Oh yes absolutely. Reverb would be good too. (we enable GAS here)

Def some reverb and delay. Might want to look into a compressor and some kind of light distortion / OD / Fuzz too.

The actual pedal I would recommend is the Boss RV-3 
Hold out for a RV-3, the later versions lose the magic

Check reverb for this one. I actually found one local to me, for less than a brnad new RV-6 and this is incredible for these genres of music. These are the pedals that guitarists and bassists used for a lot of the best post punk and shoegaze in the 80s and 90s that you possibly love. They do some things that the new ones donāt.

Yep, in particular, that ice cold '80s digital reverb 
Oh, and itās a reverb / delay so it does both. That knob on the far right has 12 positions to move between just delay, just reverb or somewhere in between.

Yep. One of my favorite pedals of all time, just really great.
Even if I move to a multi effect thingy, unless I can find an IR for this specific model itās going to have a place on my board.

Convolution IRās only work for linear time-invariant systems, so you could nail the reverb but the delay would likely not be possible with an IR. I think, anyway - need to think about if delay is actually time-varying or not.
edit: hmm actually I think it is time-invariant, so maybe a delay IR would work. Kind of mind blowing if so but hey, DSP is weird 
Please explain, Iāve been in the market for one. so get older one or wait for the new one?

I havenāt played around with the 6, but from what I remember it only has 1 reverb+delay mode where the 3 has more. The key thing with the 3 that may not matter for you is that the tinny trebly sound is iconic in some genres of music that I donāt think youāre really super in to (although youāre good at humoring those of us that are 
). If you arenāt looking to use it for post punk, shoegaze, post rock type stuff the shimmer on the 6 is a nice feature and overall Iād probably just do that one. Iām getting a Boss GX-100 for Xmas and Iām looking forward to playing with the 6 and my 3 together.

Yes unless you need all the delay modes the 3 has or want the super not-warm-or-shimmery reverb sound of the '80s, then buying a 6 is a better choice. The 3 hasnāt been made since the early '90s so thereās no point in hoping for a new RV-3, just get the RV-6.
I love the RV-3 because it sounds like the reverbs of 1980-1990. Very much cold and stark and not at all warm or shimmery.

lol, Iād forgotten how much I loved my EBS ValveDrive too
Thatās just the tube overdriving, no additional distortion.
That thing had awesome clean tone too, especially after I dropped the JJ 5751 in to it:
Massive tube saturation. Great preamp.

Well poor little Ampero One is still at the dirty hands of our local postal monopoly, arrived to Hungary a week ago, gotta be patient 
Meanwhile this BDI21, I mean it just kicks a$$ big time, sooooo sweet sounding. No matter how much I love the Jazz and the Sire Z3 sound āpureā (via the RB210 or the Yamaha amp / Ashdown 12 etc.) but through this little cheap preamp it is just a different world. NOW I understand why people keep praising the Sansamp (which is basically copied by Behringer into this one according to most reviews/comparisons), but for like 35 Euros?! Now DI (and perfect ācleanā sound) is given, itās up to the Ampero to bring all other effects into my life

My wife just reminded me that my birthday is coming up. Iāve been holding the GAS back through the holidays but I gotta figure out something for the big 4-7. Iām thinking itās time to upgrade my interface and Iām between 2 mixers (with built in DAI functionality) for the basement. Iām between the Mackie ProFX10V3 and the Yamaha MG10XU. What Iām wondering mostly is one significantly better than the other as either a mixer or DAI? I donāt care much about the included FX, but other than spec sheets I donāt know if one of these is an obvious choice for my use case.

Right, but the 10v3 and the 10gxu are both on sale for the same price that, that 6 costs at both Amazon and Sweetwater (Iāll be buying through Sweetwater).
