I don't mess with physical pedals much, but I use the software equivalents on a regular basis in my DAW. (For me, hardware vs. software arguments are pointless if I get the sound I want.) Guitar-centric effects can produce some crazy and fun sounds, actually.

FWIW and more for the people that don't know, the use of guitar pedals fairly common with synthesizers these days. To the average synth person, a pedal is just another flavor of module with different form factor.

Heck, I was using my DAW as a "guitar pedal" the other day. It makes no difference to me how all the pluggy bits plug together as long as it still makes noise. (I don't know squat about playing a guitar, but I still got some awesome and super unique samples though.)
