Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Great choice Steph, I'd LOVE to have a PSA1, but this is an expensive 
choice for me now since I also have to purchase a power amp and a 
cab. I know the VF-1 may not be best for amp sim, yet it's not as bad 
as people say. It requires an aweful amount of tweaking.

Thanks for the info.

Sly
