Pedals or FX rack for your Electric Guitar rig?
Do you prefer pedals, rack, or a combination for your electric guitar rig? I used to use a small rack which was just a midiverb (just for solos and some chorus on clean intros) along with a Furman power conditioner. Guitar straight into my Marshall and no pedals.
The past few years I've moved onto a pedal board with some pedals going into the front of the amp and others into the FX loop. No rack. What about you? I imagine many of you have done both and it all comes down to what fits the needs of the day.

Small pedal board with flight case. 2 compressors, tremelo, chorus, AC30 clone overdrive, exotic BB plus overdrive, and Fuchs Plush overdrive, tuner. Amp has reverb. Also using a switching unit on the pedal board so I don't have to tap dance too much. Can add my acoustic DI into the spare channel on the switching unit if I want effects on the acoustic. Works great and is small and lightweight.

Both.
I use a 16 space rack with a mixture of tube rack and vintage pedal effects controlled by a switching matrix. The matrix comes out to a remote switching unit with my buffer, tuner, wah, overdrives and volume pedals. As Bruce Lee once advised, over the years I've pretty much gotten rid of what doesn't work, kept what does and am happy with the result.

I use a modelling amp with the effects built in.

I've used both and a combination of the two but I like pedals better. I like the interface much better, simple reach down and tweak rather then tap and find. Plus those effects units have thousands of things I'll never use and for some reason that drives me crazy.

Pedal board for me. Four of my eight spots are filled with three overdrive/distortion pedals ranging from mild to wild, and one tremolo pedal. Any further pedals are on the back burner while I save up for my next amp kit.
