Don’t know how it is with other people but I tend to go in circles. I started playing on computer, after that I went full analog, then came the Line6 Helix and sold half of my pedals collection and now I’m with pedals again. For me the biggest reason is that I don’t use the computer anymore is that I sit behind a computer all day and I wanted a hobby away from the screen.
For guitar I still do everything on the Helix but on bass I prefer pedals. To me fiddling with knobs has something magical and I enjoy the journey what suits me best the most.
Actually I only use the pedalboard to play with effects (not that often sadly). My default signal chain is bass > compressor > amp.
