heh, i got no correct answer as well.
just imho, if you find that the processor really affect your sound, then dont use it.
Thats will be your preference, with no processor that is.
we have a choice and we make sure the choice we chose, work for us...if it doesnt, then perhaps we can waste more money, more time, to confirm what we like and what we dont like, what we can sacrify to arrive at a conclusion, of what work for us, what doesnt.
It will be an going process if really wanna keep up to date on the gear available which assist us to make music.
If not, just stick to what you like and concentrate on making music you like, away from all these gear talk/pics whatever. Stick to what you know and like while main focus on the music.
imho
