Effects Units - Money burning a hole in my pocket....

[Kremlin]

Ok, I'm considering some rack effects units now, but it's not an easy decision to come to.. It seems there are lots of units out there with a variety of different effects, but it's hard to find one with everything I want, so I thought I'd ask for some suggestions. Some effects I definitely want include a good chorus, delay with ducking, reverb, and pitch shifter. Having an army of wacky effects would be fun too, but those are the ones I'm looking for most. The TC Electronic G-Force is looking mighty nice, but I have no idea how its pitch shifting compares to an Eventide, and I have even less experience with Eventides. Then again, the TC G-Major has a built in amp channel switcher which I would love to use because then I could eliminate my Mark IV's pedalboard from a live setup. Help please?

No ducking and weak pitch, but the Rocktron Replifex is a solid unit that does amp channel switching. *I also have a Roll Patchwork which will do loops and amp channel switching...very reasonably priced and could serve this function if you found an effects unit that would do the rest. *The Intellifex does ducking but not intelligent pitch (needed?). *All the best in your search.

Thanks, I'll look into that one for amp switching.. Intelligent pitch is really something I want to play with while redoing old classic rock tunes as instrumentals Can anyone comment on how well the G-Force does intelligent pitch?
