Som Wardner this’d this.
Keith Levine had a beautiful phased/chorus guitar sound that no one really does at all

By beautiful I meant pummelling and noisy

Mutli Multi-FX Units
Multi-fx (largely) sound like balls. Easy.
I’m much happier since I switched back to individual pedals. I think it’s because of the multi-FX I had (Boss ME-50) which was pretty wicked for what I needed at the time, but the split second of where if cut my sound out as it switched banks etc started to do my head in. I know modern ones won’t do that but I just like adding a new pedal to my board every so often now anyway. I started off just adding pedals alongside the multi FX, then dropped it entirely and haven’t really looked back.
Also I’m not sure my brain is good enough these days to properly suss out all the stuff the new multi FXs will do to get the most out of it where as a physical board of pedals makes more sense to me. Until one of the bastards starts buzzing and I can’t work out which one or why.
I like individual pedals and I like having them on a table in front of me for some hardcore knob twiddling action. Just the volume pedal on the floor.

I can see the appeal of that but I can also see myself getting very confused very easily. I’m not the most knowledgeable of musicians - I just know if I crank the dial on the green one it goes WHHHHHIIIIIRRRSHHHHHHPUTPUTPUTPUTSHHHHHHHHHHWHHHOOOOOAAA and I like that.

Love Line6.
Needed a new amp and pedals recently so just said fuck it and got the Amplifi 75 watt amp.
Amp, modelling and multifx all in one.
Has an app for it and you can download settings from online and use a board for changing stuff on the fly:

I barely know what this is but I think I love it.
Because without individual guitar pedals, Knobs youtube channel wouldn’t exist and that’s one of the best things on the internet.

I like one knob one function and getting away from menu diving.

This is the only thing I occasionally use my multi fx for: it has a volume pedal which is sensitive and robust and I love it. However it does (I think) cause a slight gain to my signal, even when I’m not using any of the onboard fx which is bothering me so I’m really in the market for a fairly cheap stand-along volume pedal, any recommendations?
I went with a Ernie Ball VP Jr. Mine is a very low budget pedal board (Behringer & Donner ahoy!) but after doing some research it seems anything cheaper than that will not give you a smooth volume sweep and/or won’t last very long.

I’ve always liked individual pedals great for procrastinating could make a new pedal board out of the ones that I have in my draw.
I do think that over the last few years amp modelling has got better see the kemper as the best, most expensive example.

One of my favourite EHX pedals.

I think my distrust of multi-fx stems from growing up in the 90’s surrounded by zoom 505s and awful-sounding Korg units (I started on a Korg G3).
On the other hand, I love every aspect of guitar pedals. Ticks the obsessive collector box, can spend hours tinkering with settings/combinations, rewarding to buy a £20 kit and build a £200 pedal (if it works), and most importantly I enjoy the attention from other guitarists at gigs when I unveil this two-tier monstrosity.
