hi guys..
at 1st i wanted to get a multi effects pedal...because some said that it'll be better to get a multi effects as a 1st pedal, so i'll know what effects i need..
but i went to a gig last 2 days..and i saw few of the guitarist with just few stompboxes manage to get great sound from it..(it actually sound better than multi effects rite?)

i was looking at the ax3000g and the zoom g7..
and after that gig..i decided to get stompboxes instead..
but i'm worried it will be difficult to operate single stompboxes...as i thought that multieffects will be easier..because there's memory to save the settings..and also patches..and multis can change lotsa effects with just a stomp,,while stompboxes, i need to bend down and turn the knob to change the sound..

due to financial prob..i dont plan to change my amp as during performance, mostly i get different amps provided by the organisers..
currently using the MG30dfx ( i know it have a bad reputation)..
can i get good sounds from it? must i use the clean channel? or od channel when operating the stompboxes?

last question, i play from pop-punk>alternative>classic rock>metalcore>emo, and my budget its around RM800..what is the 1st few pedals that i need to suit my style of playing?
if you're me would you go for the multi of stomp-ies? lol
what about stompbox for distortion and multi effects for delay,reverb etc?

thanks a bunch!

thanks for the replies guys..
oh..guess i'll be goin for the multi instead due to my amp..
the tonelab le is nice..but its sooo expensive..not sure bout the price here..but musicianfriend.com is selling for 399$ us? defienelty over my budget..hehe
what u guys think about the korg ax3000g?
tot i could get a different pedal since my fren has bought the ax3000g..lol
planned to get the g7 but loose hope after i found out few common prob on the Gseries..(the footswitches could fail, altho the pedal sound amazing)

hanhanhan : emo? bands like - hawthorne heights, taking back sunday,panic at the disco,My Chem Romance..etc

quarantined : haha no prob..
the ax1500g, as i know its not in production anymore..but some shops in pg is still selling, got stock i guess..around 600plus if im not wrong..

i've seen the digitech RPs..i feel its not that durable..footswitches are fully plastic..and it doesnt look that good too..ehhe..but not sure bout the sound..
btw, any review for the floorpod? how is it againts the ax3000? it's not that tweakable i guess..
