Individual pedals vs. multi effects

I’ve come full circle, after starting with a Zoom B1on, then a B3n, and then going analog and owning a full pedalboard of excellent, high end pedals - I’ve sold them all off and if I ever have a pedal again it’s going to be a Helix, probably a HX Stomp :slight_smile:

I actually like the sound of effects in the DAW better than analog pedals. Pedals are fun toys to collect, but are kind of ass for utility when recording. Much more convenient to apply effects in software, and I finally had to admit - at this point the good plugins sound better (or at least as good) too. To me anyway.

I would only buy a pedal again if I were planning on playing live. And then it would be a Helix.
