Hi, tumpang thread a bit...

I'm also looking for a new effects since my Zoom 707 rosak (the jack port spoil... suka suka no sound come out, everytime must adjust the jack)

I've tried once and fell in love with the Pod XT... but for 2 reasons I don't think I can get it... 1) it's too exp (upwards RM1.5k!!!?) 2) too many customizations that I don't think I'm pro enough to use.

My friends all Line6/Pod kaki. Ask this Pod. Ask that Pod. So I need some other perspective:

-I don't require a lot of funky effects. My main ones are:
1) Distortion  (like evanescence's rhythm) and general lead distortion- not very picky on that,
2) clean (eric clapton - wonderful tonight) and
3) a certain effect that is hard to describe. If it's something like... fuzz? very light distortion-ish. if anyone here has heard the song Reaching For You by Hillsongs Australia (a christian song) you'll know what I'm talking about- it's used in the guitar solo.

any recommendations for multi-fx models that really shine in these 3 sounds? also wah is not needed because i have a separate pedal for that already. budget-wise, i plan on keeping it below 1k... but you know, i'm exploring options here, so even if it's >1k, do post it as well.
