Not sure if this exists but it seems it would be a helpful thing live ,Usually you want to add a bit of drive boost and delay to leads, does anyone make a pedal that does multiple functions in one?
It would be nice to have something compact on the board
 
Mad Professor 1; It's reverb on board to a drive pedal. Ideally it's built to imitate brown sounds/tones.

Depending on what sound your after, that could possibly work. I think they sound damn good and are quite reasonable, price wise.
 
A few pedals trying to achieve that Echoplex-thing have boosts built in. For example, the LovePedal Echophonic Jr. has an adjustable boost built into it. If you're running in front of an already-dirty amp, it'll just add more overdrive. But if you run it into a clean amp or into a non-overdriving power amp (i.e., if there's still headroom left), it'll just give you a volume boost.
 
That'll suck if you are driving the front end of a more distorted amp. Sure if it is completely analogue it "might" work but nothing beats the loop! Unless you go into a clean amp with dirt.
 
I run the Echophonic Jr. in front of a Triple Recto because I hate that amp's loop. It sounds OK. Definitely not "great," but it gets the job done to add a bit of delay. If I really want that soaring delay tone, I run it wet/dry, but that takes so much extra crap it often isn't worth it to me.

Kind of how I felt about that pedal. It sounded so good in PTs demo, but it wasn't my thing in person. I love boosts, and I love a bit of delay in front of an amp, so I thought it would be ideal for me. I don't usually use the loops on amps if I can help it. I dug the sweep, it was very usable in front, but it wasn't transparent enough for me when I didn't want it coloring everything. Still like them seperate.

Yeah, PT's demo of the pedal sounded phenomenal, but I can't seem to get the delay to sound as good as he did. He's clearly a better player than I am, but I don't think his fingers could be responssible for this. I assume it's simply because I'm running a lot more gain than he was in that demo.
