Good point, perhaps it helps it to note and a little further clarification among floor pedals there are digital pedals that use some type of DSP ( Digital Signal Processing ) which in fact can be based on modeling i.e. sampling a real hardware units , real spaces , etc..... or can simply be some mathematical algorithm to create generic types of representative sounds.
Then also there are completely analog pedals as Paleolith54 noted . For example there are digital delay pedals and there are also analog delay pedals. I use an all analog MRX Carbon Copy delay.
And to the OP , although I am basically new again to electric guitar as of last fall. I have been associated with audio playback since the 70's and with home studio recording of audio since 2002. Which has certainly helped with a leg up on the learning curve and understanding the basics of guitar amps and FX's
I have since acquired both technologies. I have an all tube all analog amp and I also have a Solid State (SS) smaller practice amp with some limited DSP.
And while I like both, I think there is a real difference in how they feel playing the two different types of amps
From my limited experience . If I were going to go with just one amp. I think I would opt for (as you mentioned), a small watt all tube amp to start, and really explore the tonal options available from just the amp, your guitar, and you hands ....and then perhaps consider some FX pedals to broaden the palate even further, if so desired .
