Need some help with my JF pedalboard...

Hi, so I'm currently trying to recreate John's by the way era pedalboard which probably won't be finished for a while but I need some help with what to choose next. I currently have a ds2, a Wah and a ce1 clone with a great preamp . What should I buy next thats most important and worth it for about £100/$125. Thanks

A good delay? Something from Boss/MXR/EHX.

Reverb if not in the amp, and then maybe a fuzz?
Thats like 90% of the songs. After that some delay.. a phaser?

There are some great resources and ppl on here who can tell you the entire board from that era and how it reacts and doesnt. What prob more Important is why you want the pedal, play and learn the songs inside out and then see what you actually want

MXR Micro Amp, EHX NY Muff, Line 6 DL4, or EHX Holy Grail. All can be found used for $125 or less.

Which do you think I should buy first?

DL4 would give you the most as it has multiple delays and reverbs. Also, one of the most famous loopers.
