I swing bimodal on this. For a while I enjoy the most exotic modular patches and loaded pedalboard. Then for months I am all about piano and acoustic guitar, as vanilla as can be.

It’s all so deep I’m not going run out of fun in any mode.

I'm the same on the guitar side. I'll go weeks using a fractal fm9 straight into the PA. it's like playing through a computer which is awesome. however...

I'll get real sick of the complexity and go back to my cranked tube amp and one overdrive pedal.

If I had to choose one, I couldn't.

100%, there's weeks I just plug straight into an amp because that feels right! At the end of the day it's great to have options.
