Question Versatile Modulation Pedal

Yes, yet another recommend me a pedal thread

Due to spending FAR too long at work over the last few months I've a few extra quid in my pocket so I'm going to treat myself to a new pedal.

I'm running to following rig:
Telecaster into a Vox AC4TV via
Slutfuzz (Devi Ever Soda Meiser/Vintage Fuzz Master clone)-Little Big Muff-Distortron-Dano TOD-Nano Small Stone-H20 V2-Verbzilla-EchoPark

I'm currently considering either a flanger hoax or a POG2.

Has anyone any ideas of similar types of pedals, i.e something a bit oddball modulation/pitch shifting but still musical and versatile. The all important budget is around £200, no idea what this is in $, so consider the price of a POG2 about the maximum.

Dude, try an MXR Micro-Flanger. If the reissues sound anything like the old one's you'll dig it.

Before I even opened the thread I was thinking "this dude needs a glass nexus". Outside the price range for sure, but still awesome.

Line6 M9 is pretty versatile for modulation of all kinds and sounds very good.

TC Electronic Nova Modulator, $249 at most places, just under your budget target.

OK, looks like gear in the US is priced just a little differently than it is in the British Isles, a POG2 (the more costly of my current options) is about £200, a line 6 M9 is around £300, so please don't suggest stuff above my budget, believe it or not I put the budget in the initial post for a reason, that is the most I can afford to spend.

On the off chance anyone cares, i do like what the TC electronics nova modulator can do, so it's currently overtaken the POG2 and the hoax, plus it would mean I could flog the small stone nano & the H2O and get a hoax or POG2 in the next couple of months , shit it never ends does it?

you don't want that piece of crap prov, instead get the enventide modfactor, it's more out of your price bracket.

Johnny DeMarco would be proud of you

I don't see the POG2 as a modulator, unless I don't understand the real meaning of modulation. I mean I can pitch shift, and get organ sounds, swells, and the detune can add a sort of rotary effect. It's more of a synthy pedal to me. It's cool. I love it but not as a versatile modulator.

I probably was a bit vague in my initial post, not enough sleep too much caffine and nicotine yesterday.
What I'm looking for is something a bit different but still musical, the POG and hoax were what had caught my eye initially.

Get a Glass Nexus. Modulation + Delay + Reverb... all in one pedal, and with 8 easily accessible presets. If you have midi, then you have 1028 presets... Totally awesome!

Check their website and see if the pedal fits your budget.
