Conversely, Ken from L'Arc En Ciel (that band I posted) needs to cover decades worth of albums in a big production live show. I was speaking to the singer from Meshiaak last year and all they use are HX Stomps since they're a meat and potatoes band and it's all they need.
It's light, inexpensive and does the job. If all you need is a HX Stomp, then awesome. As long as you're using the tools to serve your music, then use whatever you want. I get both sides of the spectrum, and I personally think it's pointless to argue on one against the other. If we all followed your advice, this forum would cease to exist. But I also understand the wants and needs of a musician is different from player to player. Both analog and digital are great, especially in 2020. Analog can escape digital, but digital can't escape analog. Once the connection is made the player adjusts for it subconsciously. It's because ultimately all digital units must have an analog start and end in order to be processed and heard.
They were totally useable and sounded great. Units like the Digitech GSP 21 that came out in 1990 were used by numerous bands, and at that time we're advertised as the "last word in guitar processors". The fact is that even with old digital processor's latency (not the TC-2290) and subpar quality a lot of the time, they still had a synergistic, bio feedback effect on the user like analog does and were used a lot. With binary (digital) there is a disconnect because of conversion process, and even though it's nearly imperceptable at this point, it's still there and always will be to some extent, due to the nature of the technology. There's no disconnect between the start to the end of the chain plus electical backflow/resonance and heat come into play too. Analog's "magic" is the uninterrpted, synergistic, bio-feedback effect. How well it functions and performs has two aspects factually based performance and functions, and opinion based performance. They are both analog in the respect of manipulating electricity. They're both manipulating electricity and components but using different methods. It just depends on the intended result or functionality intended which is better. The answer to digital vs analog being better is: yes. That binary aspect is just really a set of imprinted static electricity on a medium (like a chip/drive) that tells a machine or circuit how to pulse, more or less. It's just a different form of wave and modulation circuit that's called "digital" because of the binary aspect. Digital is actually a sort of subcategory to analog. If you really think hard about it, analog is all there really is.
