Unless you're having to try and cover/copy a lot of different player's sounds, find a couple tones/effects you like and toss the rest. I use a good chorus (sometimes), either a Fulltone overdrive or Keeley compressor (though rarely the compressor on guitar), and an old Vox wah.
Toys get in the way of the tone and the feel.
I also wouldn't mod the amp until you know what you want out of it...and really get a feel for what it truly sounds like.

The best guitar players (john petrucci, joe satriani) in the world have huge racks full effects. Yes you need to have alot of talents but the effects can greatly improve tone/over all sound.
