Okay, here's the deal.
I've played the guitar for a while and now that I've got a part time job on top of Uni it's about time I started thinking about beefing up my electric guitar set-up. At the moment I have a basic squire strat which I'm happy with and a crappy amp that I'm not so happy with. I also have no effects apart from the overdrive already built into the amp (sounds like shit really).
What does everyone reckon is the best way to go about getting a decent set up for effects. Basically a good overdrive, delay and wah wah are a must. A couple of others like maybe phaser would be nice as well. I've had a look in the guitar shops and it looks as though the best way of doing it is getting one of those multi-effects set-ups, rather than each individual pedal seperately. Is this correct? Or is the quality of sound delievered by individual pedals far superior to the multi effects thingy. Also, are there any cheap options around that anyone may know of? The ones I have looked at at the moment are around the $1000 mark, which is still a little beyond my means if I could avoid it (cosidering I also have a new amp, a digital video camera, a trip to Canada and a laptop computer on my short-term wish list!!).
Suggestions on what to start looking at would be most appreciated.
