Oh, you can program and configure the heck out of them.  You have N banks
of N patches which are amazingly configurable.  And you get a bunch of
presets you can edit to taste.  One click of a footswitch and you can go
from
an SRV overdrive/wah/vibe to a U2 overdrive/delay/vox model patch.  Great
stuff, though they tend to be solid state, and that means less tone than
a bunch of analog pedals.
