With the TC stuff you have the toneprints and editor so you'll probably get there even if you don't like it straight out if the box. Depends if you like the fiddling.
@EricTheWeary I’m definitely a plug in and play sort, though I like fiddling with pedals, the last thing I want is fiddling with tone prints and faffing with the computer.
I hadn’t realised digitech had closed to business, that might explain why the polara is only £104 on Amazon at the moment -think I’ll prime it, can always send it back if it doesn’t suit.
anyway, i'm not great with the search function but you may be able to find it that way if interested in the detail. it's a shame.
I’m not sure Digitech are closing as such but their parent company was sold and the new owners promptly fired all the pedal dev staff. Not sure if that means they are giving up on the whole deal.
dug out the thread from tgp in my bookmarks as can't find the recent one here.

tom and team would be crazy to leave stompbox designing altogether, a hugely original and inspiring force in the effects universe. laying off nothing to do with their performance as a team, just corporate boardroom bull.
but it may be case that rights to their pedals to date are transferred to the new parent company as part of the severence deal, in which case those designs may be left to gather dust while less inspiring but more lucrative in-house product is promoted.
First impressions of the Polara are fairly positive. The spring reverb isn’t as good as the frv1, but it doesn’t need to be, my Princeton reverb does that. For the ethereal modulated stuff it sounds gorgeous, I’m looking forward to trying it live.
So Boss FRV1 and Mosky Spring will definitely be hitting the classifieds shortly.
