I also have the zoom ms50 and that too is very flexible. I traded it for the cdr70 but will be buying one of those as soon as i can.
He still sounded phenomenal.
The switching is odd though so for a first multi I would definitely say try one before buying.
The zoom g3 people have suggested would be a good cheap box but right now I would be very tempted by the line6 hd300 on offer at andertons. My singer is selling one and wants that price for a used one. £149 is a great price.
The other option is to see what they bring out next - something must be on the way following the yamaha takeover.

The best sounding new pedal to my ears is the Zoom G5 which is much more dynamic and natural sounding than the Boss GT100 although the GT100 is way better than the GT6 I had. The G5 has great amp models abd fx but it has a major problem with its switching between patches and stomp mode. It is so convoluted its useless for my gigging needs - takes about 10-20 secs to tap dance!
I tried the TC Nova system and found it awkward to use with clumsy switching process and I was less than impressed with its tones. Its distortions were dreadful.
The Vox TLEX sounds quite good but has no patch naming, a clumsy two button switch between stomp and preset mode, and inadequate effect and connectivity options and parameters and with its awful tuner lighting and built in speakers is more of a toy than a serious bit of gigging kit.
So although its an older unfashionable unit I've stuck with my Vox Tonelab LE which still stands up really well against modern units with good amp and cab modelling, a good range of nice sounding effects, and its easy to use on stage. It also has some nice touches such as an fx insert loop, MIDI, an excellent tuner thats easy to access, and a clear lit lcd display thats easy to see on stage.
If the Zoom G5 designers fix the poor switching process I'd seriously consider it. But so far I've not found anything that's a better mix of tone, versatility and functionality for my needs than the TLLE.
