Firstly, I have got no idea how to use the tv remote other than to turn it on or off and raise the volume
I get very quickly and easily bored with computers,phones etc
Safe to say I'm totally non-tech and dont particularly want to be any better -thats what you're dealing with.
I play to reasonable standard including gigging cover /function band - I am a guitar to amp kinda guy -ride the volume on guitar and run a rig comprising 2 amps via an ABY box........very simple ;
AMP 1 -FENDER CLEANS.........AMP 2 - BRITISH DIRT
Each set as I need for that gig /song ,either switching between the two or sometimes blending both together
I like simple but sometimes put a boost /drive in front of either amp and set up to give myself a 3 tone option ;
Clean,mild crunch,juicy lead
The day has come when I need some modulation effects in order to make certain songs sound convincing
I do not really need delay but a bit of slapback would be good for country / rockabilly and 50s Americana
Ideally need flange,chorusand phaser - nothing clever ,dont need 4 types of each or anything too sophisticated
nothing truly time based and cant be doing with loops etc -straight into front of amp only
MUST BE VERY SIMPLE AND NEAT IE ALL ON ONE UNIT
I tried a roland gt 100 - absolutely not for me -it was all I could be arsed to do to get it out the box and far too clever
Am thinking of perhaps an 80s Ibanez type thing or Line 6 mm4
i just want one unit to put between ABY box and me -ideally with 3 or 4 switches for simple use
ANY ADVICE,SUGGESTIONS,EXPERIENCES ..OR OFFERS TO SELL WHAT WORKS FOR ME
DONT WANT CLEVER OR SOPHISTICATED OR SONIC PERFECTION
THANKS

As ICBM said, individuals
Phase - MXR Phase 90, single rotary control, simple use, and my favourite phase
Chorus (if wanted) MXR Micro Chorus as above
Flange - MXR Micro flanger, 2 rotary controls, as above.
I'm not saying that other modulation pedals aren't good (they are) but those mentioned are simple to use, and sound really good, where ever they're set. I rarely take any of them above half-way on the controls, so subtle use is good.
Have them on a small board with a power supply and Bob's you mother's brother.
For a delay/slapback I'd use a simple analogue-voiced delay, I use a Visual Sound Axle Grease, which will do exactly what you need, IE a simple delay which does the simple things nicely, without all the bells and whistles (no tap-tempo, no massively long delays). A lot of people who want this use the MXR Carbon copy, which I've never tried, but hear lots of good things about.

just re read the OP, so the Quatro was a rubbish suggestion Probably nothing out there that does exactly what you want and is simple ( plenty of things that do them all plus a bunch of other stuff). The Zoom MS70 CDR would cover all you want I think but it's not the easiest live. You could pick up a used Line 6 M9, comes with power supply and pretty easy to set up ( or get a friend to set up) if you use it as basically half a dozen pedals and don't go into anything deeper. If I could work it ( and I used one just as I've described as a bunch of favoured pedals and ignored all the fancy bits) I'm sure almost anyone can.
Are there any particular chorus, phaser and flanger tones you want? I mean from specific songs. For example, the micro flanger I had sounded very good and was pretty easy to dial in, but I didn't think it did the Van Halen Unchained thing as well as I wanted.
When the simpler pedals do the tone you want, they're awesome. Really handy and no faffing about trying to find the killer setting. The problem is if they don't you don't have much to tweak and odds are it's just not the right pedal. )
