That's a lotta strings!
I ended up buying an Eventide H9 Max pedal. For those who don't know, this is a sort of jack-of-all-trades pedal. It's pretty crazy how many different uses there are for this pedal (and there should be, given the high price). Compression, distortion, chorus, flange, phase, leslie, reverb, delay, synths, and on and on. But for the most part it only does one effect at a time.
Apparently, now that I have an H9 Max (and have registered it with Eventide) I can get a (less expensive) H9 Core, register and update it, and it will have the same functionality as the more expensive unit.
Now I'm starting to think it would be handy to have a loop switcher like the Boss ES-5 or ES-8. With a loop switcher I could change the position of the H9 depending on function. For some effects it makes sense to have it in the amp's effects loop, in other cases it could be in front of the amp. And of course there's MIDI to change programs or to send control data from an expression pedal. The other thought I had was to have one pedal board to rule them all which could also be used as part of my bass rig.
I'm just in the dreaming and planning stages now...
