Zoom b3

So I'm considering one of these my first multi effect. I'm really looking for something that'll do a compressor boss OD and a qtron. Being all In one makes it great. Being that it has tons of other effects is nice too but how do they stack up to the real thing.
 
The compressors are good, the OD's are decent, and the Qtron is adequate. I don't think this pedal does anything exceptionally well, but most of the effects are usable and they sound good. There are quite a few threads on this unit and a lot of sound clips. I'd search for those and take a listen for yourself.
 
The zoom b3 is a totally awesome multi-effects processor. the compressors sounds nice and the overdrive and distortion effects sounded pretty cool. I do have sound samples of the zoom b3. here's the link.
