Personally, I find a JC-120 and a Fender Band Master into a 15-inch Bag End speaker is a nice (and loud) combination that seems to handle all my wicked-wacky synth-a-like looped tonalities. Tube warmth and depth with skreeming high end. And moving it all around keeps me fit and trim, which allows me to have a beer or two during a gig. The great thing about looping is that occasionally, should the need arise, during a set I can leave the stage to buy a drink, return and pick up the . looping thread where I left it. David P.S. I feel compelled to plug ex-Boston-based-musician-and-fellow-international-traveler-dude-with-effects -and-creativity, Jack Drag. Any musician who can entitle his songs "Could Have Been Big" and "Beer Helps Us Cope" is a winner in my book. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "L.
