Stream of consciousness blabbing about the Pros and Cons of these two pieces of gear, and digital amps in general. Let me know if you have further questions, I'm sure I forgot things and probably make mistakes but you'll get a general idea of this stuff. 

-Warning-

 I use very aggressive words (such as "terrible", "unusable", and "sounds like a fart") when describing some of these tones. This is purely my opinion and has no basis in fact. Horrific tone to one person might be heavenly to another, so feel free to 100% disagree with everything I'm saying!

This was really cool. I’m very much a amp&pedal kind of guy and if the pedal has more than three or four knobs I usually don’t buy it cause it gives me option blindness so to speak. So getting something like an axe-fx hasn’t ever been a reasonable thing to do for me. Also, every review I’ve watched had a target audience of people already know something about this so this vid really gave me some insights. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Good to hear! I'm in the middle on the option blindness. Sometimes I like the options, sometimes I don't. One place I routinely do not like it is with any kind of drive, as once I find the sound I just leave it there and never touch it. For example, I use the J rockett dude, 4 knobs (volume, gain, treb, bass), set it and forget it. Wampler tumnus, 3 knobs, set it and forget it. Just bought a J rockett Archer, 3 knobs. On the other hand I've played a chase bliss Brothers overdrive (look it up if you've never seen one). It can definitely sound good, but as usual you set it and forget it. Doesn't really seem worthwhile when the pedal has about a thousand knobs and switches, and is $350 new (sometimes $500 used!).
