I've never been a big user of outboard effects, but I do occasionally like to add a bit of delay to fatten up a lead tone. My MXR Carbon Copy isn't getting the job done in front of the amp, so I'd like to try something in the effects loop instead.
With that in mind, I'm hoping someone can recommend a moderately priced, easy-to-use delay pedal equipped with a line-level feature for use in a loop. The T.C. Electronic Nova Repeater looks to have all of the aforementioned traits, but I'm sure there are plenty more options out there, possibly for less money.
Second, I'd like to try some sort of clean boost in the chain, to push the preamp tubes a little harder for ultra-heavy rhythms. My Boss OD-1, while outstanding for leads, cuts a fair amount of bass when engaged and therefore isn't ideally suited to heavy-metal "chug." Pedals such as the MXR Micro Amp, MXR/CAE Boost Line Driver, BBE Boosta Grande, and Keeley Katana all seem to offer what I'm looking for, but again, I'd appreciate some firsthand feedback.
Thanks in advance.
