TC Electronic Plethora X1

The Plethora X1 is an extremely pedalboard-friendly 'chameleon' - a single pedal that can be anything that you want. The whole premise here is that you may want, say, a flanger, chorus or phaser at some point in your set but don't really want a dedicated pedal for each of those effects on your pedalboard. The X1 can provide those and more, albeit one at a time. What makes the pedal so versatile is that it's a TonePrint Loader that can house any of the sounds you'll find in TC's TonePrint pedals, which include the Hall Of Fame reverb, Flashback delay and many more. Access to all of those makes it a compact powerhouse for any 'board.
