The Boss GX-700 has the same RMod from the sound of it. It can also place 
fx in 
any order and has a programmable and moveable fx loop. This allows me to 
place a
pile of fuzzes and my analog filter in the loop and place them before or 
after 
other things like delay, pitch, rmod, flange, phase, etc. COSM based amp 
and 
speaker simulation as well as a representative pile of all the Boss fuzzes.

You can attach up to 4 cc's for realtime control of all parameters. Pretty 
cheap
as well. The 700 can be had from ~300.00 used on up.

The GT5 is a little pricier, but it allows (i believe) up to 8 cc 
attachments 
for better realtime control and has one built in expression pedal...
