Only if the gig paid me twice as much. :)
Seriously, though, you bring up a third system that I would use...I would use my
notebook and rack, but go directly into my tube amp rather than the Mackie board
and PA. This would be for the looping gigs where I used my electric, rather than
acoustic, and I didn't mind playing in mono, but still wanted to apply some
bizarre effects to my sound. Or I could just ust my notebook and the tube amp,
or just my rack and the tube amp...lots of options to completely butcher the
clean and warm tone of a Mesa Boogie Mark I.

Hi !
Tell me have you ever tried to incorporate both rigs for a gig ?
Right
Kris,i have two separate rigs,one to play with a rock n roll band and one
for the looping,it feels so good to play through a real tube amp with
those little eccentric stomp boxes,but off course there is
always another effect i want to add to my already full peadlboard and
relearn to tap dance again,but this forces me to keep it at minimal.With
my loop rig on the other hand is a joy to have this huge palette
of sounds at the touch of a button...although sometimes cold to swim
in a sterile sea of virtuality;-) Luis
