Well... what do you want to do? A lot of those pedals do very different things from each other. Think about what type of sound you want, try some out, then burn your money on it.

Also if you don't have a good tuner pedal I would suggest that first before any other effects pedal.

Yeah if you were to tell us stuff like the type of music you play, we could most likely suggest something you would enjoy.

i play LOTS of jazz fusion, a fair amount of funk and a good amount of alternative rock, hard rock, and rock. i live in a hole named tasmania, its a silly tiny island and most of the local music stores only have guitar stuff, i did see a digitech bass synth wah once a few months back.

I would give filters like the Qtron and the autoQ a shot then. Envelope filters are super fun and funky.

I think in most situations a fuzz or distortion would work out fine. They can bring some funk here and there and, can rock out too.
Filters are way fun too.

Hmm, is that $150 Australian? That limits your choices, you could probably get a digitech bass synth wah, I have one and it's pretty funky If the prices are really that bad down there you'd probably be better buying online through sites like www.allansmusic.com.au or www.billyhydemusic.com.au. I used to live in a small NSW country town, so I understand the pain of tiny music shops and their grossly inflated prices...

The 105Q is a quality pedal, if you can see yourself using a wah even a little, it is worth it.

If you want to bring in the noise: get a fuzz, on a budget the EHX LBM is awesome.

If you want to bring in the funk: envelope envelope envelope... filter that is... EHX Q-trons are awesome... not so much the mini or micro though
