Before I got the Zoom G2 (8 years ago? 10 years ago?) I had a board full of individual pedals but soon after getting the Zoom I sold them all. The Zoom's preset patches were unsuitable but the 40 User Presets means there is plenty of space to set up your own - Tremolo, Acoustic Guitar, Chorus, Shadows echos, Slapback echo, Edgy distort, Vibrato, etc.
The Tremolo, for example, can be set up using normal speed and depth, but it also has 'waveshape' options for the modulation - rising sawtooth, falling sawtooth and triangular, each of which is appropriate to different tremolos on 'classic' amps and pedals.
You can also combine effects. such as tremolo with a little sweetening of reverb.
