I've owned some rack fx (most for guitar use), but they all are good:

Boss VF-1
Digitech 2112 (or 2120)
Alesis Quadraverb 2
Behringer V-AMP Pro

It depends what you want to do...

I love vocoders i dont know the name of it but itsred and rackmount vocoder white knobs farely new my friends got one and it sounds awsome.

im planning on getting a vocoder pedal for my guitar or just run a distortion pedal thru my synth would sound cool i just got a alesis micron and man it hink its tops i never heard such realistic analog sounds come from a analog modeling synth in my life.

if your a guitar player you should demo the eclipse the pitch shifting effects are amazing eventide through my mesa boogie = heave,
