Kris, do you use an electro-acoustic or piezo? i'm thinking about playing live with ONLY my nylon string guitar and SooperLooper. i'm a bit disappointed with the piezo microphones i tried so far, so i'm wondering... ps: i own a micro-modular, i love it and it's so conveniant to travel with. i haven't reached the limits of this small unit ________________________________________ Stéphane Obadia http://www.clumsybeats.org | > Nice to see you were drawn to the acoustic guitar, J.J.
