Finding that perfect sound has been a mission of mine for years. Some might call me extra, but I'm always searching for new ways to push my tone to the next level.
Hardware all the way for me - nothing beats the immediacy of stomping on a real effect. When I'm playing live, the last thing I want is any lag between hitting a note and hearing it come back through my rig.
Being able to fully process into both my DAW and PA gives me total clarity and control too. It lets me craft my tone exactly as I hear it in my head. Having that level of confidence in your sound is huge on stage.
These days I blend the best of digital and analog. A few choice pedals mixed with plugins allows me to experiment seamlessly. As long as I'm happy with what's coming from my amp, that's all that really matters in the end. It's an ever-evolving journey, but it's a fun quest for sure!
