Or (like me) you can use a combination of the two...I run a Pod Xt live, a Boss PW-10 wah, a few Boss stompboxes and a Digitech Space station...is a mission to set up, because of the Pod and Space Station(and a digitech Jam Man...but that I run completely seperately...just use to plya back loops and samples),the use of a pedal board is impossible...would be way too big...but I love what I get out of it.
