Most BANG for the Buck ??

I`m looking to buy my first multi-effects board/unit w/looper and was wondering what you the TB community think would give me the most bang for my dollar. I heard the KORG PX5d was good,also the Boss ME-50/70 and the Boss ME-20B any suggestions ? Whatever I get it`s gonna be used, does`t make any sense to me buying new when so many TBr`s buy things and only use them for a week or two and realize it`s not for them, so I want something that will sand the test of time...

When you say patch do you mean effects as in having to download the effects and install them with your comp ? does it have effects and beats already in there ?

It does, I was referring to additional effects settings. Very easy to hook it up to a computer, back up your settings, and toss in some new ones to experiment around with. The fact it also acts as a DI with amp modeling is a very nice bonus if you're interested in going ampless.

I agree, the B3 is a lot of bang for the buck.

B3. Love mine, sold off some nice pedals (fuzzrocious et al) once I got it.

The amp sims are VERY good
