Sometimes, I use a A/B switch to patch my guitar either to FXs (directly to PA) for builting the background loop, or switch to floor stomp boxes (to an tube amp) for solo. > I was not aware that a switcher like the Switchblade could repatch the > *order* or the various effects; are there any other units like that?

Well, to my knowledge, this is the only and the most powerful switch (check out http://www.soundsculpture.com/sculpt7.htm for more info) However, it's very expensive. > Myself, I'm a synth player experimenting with loops, but for performance > purposes I run into a lot of situations where I want to repatch the order > of effects that I use.

An alternatively for me is to use my Yamaha O3D which costs slightly more. I set different snap-shot memories to program the FX routes. If you are using a sequencer in performance, you can even have real-time automation. For example, you can fade-in/out not only the sound source(my guitar) but even the send/return paths to processors and my 2 Echoplexes, in-sync with MIDI. > >I didn't > > get a great view of his pile on the floor, but he is using the > > Rocktron All Access controller.

(I know about the BLUE and ProjeKt 2 shows, too bad that I cannot stay until then.) Alan
