Multi-Effects

Multi-effects units are a combination of some or all of the above. They usually have a cover and fold up into a suitcase type thing and lay on the floor. They have a lot of different effects built into one unit, and you can program them in any way you like. For instance, you can give them numbers (shown on a digital readout) according to where they are used in the set, so you can just tap through.

The only problem with a multi-effect unit is that if it goes out, you're hosed. With separate units, if one dies, you just remove it from the chain of boxes and go on with your day.
