Hey tim Nelson,

        Someone suggested an interesting mod for the boomerang pedalboard.
this one would involve using a momentary switch on the record/play swutch.
This way, when you step on it , it would record, and when you release it
would play. Is this mod possible? Would improve the timing a bit?

Okay, back to looping....

We discuss individual pieces of looping gear a great deal, but when it
comes to containing it and carrying it around as a system, are any of you
using innovative racks/pedalboards/stands/cases that transport, set up and
tear down particularly well? Any ideas that would benefit a looper playing
on a multiple bill (you know, 6 acts on a crowded stage with ten minutes to
set up between, and no sound check...)? Ways to "smallerize", yet retain
versatility? Original ways to avoid having to unpack, plug in, unplug and
re-pack every patch cord every time ya play out? Effective methods for
making sure that all of your equipment ends up making it home from the gig
with you?
