Hi guys, I've been playing with a Line 6 Pod X3 Live for a (too) long time now. I find myself using only the delay, volume pedal and tuner. I used to use an overdrive on it as well, but I got a good deal on a Boss SD-1 and I'm loving it. All of this is going into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, coming from an american strat. Bottom line is, I'd like to replace the under-utilised multi effects unit with some stomp boxes. The music scene I play in is mostly church/worship music but I like doing blues rock and U2-ish vibes. So here are my thoughts for replacements, please give me your opinions: Delay: Eventide Timefactor (I heard you can't go wrong and I've seen them used often) Overdrive: Sticking with the SD-1. Or should I consider the Ibanez TS-9? Something else? Volume: Ernie Ball VP JR (I see these everywhere, really, do people use something else?) Tuner: Boss TU-3 or the Polytune 2. Obviously I'd like to get the valves in my amp up to that sweet spot without causing permanent hearing damage, how can I lower the output volume but not lose the valve quality? Looking forward to your feedback!

naudecruywagen wrote I do think the timefactor/timeline might be a bit overkill for me.

How about the TC Electronic Flashback X4? The price is very appealing.

Also look at the Vox Delaylab if you're going on price! ?

Hi guys,
Thanks again for all the feedback and advice. This weekend I bought my new effects and I can't be happier.
Here is what I got:
TC Electronic Flashback X4
TC Electronic Polytune 2
Ernie Ball VP JR

The combination with my Boss SD-1 sounds really awesome!
