Haha, well my co-worked said he managed to break his Boss pedal at a gig when he jumped off a drum riser. It's excellent for recording and I'd still use the amp modeling for live stuff, but I just feel a bit off with the effects, because most of the effects are mixed into the patches so you can't get a truly stompbox feeling. Ie. If I want to improv or jam on stage, there's nothing I can do with effects.

But for recording, not much touches the pedal.
