@fitz what is the most desirable pedals you use ?
Delay , chorus , reverb , overdrive ?

I've never been into delay pedals - I prefer a subtle reverb, and a reverb pedal usually has more options than a built-in spring tank or DSP chip.
One of my must haves is chorus and some post tone stack EQ in the loop.
Hard to single out a "most desirable pedal" as it seems to me that certain pedals work better with certain amps.

Out front I like some Marshall-y OD and having a fuzz option is never a bad thing.
The amps I have kept are the ones that have a native overdrive that I like, so sometimes just a little boost is all I'm after.
My channel switchers can get by with just get the aforementioned loop trio.

Drive pedals and EQ are notorious for bringing noise issues into the signal chain, so a good 4-hole noise gate is usually a must have.

I like having options, which is why I have a few well populated pedalboards, and why I'm always interested in an easy to use MFX.
 
Did a little experimentating tonight.
Been looking for a small-ish MFX to use with my little 12/15w amps.

Currently running a few cheapo Joyo pedals and a no-name little noise gate.

I've been thinking one of those new-ish Boss MFX like the GT-1 or GX-1 would give me better tones.
So I figured I could always try a few actual Boss pedals and see how they sound with the little stereo rig.
Pulled my (mostly) Boss board and rigged it up for all front end.

I think my MFX search is over.
The pedal shootout was practically a no contest.
The Joyo pedals are killin' it with these amps.... :pound-hand:

Um, yeah, $1,400 is a whole different level of coinage.

I'm not really interested in amp modeling and cab IRs.
My main interest in an MFX unit is quality pedal tones in a versatile and convenient package.
I like a variety of drive pedals to hit the front end of my amps, and I'm an EQ, chorus & reverb in the loop junkie.

The problem I have is cheap MFX units never sound as good as my real pedals, and good MFX units have all kinds of functionality I don't use - but have to pay for just to get good sounding effects.

Same here, I like my amps and speakers. I still love the HX Effects, it does everything you could want and at a reasonable price. Things you may need someday are in there too, and the pedal tones are every bit as good as any pedal I have ever played. Not every pedal works with every situation so it’s awful nice to have several of each kind to pick from. When you find stuff you like you can save it all set up to use whenever you want. For the price of about 3 pedals it’s incredible, especially when you can put a 250 pedal pedalboard in the back of a combo amp.
