Effects pedals can enhance the sound/performance of a harmonica player when 
used with restraint and good taste.

I agree, good taste is key.

Just like spices, good effects help too.

Jim Zeller a local player, uses a Roland Space echo 'box' very effectively. 
He occasionally uses it to accompany himself by playing with his echo. Also 
octavers are really cool. When you buy a multi-effect, and you first try all 
the effects, the octaver is the big winner. At least in my book.
