LOL well i think we'd all like that. sorry i know that you mean just couldn't resist. Ok now for an answer that helps. here is a list of candidates with prices (from dolphin music's website)

digitech RP80 (L60) sorry no pounds key on yank keyboards

digitech RP50 (L40)

zoom G1X (L52)

behringer XV-AMP (L53)

all of these pedals will do a bunch of efx and are to some dgree programable. don't expect miracles at this price point you'll get servicable sounds that will work fine but obviously there are far more expensive units that would have better quality sound and efx.

i'm an old fashioned geezer and don't personally use these new fangled multi-fx units (i've tried a few and find that they are a mixed bag in terms of sound) so perhaps another member has used one or more of these and can give a real opinion of them.
and now for something completely different

I don't know of any pedals for £50, But I do know that the Line6 Pod is around £80-£90 and the Boss ME-20 (I have one) are around £100, they are a bit more expensive but the sound quality on both are really good :)

Boss may do a cheaper pedal, Might be worth a google search ;)

I have a zoom G2.1U which gives a great sound and has some really cool effects.
usually it's about £100 (yay my keyboard has a pound symbol!!) but I got mine of ebay for £50!!
It also comes with cubase LE 4 which is amazing for recording stuff!!

thanks,

the $ on a UK keyboard isn't a dollar sign, there is only one line through it.. although i can't remember what it is for. :P

As for the pedal, i think it'd be a bit of a waste of time getting a multi effect unit for that kinda money unless you were gonna buy second hand.
