A floor board like the Pod XT or Korg Toneworks gives you a much, much broader range of sounds than an amp's built in effects can give you.

If you only have one sound or two, an amp alone is a bit simpler to operate. But if you go for a wide variety of tones, you can't do without a pedal these days, even with a good amp.
