This, a nice guitar, and some cables are all you really need as a guitarist. This really clobbers the old Digitech multi-fx pedals of yore. A fully analog chain hits different, but you're talking 5-10x the price just to line up an amp, delay, chorus, drive, and reverb, but even then you're locked into just one tone (amazing as it may sound). I have both setups, and they each have their places. For example, I've yet to find a solid-state distortion chain that does my baritone guitar justice at high gain. But if I want to play a telecaster with glassy cleans or some crunch? I'll take whatever is most convenient. I can't be bothered to lug an amp and pedalboard around just to get marginally better tone.

However; the Cube Baby, at Temu, Wish, and Banggoods or whatever can't be deal posted here. So I'm letting you know you may be surprised how much of this it can do for just $35. Always check your seller.
Moped vs Motorcycle, yeah its cheaper.. but THERE IS a difference.
Oh and KEEP all the OS's and programs you paid for! Linuxmint can install a dual boot system for you in about 20m. With fully built up linuxmint. No crapware. Not freeware. And its secure open source.
So that's all great for recording and testing. Looper, drums, you name it. However I would not even want to depend on a laptop for a gig, or keep up with it on jam sessions.
B. The Cube Baby fits in your pocket and is already a stomp pedal too. Adding a loop peddle is still not more expensive, or bigger.
C. The multi box here is more than capable and fine I'm sure. Have at it. But if the maker/sellers didn't want to embrace an all knob, ultra portable, rechargeable, no screen to break, durability and pro built tones, with enough range of tones to cover nearly any band, then they can just keep on squirming about the fact the Cube Baby is a far better value.
Get them both and compare. But not knowing about the Cube Baby could cause many to wish they did.
And anyone assuming it sucks; because it's $35 then can pay more. Some people actually want to overpay. So I always say THIS IS SLICK DEALS!
Took me a while to configure jackd using qjackctl and finally I'm able to hear my guitar with the FX on. I'm using Behringer UM2 as the audio card.
I installed both Rakarrack v0.6.1 and the newer Rakarrack-plus v1.2.4, I also installed lots of effects from the github rkrlv2.
There seems to be a little latency though. It's fun anyway.
Multieffects are a wonderful value, but I've learned I prefer individual pedals. I want to see a different looking box that I associate with a particular sound.
That mindset is very common with synth/keyboard players who have put in the time to go through all the menus and learn all the buttons and knobs on their gear. They usually have a strong mental map of what preset slots contain which specific sounds.

That said; I don't give a shit if your pick either one. It would not be bad if the bigger one here fit you better. BUY IT. My original SHORT point was you might not know The Cube Baby does most of that, plus some only it can do and cost just a slick deal $35. AND you can only find about about it in comments here, not normally allowed to regular SD post.
So, you get people telling you they should not be compared; when it's the first thing you should compare and would be shocked if you have not already heard.
And you should compare the integrity of posters too; while you are at it. Because shills and sellers post BS in here OFTEN.
Competition: GET USED TO IT!

I know the main in/out of the Cube baby feels instant. And to be clear; I prefer a multi FX unit over the computer; but use both. Computer for kitchen sink and free to add, as I said for studio etc... Not my preference live performing. Or even informal jam sessions. Hold on everybody; Windows requires me to call them and buy an update in order to play lead together!
And having a $35 option is a big deal! Not that this $147 can't be better for some.
