first! lol nice vid

@Orangeblud21 - I prefer individual pedals. multi-fx floor units are usually ok at best. but fun for practicing.

@andrwrhds21 i play a little less.. also using the big magic box =P is great but mostly the effects are of lesser quality. many options tough. when i perform i got like 50 seconds to set up on stage so i prefer my big box. onstead of the 300 cables ;-)

but quality will go up over time. so just dont worry. just take the multi pedal things for recording and the big box for performances =D

what are your thoughts on digital multi-effects pedals like the pod x3 live, or boss gt-10? I hear vastly differing opinions about them. Some guys seems to swear by analog pedals, others seem to think its no biggie either way. I own an x3 live, and to my ears the effects sound great (which i suppose is all that really matters at the moment)...of course ive only been playing for 2 1/2 years, and have much more to learn.
