Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Hi,
   
  This is a fact, the device is built like that. But; as a pedal freak I own a lot of new models and old ones too. 
  Two weeks ago I just bought Zoom's new model G9.2tt and you know what? It's built the same way. There are also some stompboxes (Boss OD1 etc...) but the whole system is the good old, well known thing. I do not even see anything wrong in that; the character of the preamp is one of the most important factor in the sound you tweak.
   
  Greetings

I know this group isn't particularly active anymore, but maybe a few 
folks still read this...

One thing that always seemed really odd to me about the way the VF-1 
is set up is the fact that the distortions and overdrives are part 
of the same module as the amp sims. That means you can't put an 
overdrive box in front of an amp. Further, the only way to set the 
overdrive intensity is with the gain function, but that's only a 3-
way toggle (low, medium, and high).

Why on earth did they design it this way? The predecessor of the 
VF1, the SE70, had separate overdrives that could be turned on 
before the amp sims. Plus those overdrives had a fully adjustable 
gain knob (0-100).

I don't get it: seems like this really limits the amount of control 
we have on the VF-1. Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Bert
