I currently have a goal of getting two signal paths, where one handles the straight guitar sounds in all their distorted glory, and the other is clean and powerful for loops and other sound sources. Right now I have the guitar path pretty well set, with: custom Klein guitar (still being built, hurry up lorenzo!) -> assorted pedals -> mesa triaxis -> intellifex -> echoplexes -> mesa simulclass 2:90 -> mesa 1x12 200W ev's My goal is to have the echoplexes out of that chain, but in parallel, with some sort of mixer that can bring the guitar signal in from different points in its path. I also want to be able to mix other sound sources into the loops, and have some assortment of effects that can be arbitrarily placed before or after the loops. I'll then send it out a clean power amp and pa speakers. Of course, then there is the fairly hopeless goal of keeping things small and reasonably portable. I think I'll try to make some kind of modular thing, where depending on what I'm doing and where, I'll take appropriate pieces. The best mixer choice I've seen is the SwitchBlade 16, a 16x16 crosspoint, fully programmable mixer, in 1 rack space. Real expensive, but probably worth it if ya need it. I think I probably do. Now where are those lottery tickets? A friend of mine has something similar to this. He plays a parker fly, with the piezo pickups going to an Eventide dsp 4000 and various other stuff, while the magnetic pickups go through a triaxis, ensoniq DP/4, and an ADA ampulator. This all mixes together for a stereo pair of echoplexes, which goes out either to his PA or his mixing desk, depending on whether its studio or live. His rig sounds great, he gets some really excellent effects by mixing the piezos and mags with different effects applied to each. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
