Why a rack mounted multi-effects? Although, that's what I use, I find it
takes up 2 rack spaces (some do only one) AND need a floor pedal to control
them. The Korg Toneworks series and the Digitech GNX series both have a
decent complement of effects all in nice floor pedal configurations.
If you really need a rack unit, there's the TC Electronics G Major and G
Force. Roland's got the GP-100 (List member Mark Hamburg was selling one
really cheap recently) and if you've got a lot of cash, Lexicon makes the
MPX-G2. If you don't care about distortion, there are a ton more on the
market, like Lexicon's MPX100.
You should really get yourself over to a music shop where you can listen
to a
bunch of these products with your guitar and amp if possible. Lot's of
stores
have a 30 day return policy, so you can really dig deep. No one will be
able
to tell you which one is right for you.
