I have to aggree with F monk on the analog stuff. I used to use a pedalboard. I thought for the price you couldn't beat having all the FX at your fingertips but for some reason my tone suffered when I plugged into my fender twin. I consulted a friend who has been giggin' for years( maybe even decades) and he said something about digital waves not being as warm as analog waves. So I tried some stomp boxes and slowly phased out the pedalboard. Since then I have yet to hear a guitarist use a digital FX processor and sound better then my analog gear. Keep in mind the more you Pay for a pedal the higher the quality. If you really want to sound good It will take a lot of practice and a lot of money. Bottom line: Digital gear is a mere replica of analog gear.... But that's just my opinion. Psycho, when you decided which way to go, post it OK? Peace.
