As i said before, i think i can´t go wrong then with the Boss VF-1 
since it supposed to have "Mastering"-algorithms (and 400 others).

That´s true! I guess all these "mastering"tools just gives your music 
the little extra professional touch.
And as Peter already suggested, educated ppl with prof. equipment can 
do it always better for you than yourself (if really needed).

Also true. But i think i will get this Wizoo-Guide on FX before i 
start to mess up my songs.

Still thanks to anyone for the info.
