Actually,trick is in preamp.
Tube heads have preamp and amp section together while in rack setups it's usually splited. Now,amp section normally stay untouched while preamp goes through changes. Those changes are not that are not that big if preamp has one-two-three or four channels but if you want about 100 presets to store inside the same preamp and change them via Midi,it requires more job. When you have that done,it's easy to connect EFX unit to it and run it together,by Midi OUT/Through or som. And yeah,they are some tube heads on the market with full Midi,must check them for sure!! -------------------- Youtube

As Muris says, you could do both at once if the midi pedal was up to it. MIDI has facility for channels and program chang messgaes, you could set your amp up as once channel and the effect as another and have them work together, your pedal sending the appropriate messages to each device. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
