Yeah thanks 6/8 Stanley. I'm currently travelling (Grey Nomad in a caravan). I have a VL3x with me but it's a bit big and awkward, not to mention a pain to power. Been looking into pre-amp pedals but a lot seem to need external power. I got the Live2 for it's compact, stand alone functionality rather than sample chopping. Sort of a portable alternative to my computer based home studio.
ATM I'm leaning towards a cheap (Behringer etc) amp in a box pedal. Pedals that may work range from about $50-$1500. For my current use, a $50 one should be fine but I'm also thinking in terms of something that would work for me at home, as well. For what it's worth I play mainly clean, Jazz, Country etc.
I do want to limit it to something that at least has a contained 9volt battery, or if possible USB powered. Would be great to power it from the Live2.
Been watching lots of you tube re Clean Boost, Overdrive, Preamp, etc etc pedals but most of the better ones need external power.
I will be passing through a City with a music store in a couple of weeks and happy to see what they have in stock. Can always take the Live2 in with me to try anything they have. Otherwise it's order online.
