Re: Sound vs function

I second Per's statement. In answer to your question, easier ?  I don't think so.  What could be easier than having an entire recording studio at your finger tips for live performance?  I acknowledge the hardware/software proclivities resident on our list, and I don't think either one is 'better' than the other, however, when 'easy' comes into the conversation,  the carrying and ability to avoid import/export scenarios wins out for me.  Hope that's helpful.

I think you should keep in mind that whatever live electronics setup
you go for it must be just as playable as your guitar is - if not it
will drag down your performance. The gear should not be just as good
sounding but also a as playable an instrument as the guitar. At that
level you will start growing amazing meta instrument chops!
