No. Pedals are not modeling. It's completely different thing. Modeling is taking samples of something and more or less recording it's values in computer algorithms for use later. A pedal is more like a filter for your signal.
Some people like pedals to create the overdrive they want rather then the amp. My Fender Twin for example simply will not overdrive, it just gets louder as you turn it up so I use a Tube Screamer with it. I also have a 22 watt amp that does have an overdrive channel in it that I like very much so it doesn't need an over drive pedal however I do use a fuzz pedal in front of that.
