Starve your Fear, Feed your Dream!
I found this to be an interesting topic...

Here is my take...
It is a great point the author makes but as others have mentioned each pedal serves a purpose and each has unique identity. Now with stacked OD's I still use the volume knob, tone knob, pickup selector for all of the different combinations. Even sometimes an extra amp. While the average listener won't know the difference a discerning musician will.
Please also note that if it is just a jam, one stomp box for simplicity if at all needed. For a gig it is the opposite way.
