Recommend me a floor multi effects system

One of my rigs I'm using a TC Nova System. Got in trade several years ago and really don't use it much. I think if I could 4CM with it I'd probably keep it.

Many, many moons ago I used a Digitech RP7 and Vox Tonelab LE when I was first starting out.

What's good on the cheap that I can 4CM with that at least has the basics - delay, reverb, tuner, chorus, etc? Somewhere around $4-500 new or used? I know it's a broad question, but I can narrow down from that once I see what's good/available/reliable.

Boss MS-3 is pretty nice and has 3 loops for additional pedals.

Line 6 HX Stomp XL can be had used in that price range and is fairly new. Quality seems good IMO.

Would it be worth upgrading to a G System?

Michael Romeo swears by one live even today.

I picked up a Fractal FX8 for $450 about a year ago. The market is currently kind of crazy but there are still deals out there.

Ive been using a dinosaur Digitech RP1000 for years. It works flawlessly, has above average FX, and I paid $200 for it. Can't beat it.

Boss MS3 is best value per dollar that I’ve found. Awesome product.

That’s real cheap. If that’s what you got it for you were very lucky

It is cheap. Definitely an element of luck at times. You can't hesitate when you run across a deal. Snooze, ya lose.

The fractal fm3 I had was so good I got the rack version... fm3 or fm9 for the win.

TC G-system can be had cheap these days, I just got one and love it...

I had the TC Electronic G System, the red one. Great unit, ran it 4CM into a Mesa Mark IV. Quiet, transparent, and loved the switching for the amp channels, however to me the sounds of the G Major were just better. Fast forward, I picked up the Fractal FX8 Mark II (with the switching in it), and haven't found anything better.
