Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

I'm considering updating my old Boss se-50, and the VF-1 seems to be a
good choice.
I will not use it as a pre-amp, I will use it between my ADA-MP1 and
marshall 8008.

So my questions:
Is there a global noise gate/supressor?

One thing I don't like about the SE-50 is that there are many single
effect algorithms, like the pitch shifter.
Are many of the algorithms on the VF-1 just one effect, or are there
usually some typical effects like delay, eq, reverb on each algorithm?

thanks,

First, there are 36 algorithms, there is no global noise suppressor but most
algorithms do have a noise suppressor (all guit alg (2) the bass multi has a
noise suppressor, also the ac. guitar alg, the keyboard, rotary, vocal,
vocoder, lofi, stereo multi, 10graphic eq, hum canceler and the vocal
canceler alg. have a noise supressor.

Most of these algorithm's are alg. who contain a lot of effects and include
the ones you will be using the most with your ada mp1 I guess(I own one
myself).

There other alg. are mostly alg. which contain not somany effectblocks ,
these alg. have (most of the time) a 4 band eq and 1 or 2 of the following
effects: (space)chorus, (gate)reverb, (multitap) delay, flanger, RSS
(3dimensional stuff), mic sim (no eq), phaser, reverb &reverb.
I use them sometimes, mostly for my keyboard/synth's.

The 2 guitar algorithms do always have a noise suppr,chorus,compressor/lim,
eq, wah,pream/sp.sim delay, reverb and a lot more depending one which alg
you choose.
(hr, fl, ph, sub eq, 2ce, short dd, humanizer, vibrato, guitar synth sim,
ring mod slicer (first guit alg)or a ac guit sim, bass sim, slow gear, pick
up sim, tremolo/pan for thew other algorithm, Limitation: you'll have to
choose one !! and thats it)

The alg without a noise suppressor are, imho, not the ones you'll need
esspecially for your guitar ada marshall setup.
