Yamaha FX500 multi-effects processor.
This is a pretty grungy and cheap digital effects unit that seemed amazing at the time when the choice was mostly between spending thousands on high-end stuff or buying guitar pedals. I bought this because it was cheap and my friend had one so I knew how to use it. I don't use it that much these days but it's fine for delays and you can change the order of the effects for some nice EQ-ed echoes and so on. I also quite enjoy really cheap-sounding digital reverb in some situations and the distortion is quite usable.
