I went Option 2 with a Boss ME-90. Already have speakers, don't need yet another amp, has Boss Tone Studio similar to Katana for programming and exchanging patches. Can plug into a PA, or just bring a PA speaker instead of a cab, if I'm playing outside of the house. Already has foot switches if I want to use it like a "normal" pedalboard
#Amp vs. Multi-FX vs. Modeler

muti FX pedal, because it does EVERYTHING that both of those other options does.
think of something like the Neural Quad Cortexc
or Line6 Helix
cheaper ones then
im just saying
the capabilities for them are much hgiher

The ME-90 is set up so that you choose a bank and 1 of 4 patches (like bank 1, patch 2). So you could program your bank(s) to match up with your set.
While you're within a bank, all the different patches are just one foot switch away, so you can change from patch 1 to patch 2, 3, 4 etc with just one tap of a foot switch.
On the individual patch there's a ctrl foot switch, so you can program the Ctrl switch to activate further effects like modulation or drives. So for one song, you could leave it on a single patch, and then kick on the modulation or drive for your lead sound or whatever
I could make a video for you if you want to understand it further
Yeah just let me know 👍 happy to knock out a quick 1 or 2 minute video since no one ever explains these things
I feel like the learning curve is actually lower
Let me knock together a video of what I mean, the manual mode is great
Hopefully that helps
I think there's 9 that can't be changed, P1-P9 (so 9x4 = 36 patches) and then 9 that can be programmed as you like, U1-U9 (so another 36 patches)
