Thanks for the $.02 brother just put it on ma bill:-) I ve seen used patchbays and things like the midi patchmate or the switchblade (which i could never afford) but i donīt know if i would really need something like that.I hate having things that i donīt use 100% and steal space and add weight. So far i have this configuration: Roland GP 100 guitar preamp-line 6 Echo pro-EDP- Gutiar Amp Roland GR33 synth-repeater- to P.A. This way i get clean synth loops apart from the EDP guitar ones.The cool thing about the GR33 is that it comes with distortion effects and The obvious thing is to put the cool stomp boxes after the Echo pro but like i said it starts getting noisy and the tone changes. I donīt know how people like fripp and belew make their salad without patch bays their sound doesnt seem to be suffering and i know they are using a combination of both as well Tips are welcome and just send me the bill guys... cu L.a Repeater > > At 02:37 PM 12/11/2002 -0500, Louie Angulo wrote: > > > > One of my quests is still to mix all my loopers and > digital rack gear with my favorite stomp boxes mainy > compressors fuzzboxes and wahs but as i hooked them > up > in the back of the external control jacks from my > roland GP100 preamp i noticed that it changes their > tone quality.
