Just great! Here I am transitioning from pedals to rackmount (esp. after hearing what Ted K did with his Vortex) while the rest of you are segueing the *other* direction...don't *I* feel like a chump! ;-) But I got some great rack stuff for fire-sale prices recently, and I plan to run it though my olde-tyme amps, even if I'm dialing up an amp simulation upstream of the real amp. I figger I'll use stompboxes for most gain-related live things, and my toy-based stompbox will have to stay because there is nothing on earth, either analog or digital, that can do what it does. Other than that, I figured that after 20 years of using stompboxes I needed a change. There were sounds in my head that my little zink boxes could not do. If I grow tired of it, I could always go back to stompboxes...but it'd take 50 pounds of stompboxes to get what my mpx500, VF-1, and Vortex can do.... And here's the main thing I tell myself....even if I'm going through a SIMULATED tape echo, and a SIMULATED Plexi Marshall, and a SIMULATED plate reverb, I AM REAL, and that realness will hopefully come through no matter how much digital sleight of hand I decide to use.
