Re: Roland AC33 w/looper

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

Hey Per, on the AC33,  You can turn the chorus off or on independently  
but you can't adjust the reverb independently. so far the only thing  
I've tried out through the AC33 with that kind of low end was a Bass  
Ukulele (I'm not kidding, with big silicon strings like the old Asbury  
bass though less sticky and easier to use, Rick has one) .It had  
decent bottom and might work for you, but really the BA330 would be  
the ideal one for you, Its between an SM350 and an SM450 in size but  
much lighter in weight, at 13.8 kilos, you would still need a hand  
cart of some kind to roll it around. pretty expensive though. You can  
turn on and off the effects for different channels on the BA330,  no  
looper though....
  Speaking of traveling light , busking, and battery power, Onyx   
Ashanti who played a great high energy set at Y2K9 has taken the  
technology of busking to a whole new level, he described his busking  
rig to me while he was here; he takes his Mac Book, a small interface,  
a wind controller,  head set mic, a portable pa, and a sizable 12 volt  
battery for handling power, and a folding stand, on an ultra lite bike  
trailer and cruises to his busking gig in Berlin on a matching ultra  
lite folding bike!  He was controlling the computer from both his wind  
controller and an i-phone strapped to his arm. When He came to Santa  
Cruz he brought his bike and trailer with him and road to and from the  
venue that way. Onyx, where ever you are, I salute you and your green  
rig...
