Re: Zoom G2 vs Digitech RP150

["Dave O'Heare" <oheare@magma.ca>]

I can't hold back any longer.

My sweetie and I went to see Jethro Tull a couple of weeks ago, and I 
ended 
up chatting with the sound guy afterwards.  Very pro stuff supplied by 8th 
Day Sound, Yamaha PM5D-RH mixer at FOH, flown line array, etc., etc., etc..

The soundie's big gripe?  Ian Anderson was using an SM58 for vocals and a 
Beta 54 for flute, run into a tiny Behringer mixer which fed a pair of 
Zoom 
pedals for reverb and delay.  That was returned to the mixer, and the 
output 
of THAT was sent to FOH.

In all, it sounded pretty good, except for Ian's voice dropping out when 
he 
moved at all off mic.
