When I do have crunch, which isn’t often, I prefer the amp to do the work, rather than a pedal or other box(es).
Yes, it is the pedal (not the guitar) you are playing when you stomp on one. And, yes, if I want some bite, I'll turn up the volume on the guitar and get the amp to give it to me rather than some DOD Grunge pedal.
