Not originally. When I put those on there a few years ago (2003), I had always played both 1)shoed and 2)standing, but had just started using a non-rack setup which didn't include a mixer and manipulating the level knobs was the only way I had of fading my [fixed feedback] loops in and out without a bunch of volume pedals. The knobs are actually rubber 'feet' like you'd use on the bottom of a rack or road case, and I made labels for them so I could tell the setting at a glance in dim stage light. After using that setup for a short time, I was really missing the mixer, and tore apart the rig yet again. Then for a while (and I'm sure this is a familiar situation for many of you) I was in a period where I still hadn't had time to finish the rack/pedalboard overhaul but wasn't playing out all that often, so I was just bringing along a duffel bag full of pedals and setting up differently each show. During this time, I also started doing a lot more looping of ethnic and acoustic instruments, which I generally do sitting down; prior to this, almost all of my public looping had been standing and electric. In the setup in the picture at <http://www.myspace.com/nimbletunes>, though, I'm running each looper through its own channel on the mixer (except the Echopro, which I'm using to post-process and loop sub-mixes), so I'm not using the foot knobs at all. -t- <http://www.myspace.com/nimbletunes> 'Rantai' CD: <http://cdbaby.com/cd/timnelson1> 'Mesh' CD: <http://cdbaby.com/cd/timnelson2> Chain Tape Collective: <http://www.ct-collective.com/> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
