Ok guitar multi-fx
Yeah, it gives you almost everything. But it sounds primitive and frustrating. Interface is awful, and most of the presets sound worse, that stock guitar rig 5. Maybe ok for beginner, but for intermediate it doesn’t make sense.
War Horse
Even in 2024 it's still good, it's true that the technology is old but it still holds up.

Best multi effects bank I have tried
Amp simulators work wonders, clean tones are fantastic, but it takes a bit more work to dial in a good amp sim with distortion. The range of effects and the fact you can download your own effects to the bank is also quite nice. I mainly use it for effects that I don't have in singular pedals, and for an easy noise gate and EQ. Wonderful multi effects rack.
