Multi
- Usually lots of variety in one unit for each effect type (5 compressors, 8 choruses, etc.)
- But limited to what the manufacturer ships
- No level matching worries, but…
- Probably limited number of effects
- Depending on how much you pay, may not be able to move order of effects
- Priority: Convenience
