I will preface my question by saying that I own a couple of LW Pedals and I love em. Nothing wrong with them.

I've been working on my guitar playing so that I can play that (with my band) instead of harp on the songs that I don't do a whole lot on harp.

What kind of pedals do you use or have heard used with guitar that work well with harmonica? I'm looking for effects that would do well with both instruments. Like buying ingredients that work in multiple recipes to minimize waste. I'm not looking for a specific sound, so no real parameters to stay in for "a sound."

Thanks.

ps- I currently own a delay, envelope filter, harp attack, and harp shield.

Take a trip to guitar center with both axes and give these pedals a try. They work very well with both: mxr carbon copy, xotic ep booster, bbe opticomp, mxr 10-band equalizer, bbe sonic stomp.

Also LW pedals work nicely with guitar and an eq pedal.

Danelectro Mini Effects pedals are a good bang for the buck and sound great with harp. I myself have five of them...some still in production, some I had to find used. Fish & Chips EQ, PB&J Delay, Corned Beef Reverb, Milkshake Chorus, Tuna Melt Tremolo, and Rocky Road Rotary Speaker. Only one I have trouble with is the Rocky Road. It has a lot of gain behind it and leads to feedback. I'm hoping soon to figure a way to mount a resistor in there so I can use it without that particular headache.

The Artec pedals are also pretty good - made in South Korea and excellent quality for the price.
