I quite like the Roland DEP-5. Can be had for $100 USD, and it has some great choruses and decent 'verbs. I like it better than my SPX-900, which is also great (see tINY's post on the SPX-90, above). It works very well on drums, bass and guitars.

Oh and one of the great things about the SPX-90 is that it has dynamics (compressor, gate, etc) patches too.

Sometimes using the effects send / return of a synth can be a cheap way of adding effects during mixing. I used to use an E-mu Morpheus (probably ~ $100 these days) as an effects processor during mixing. Its 'verbs are a bit cheesy, but it worked well on drums.

In fact I might just go hook it up again right now...

Cheers,

Johann
