i think the best ones aren't easy to reproduce with knobs, buttons, presets etc... that's probably what help make them great ;) for example, i have used a Jam Man, rack multi FX of whatever brand, and a mixer with some old guitar pedals sent in to it with great results. a lot of old pedals have weird additional FX, like a short delay on a distortion pedal or weird aspects of an old chorus pedal... by messing with the returns and levels on all these mixer channels something like a drum machine source gets very interesting (and "mangled"). of course it's more improvisational or intuitive, and thus not designed to capture and repeat each sound effect. but i've found the best results often come from tweaking small parameters within an effect or sound in response to live situations, whereas changing between preset effects or effect groups is too abrupt/drastic for me. just my 2˘! -jb > Boss VF1 isn't too bad.
