Re: Minimalist rigs, form factors, etc.
Hey Mark!, glad to see ya again, and glad to be a glitch-chick influence!
lol! -sounds like a cool band name!
Yes, I've got a relatively minimal setup too, similar to what I was
using in Palo Alto. My preamp is simply a Pandora, into a volume pedal,
space station, and then into an EDP, followed by a lil' teeny amp. I'll
probably be going with a lil' Vox at the moment. -am using an FCB to
control the EDP.
Incidentally, it only took me less than five mins. to program a bank for
the EDP, -by myself. -why is it that people seem to be having such a hard
time with them?... -just wondering...
Anyway, as far as a pedalboard-EDP combo, That actually might not be a
difficult thing to accomplish now. I bet you could modify a single rack
space to mount an EDP above or below a foot controller. At the moment, I
keep my EDP on top of my amp. <smile> -simple and easy! lol!
Anyway, best of luck on yer' new set-up! Keep us apprised, K? Talk
soon!...
Smiles,
Cara
