Thing i have been most pleased with since i moved from using the boss GT-8 to using all single fx is the fact that when i was using the GT8 i most certainly didn't have the compressor or eq set up worth a damn. I play through a Mesa boogie triple rectifier - turns out I really don't need a compressor or an eq - sounds WAY better without it....

i read everywhere that using delays in the fx loop of ur amp is the thing to do...why is that? how is it better than just running it last in the line of fx?
