Multi Effects Vs Pedals, to pod or not to pod..that is the question Options

[El Fortinero]

Intro:

One big issue that is tormenting my days this year is the idea of having a personal sound. such a big issue indeed, isn´t it?.

Every time i go to play to bars, pubs, etc. the guitar amp is a cheap Marshall, (or worst ) and you have more or less the same sound that have the other guitar players. And of course one wants to "sound different" and to avoid the Marshall tone as much as possible (at least in my case) (Marshall versatility sucks btw)

So many of this places, where 3 or more bands are going to play, just prepare the stage with only one set of amps, drum, etc, in order to not loose time changing the equipments. Therefore, in many places you can´t bing your killer top line amp (if you have one), or you will have to share it, which takes us again to the main problem.



So the only solution (?) is to have your personal pedals or multi effect or rack or whatever, and here comes the question of the thread:

what would you do for example if you have the money to buy a pod hd 500, would you buy it? or would you buy the one effects pedals?

My problem is: I play some mix between hard rock and nu metal, I need a dist pedal, a whammy, a delay and a wha wha (i have already one)

so i'll have to buy the delay, the dist (i am considereing according to Gabriel's advice the jekyll and hide from visulasound)l and the whammy,

but all this effects also comes in the pod hd 500,

So,what would you buy? a pod hd 500 or separates effects?
