Dear Ted, I adore your artistry. from Lux Aeterna to your beautiful Y2k poster work. that said, I'd like to challenge you to come to Y2K9 next year with one line 6 DL-4, one overdrive pedal and one reverb pedal. I think you'd play a fantastic set with only that stuff. Don't get me wrong, because I love all the things that your throw into the mix, but I'd love to see you play a simple heartfelt set where you weren't so beat up by your gear mass. Now, I think I'm unconciously talking to myself here, as well: I played a show that meant a lot to me last night (playing my dayglo orange set for my peers in the goth scene) and I took a rack with an electrix repeater (Bill's because mine doesn't seem to work anymore), an EDP , a DL-4 (with a boss intellishifter and a cheesy alesis nano verb) and my Looperlative. I just had fucking fits with my gain structures and was completely unable to use my Looperlative because I just didn't have enough time at sound check (and I had an hour and a half to get it together). It just totally fucked with my head not to use the Looperlative which was the only sophisticated looper I took on my europe/uk tour last summer. Every time I do a show, someone comments on how much stuff I bring. I always ignore them. Last night someone mentioned it again as I loaded out and, depressingly, I thought, "yeah, no fucking kidding" It's the first time I"ve ever been that demoralized. Maybe less actually IS more, eh? See you at Y2K9 whether your rig is big or small. I look forward to it, buddy!
