My favourite effects boxes: $100:
Any of the 2nd hand nasty digitech stuff is great. If you can find a vortex for around this, you'll like it. It's has a really high noise floor, and really low headroom, but you can get sounds out of it you can't get from anything else outside a pc, or the eventide/tcelectronics stuff. $400: The digitech 2120 guitar processor, aka the 'poor mans eventide'. Sounds like digicrap, but it's >so< programable, and powerful. You'll want to grab the freeware editor programs floating on the net, and erase all the factory presets. It's full range, so it's not just for guitars. You'll also need to build your own patches - the factory ones don't even touch the surface of it's power - most of them where built for the effects processor built two generations before, with less than 1/2 the power. ~$1000 Get a pc, and a low latency soundcard and run it as an effect box. If you can find an Oasys soundcard, you're golden; they have more onboard processing power on them than a Protools farm card. Unfortunately, you'll be stuck running windows 98.
