Well like I said I am new to the world of effects but what I am most interested in is different kinds of distortion, phaser ( I have used both distortion and a phaser) and the wah sounds kind of fun...
As to the kind of sound that I am trying to achieve I play pretty much anything but death/heavy metal. What you said about knowing what you want to do with them before you buy them, like I said I am just starting out qwith effects so I am not quite sure what I want to do...
