multi effects or individual pedals

[KennyKen]

Trade off lang yan....cost vs convenience vs sonic clarity

Sa tugtugan naman,  would the casual listener even notice it? (let alone could tell the difference sa analog vs. Digital)....Highly unlikely

Unless guitar nerd yun  ...

But we cannot dismiss the fact that Digital MFX Pedals have come a long way, lumalapit na sila sa tunog ng analog, ikumpara mo yung entry level ZOOM 1010 from 15 years ago vs the entry level G1x0n

multi-effects:
-cheap
-easy to set-up
-easier to resell
-typical/boring
-not good sounding but OK enough

analog stomp boxes:
-very expensive
-sounds better (most of the time)
-harder to carry
-bragging rights
-modular

for me, its about the ability to make adjustments on the fly while playing live. i find it easier to sculpt my sound on the fly using individual effects. not so easy to adjust parameters on a multi in the middle of a song... hope this helps.
