Looking for a multi effect unit

Looking for an all in one multifx pedal that does it all. My current one can only do one "modulation" effect at a time. It will not let me program an octave effect with an envelope filter effect. Any suggestions? Other effects I will be looking for are phase, chorus, delay, and distortion. Thanks in advance. Any help would be appreciated since it will speed up my search.

The Boss GT-10B if you're looking for a complete multi-effects pedal that probably offers more effects than you'd likely every use. If you're looking for more amp/cabinet modeling, then the Line 6 Bass POD Live would be the way to go. It's a little difficult to say - depends on what features you value.
 
If you want a multi-effects processor that has good modulation effects, the korg "toneworks" ax3000b would be a good choice. it has the most lushes sounding chorus effects that you'll ever hear out of a multi-effects processor. it also has some decent sounding distortion channels and it's got some great sounding amp and cab models. and it's affordable too.
 
Line6 M13. It's a little steep, but you can run any 4 effects in its' programming in any order. Want to run 4 envelope filters in a row, then you go right ahead. The only octave on it is called 'Octasynth,' but you turn the drive down on that and you have a pretty traditional sounding octave.

It also has a looper and extensive patch memory capabilities.
 
I doubt I'll be using any presets as I like to tailor my own. That said I'm looking less for amp/cab modeling and more for really good quality effects and usable EQ. It really isn't hard for my to dial in my tone as most of it comes from my hands.

Then I would strongly recommend the Boss ME-50B. It is laid out like a bunch of different boxes that you can dial in, or if you create something you would like to save, you can still save as a preset. It is also only around $300 American.
