From the effects send on the Boogie, I go into a T.C. Electronic 2290 and a Yamaha GEP50. I've got a Roland GP8, too -- those guitar processors are okay if you use them together with another effect. And I've got the wonderful Eventide Harmonizer, which I use for some of the expansive stereo choruses. I haven't used my Roland GR-50 guitar synthesizer onstage yet, but I'm planning to. The controller is a GK-2.
