Indeed. One world, one love, one piece of gear. (from a sign in the 
closet at Hyde Street Studios ca. 1982).

I also include recording and editing equipment in the big modular 
instrument loop. To me looping is sort of live multitrack production, 
like effects manipulation is sort of live luthiery. The 
instrument/effect distinction being discussed seems to have more to 
do with the how than the what. ever.
