first off do not i repeat DO NOT EVEN THINK OF TOUCHIN ZOOM...fisher price might as well as made it...same with digitech, i used to be sponsored by digitech and ive played it all.. suuuuux...the best ive found is line 6 pod...the pod PRO is the best i think...its grrreat for live..and amazing for tv performances...unfortunitly IMO its horrible for recording.. thats why you get the the individual effects, like boss is good.. i cant think of much others..there is no such thing as a good distortion pedal, unless you can find one of the original ibanez tube screamers.. they are the best...crem de la crem:)

if you want the board thing tho just go with pod or pod pro..you cant go wrong..(even tho its still sampled effects)
