No, does the digital sounds like plate and shimmer if that's your bag

If you want to try lots of different sounds and the ability to save presets I'd go for that HD300. I played for years at church using only a pod xt live and got huge mileage from it. If you want just one pedal, maybe 2, Id go for a delay first, something like DD7/Carbon Copy. Unless your amp is multi channel, get an overdrive. If u have a couple channels then I'd grab a tremolo or reverb as a second pedal instead. If you want a sweet lead booster, get a klon or clone thereof... eg soulfood. 2c

the pandora stomp was cool and cheap for the money-however it suffered from too much colouration in a pedal board situation for me.I second the M series-lots of variety and plays nice with all sorts of applications including 4 cable
