So seeing how I bought a Supersonic 60, all tube and have been advised (and reasoned beyond what could be disputed), I decided I will buy some pedals instead of multi FX unit.
Supersonic has an awesome burn (distortion) channel so I don't really need any overdrive/fuzz/distortion unit. I also don't need any booster as I can boost the sound by engaging FX loop (via SS60 footswitch) and make the volume of FX loop give the sound a boost.

What I do need is a good foot tuner, wah-wah and ideally a delay (preferably tape) that would enable setting the delay by tapping tempo and by having one delay that's already set at a low delay (to make the solos sound more awesome). So basically I want 2 delays within one unit. I do also want it to have a true bypass, if possible - I don't want to ruin the awesome sound of the amp by having a bad pedal.

I have already pretty much chosen a tuner, a 60€ Korg Pitchblack Poly (true bypass, 0.1cent or 0.2 accuracy, polytune, works great from what I saw on youtube) and a Wah - Dunlop Crybaby Classic GCB95 F (costs 105€ and supposedly has a hardwire bypass which is one of true bypass methods, according to Dunlop). I have been looking at Harley Benton Pedalboard, supposedly it's suited to boss sized pedals, although I suppose I could easily modify it to fit the pedals, it does have a 1000mA, 9V power supply and could supposedly provide power for 5 pedals, has wiring cables (although they look a bit cheap, but I am not well versed in pedal cables so I don't know it they are good enough or if I should invest in better quality cables). If you know of any cons for these units, please let me know as they are quite pricey and I wouldn't want something that sucks ;)

I could use some suggestions for a pedalboard though (or whether I'd be better off making one by myself) and could definitely use suggestions for delay unit. Preferably one that's under 50€ and has a true bypass. Please advise :)

Not much to offer on the peddle board but another WAH to consider is the Dunlop CRYBABY 535Q

Good choice on the Korg tuner (same here) - maybe a modulation effect like a delay that you can use for slapback to full looper capabilities?

Good luck!

I'm a big fan of the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay.

No, it's not a tape unit (as you requested), but it has a "MOD" button that adds tape warble...it is small, quiet and funky-sounding...reasonably priced, able to get slapback echo as well as longer (Gilmourish) delays--I really love mine!

If you've ever yearned for a vintage Vox Wah it doesn't get much better than the Fulltone Clyde. I have the Clyde Deluxe and it's sweet.

They also make a true-blue old fashioned tape echo delay but you won't like the price. Not one little bit.

The TC Electronic Polytune is the floor tuner I would buy if I was in the market.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Thanks for inputs guys :) I went ahead and ordered them :) Turns out my dad has a pretty cool case I can use for putting effects in, so I didn't have to buy the pedalboard :P I did buy a 9V, 500mA adapter and some cables that would basically divide it so it could power 5 pedals simultaneously, I just gotta figure out what would be the best course of action for me regarding the 3 cable jacks that wouldn't be used for now :P Some sort of insulation, I guess. I do hope they fit the dimensions though, I couldn't find any info about thtat.

I was considering that Wah as well, j. 4knee, but I figured it's probably got a lot more circuitry in it (as you can choose from multiple wahs) which would probably deteriorate the signal.

Miami Mike - yep, I will definitely buy a delay as soon as I can afford it. Based on my requirements, I suppose I won't have any choice but to order one custom made. I just gotta hope it won't be too expensive, need to ask my other guitarist who already got an OD unit made by those 2 guys.

Armadillo - I checked it out, out of my price range for now. If a custom made will be too expensive, I will follow your recommendation most likely :)

BMW-KTM - well for that price it darn well has to be awesome :P But that is out of my price range, sadly :/ So I can definitely say I won't like the price of the echo delay either :lol: As for the TC Electronic Polytune - I was deciding between the TC and the Korg one. Both pick up strings fast, the TC a tad bit faster (not enough for it to be a deal-maker though), but the Korg is more accurate and also a bit cheaper :)
