my biggest beef with multi-fx is the fact that if the delay sounds cool, but the phaser doesnt, then whats the point of having it if you need a good phaser. thats just an example.

another example is if something happens with it, batteries die, screen cracks, anything, you just lost ALL your effects. sometimes a beer can slip out of your hand inbetween songs and now instead of losing one or two pedals you lost everything.

and you have to cycle through patches. i like single effectxs bc everything is right in front of your face. if you have patch A thats delay, then patch B is delay and phaser, and patch C is phaser and chorus, an d pathc D is chorus, if you want to go from D to A thats a lot of clicking. then u might click 4x instead of 3x and now ur all ****ed up.

also i feel if the effects were so good, multis wouldnt be so much cheaper than buying single effects. you cant get the same circuitry in the same order in a mutl ithn u can on single effects, so idk if all the effects will suffer, but a lot of them might.

but i always think live. if youre a bedroom guy, those things are great for ****ing around, but i never buy anything i wouldnt bring on stage with me.

take this for example :
http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Line6-Floor-POD-Plus-Multi-Effects-Pedal?sku=150212

distortion aside (bc its whack) thats cheaper than a DL4, it doesnt make sense to me that the delays would be as good as the dl4 if its cheaper, PLUS all that other ****. idk. plus its so little. idk it doesnt make sense. but try some **** out and see if u like how it sounds.
