Re: Vedr. reality vs virtuality

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;-)
