Do you have to spend time tweaking the pedals between songs during shows though? When you've used different pedal settings on different songs.

Generally not. I have the DS-1 for distortion and the Bad Monkey for overdrive so I can sort of play around between two different dirty sounds with that. Chorus is chorus, though sometimes I bend down and change that mid-SONG if it sounds off...just a matter of getting it set right.

Only thing that really gets me is delay, since I only have the stomp-box format...thinking about saving up over the summer and getting a TC-Nova- 9 presets and a bunch of other bells and whistles. Looks nice, too.

That MXR Distortion Plus sounds niiiiiiice.

Thinking get some distortion and a nice delay pedal. Covers a lot of early U2 at least.

Yeah, and in all honesty you don't need to spend huge to get a good delay sound. The Digitech stomp I have might only do one setting at a time, but Edge really doesn't do much in terms of huge differences. Just time differences. Tape off the top of the pedal and mark off where you need to hit the knob for each song, and you're fine.

Is this the one you were talking about?

Actually it's this one, slightly more expensive and with a few more options

Tap-tempo on a delay pedal is a glorious thing, too. My amp has a built in little effect-rack, and you can tap-tempo for the delay feature...makes for great dleay settings on the fly

Yeah, found it. Shit, you can get a Boss ME-70 for that

Gotta say that Boss GT-10 for 3000 SEK on what I think would be Sweden's answer to craigslist is tempting though.

Think about it this way- a Boss ME70 is $300. It has the ability to do many, many things- but only 4 at one time.

Comp: Got my comp-stomp for $50 bucks at a used shop, works like a charm. Specific settings on the thing are great, too.
OD/Dist: Got my OD pedal and my dist. box for a combined total of $80. Thinking about replacing the distortion, but still.
Mod: I really only use chorus, though I do want to look into getting an envelope filter or phaser. Got that pedal for $60. Again, you can only use one at a time though, so the value of that feature is only anywhere between $60-$150.
Delay: $70.

That's only $260 for those up there. And they look cooler (to me)

I bet the used market in Chicago beats the crap out of the used market in Gothenburg though.

Eh, technically I'm sure it would, but the local shops are the only places to actually get a bargain on used, and there's only one in my area. eBay can be your best friend though.
