Pedal Recomendation

I am not looking for anything too fancy, but maybe a good combo pedal that is reasonably priced? I play hard rock/metal and use an Ashdown Mag300T. Does anyone make a combo tuner/compressor/VT Bass pedal or something of the sort? Or am I just better off combing individual pedals? Not looking get to fancy, just have a tuner, compress my highs a little and enhance my natural tone of this amp. Thanks.
 
Yeah, you can find a multi-effects unit that does amp modeling and has a tuner and a dedicated compressor (Line 6 Bass Podxt for instance) and does it pretty well while giving you a lot of other effects options.

But three individual pedals might suit you better just for simplicity. Maybe the VTBass, Korg Pitchblack and BBE Optostomp.
 
I got to agree with the two comments above.

Any kind of pedal tuner.

Compressor, lots of options, this is a tricky one. EBS Multicomp, BOSS LMB-3 or Ashdown Dual Band... or other. Best thing is to try some out, see what works for your gear.

And a VT-bass would be a good choice to liven up the Ashdown MAG. (MAG is my favourite budget amp next to Hartke.)
