Don't know if anybody here has got a Boss ME80, but you can get some fairly convincing Shads echoes out of it, seeing as it's got three available delays on it. I got fed up with carting around a large pedalboard for some gigs, a pair of Quadraverb Plusses in an effects rack (as well as the pedalboard) for Specs Appeal gigs and an old Boss ME6 for pit stuff, so I bought an ME80, which does absolutely everything, and a bargain at around £250. You have to spend a bit of time with it, but once I got my head around the fact that most of the echoes are a bunch of very fast repeats which then go into a longer seperate repeat, it fell into place. The RE301 echoes were probably the most tricky, but I'm quite pleased with the results. I'll post the settings here if anybody's interested.
