Looking for pedal suggestions - Xerograph or...?

[tracer03]

Hey, all. My wife made me an offer last night (not THAT kind... ) - quit smoking, and she'll buy me a pedal.

Difficulty: Under $200.

Here's what I have currently:

Crybaby Bass Wah
Pork Loin
Sansamp Para Driver
Joyo Voodoo Octave
Boss Bass Chorus
Boss DD3
Boss PH3
Boss BF2
Danelectro Cool Cat Tremolo
Digitech Whammy 4
Guyatone BR2 (going up for sale this weekend)
Boss RC3

Music I play: Post-rock (think Tool + Rush + some Foo Fighters with a sprinkling of QOTSA). I also noodle on my own - ambient noisey stuff.

I've tested out other dirt pedals (El Oso, Tubescreamers,Big Muff, etc.) and I think I'm set there. I've also tried some bit crusher type pedals, and they're not my thing.

I've been talking about getting an Iron Ether Xerograph Deluxe, but I'm not sure if it would be useful (or fit with what I do). Since I can't test one out locally, it's tough to say.

I guess I'm looking for synth-ey, unusual pedals that could work with what I already have, or bring something new.

Thanks in advance!

I honestly don't think you can go wrong with the Xero D. I've used it in every style imaginable and it always works for me. But I'm very much in love with everything IE so...

Do electronic cigarettes count as giving giving up?

I bought one about six months ago, haven't had a prop per smoke since, but still get all my nicotine goodness

Xerograph Deluxe and don't look back. I just finished my solo instrumental cd last nite, and out of the 7 songs I probably used it on 6 of them. The funny thing is I never once even used it as a traditional filter! (which it does quite well)
That thing is the most incredible pedal ever for creating.

@Masashi is God: For the terms of the agreement, Electric cigs wouldn't count. She made it clear.

@Tigerbass - what other fx were you using it with? Since I can't test drive one locally, I'm diving in based on the few clips I've seen here and on the intertubes.

You should try a MXR Bass Envelope Filter. It's a fun pedal to mess with and get different sounds. I'm still experimenting it with other pedals

That's been on the short list for a while - ever since I thought of selling the BR2. But the Xerograph seems like it's got a few more tricks up its' sleeve (beyond being a filter).
