a setup I can build using old fashioned stomp boxes and a decent Amp to complement my Jem (The PodXTL goes great with the Variax with ita automatic patch switching).

I am starting a list, and was hoping for people to tell me if I am on the right track. At this point in time, Steve Vai is my inspiration, and I am looking for a kind of "For the love of god" sound, coupled with a great clean sound. From my pod experiments I know which effects interest me, I'd like to figure out the best of breed for each.

This is a paper exercise at the moment, and I will fo course try all suggestions before I buy this stuff - particularly the AMP!

1. Amp - I have no idea here, seomthing with an awesome clean channel and no built in effects. Also, if I have a distortion pedal (see later) do I need to worry about overdriving the amp as well?

2. Distortion - Robert Keeley modded Boss BD-2 - I imagine this will give me a clean and useable sound with decent sustain

3. Chorus - Something subtle to add some stereo width, and to help with a good clean sound - Boss CE2?

4. Delay - Digital Stereo Delay - Boss DD6?

5. Wah - Morley bad horsie 2

6. Expression Pedal - Ernie Ball Volume pedal?

7. Compressor - Keeley compressor?

I welcome your thoughts ...
