I've never really been into pedals. I used to have a Boss gt-10 pedalboard that was pretty nice though. Sounded good until I got a Blackstar HT Stage-100 half stack. Now I just use the amps tone, no pedals.

I've been playing at home into a Roland Cube 80GX, so I've never had a need for pedals, but I'm getting a Orange DT and I'd like a pedalboard to have a little more fun/find an ideal tone.

Well if you want a good tone for really cheap (like less than $100) and you want to mess with effects I'd try an amp simulator. I use bias fx for practicing. All you need is the program, a computer, a guitar, and an audio interface. If honestly sound just as good as a tube amp and there's hundreds of amps to download.

I plan to get Bias to trial quite a bit of things once I get a better computer. (I'm also seriously considering that amp head they're releasing.)
