    Just bought T.C. Polytune Clip-on...it's great except for one thing.

    How do I use my PC as multi effect?

I can definitely believe that placing the...

    Recording with pedals

    Yeah I think splitting is good to keep your options open then again newbie producers probably waste half their time being paralysed by having too many choices/things they can tweak :)
