Apart from Synthesizers i find analogue Hardware incredible unwieldy. I remember a time when i was running my set through various Hardware FX and got annoyed about all that stuff laying around. I must admit, that i find it more fun playing the drums then experimenting with sounds and FX. I installed NI Guitar Rig and started patching my set through it. Great fun. I recorded some playing around.
down pitched delay FX
drums with a harmonized filter FX channel
high compressed & pitched drum FX
long reverb with automated harmonies
