Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Limitations placing the effects in the chain.

The vf has two guitar algorithms (Pb1 and Pb2, it also has a acoustic git.
alg Pb4, haven't used that much yet).
PB1 : comp/lim -wah -preamp/speaker sim. - 4 band eq - ns - Mod (this block
contains a hr, fl, ph, sub eq, 2ce - shortdelay -hu - vb -syn - rm -slicer
and allows you to choose one of them, another limitation) - delay - chorus -
reverb.

Okay, the manual says: you can (only) place the Mod and the pre/speakersim.
anywhere in the effect chain, quite a difference compared to the GP.

Pb2 looks like this: com/lim - sfx (contains a ac guit sim, bass git sim, a
pick up sim. and a slow gear, a trem/pan and a feedbacker, again a
limitation because you can only choose 1) - preamp/sp.sim. - wah - 4bandeq -
ns - delay - ce -reverb.

I can (only) place the sfx block and the preamp sp. sim anywhere in the
chain.

Finally, I took a look at your website and your gear, nice.
I own a JV - 880 and a Gr -30 and some more stuff.
If you can afford the extra money : buy the vf and keep the gp, it's worth
the money, this thing has a lot to offer besides the guitar department/alg,
and looking at your gear (esp. the mixer using the send returns): the VF is
a lovely toy, my synths are sounding like they never did before, the vf has
46 or so algorithms and lots of possibilyties (excuse my spelling)
