Your pedal probably knows just as much as my entire board, you just don’t see all the options all at once. 
I spent almost a year trying to decide between one multi effects pedal like yours, or a pedal board with individual pedals. (I even made a thread about it.) In the end I went with pedals because I simply did not see myself scrolling through menus to tweak things one at a time. I wanted to have everything laid out in front of me, see what’s dialled to what, and be able to just reach down and tweak a knob.
