The Tech 21 pedals, especially the Character series, fall into this category.

I only make the point so that you don't discount some excellent pedals because they are "pedals" or because they don't employ digital modeling.
Point taken - I'd not even considered the differences among pedals. I'm stuck in Tube Amp 101 without managing a passing grade, but I appreciate the clarification.
