Good deal. Hope you find a solution you can work with!

Yes they are. You might have to prepare settings teaked for each one!

Classic style tube amps typically work best with pedals. That's the topology they were developed for. Digital modelling amps are more typically all-in-one solutions. They can work with pedals, but typically the goal is to have it all in one unit.

Friend of mine has the Line 6 Helix pedal (the expensive one). Been at his house all morning having a play and I'm surprised how easy it is to use. He runs it straight through his band PA when he plays live but if I was to go through an amp, what's the best type to get. I like an amp on stage so would rather go down this path than through the PA.

[p]Those are great units if you can afford them!
