See, I know where your comin from. I have given up multi-fx, along time ago. They just dont have the quality of analog effects, and i could never get close to the sound I hear in my head. thats why I buy single pedals. Hey, you could always have dual pedal boards if worse comes to worse! And another thing, I sure hope that those pedals are true/hardwire bypass, cuz if there not, you clean tone must be butchered!
