In Eleven Eyes, my setup is:
Ibanez 1306 6-string bass ->[pedalboard] Boss
Tuner -> Boss Loop Switcher -> [Boss FX Loop] -> Adrennalinn -> Akai
Deep Impact Bass Synth pedal -> Moogerfooger LowPass Filter -> Splitter
-> volume pedal [/Boss FX Loop] [/pedalboard] -> Radial ProD2 Channel 1,
XLR goes to house PA, parallel out goes to Raven Labs Preamp Channel 1 -> RNC
Compressor (insert) -> DBX Subharmonic Synthesizer (FX Loop) -> Crest
power amp -> Speakers: Trace Elliot 2X10 & 1X15
2nd output of the splitter in pedalboard->
Boomerang -> volume pedal -> Boss MicroMixer
Behringer FCB1010 MIDI-> Axiom 61
keyboard -> IBM Thinkpad T60 2X1.6M Core Duo -> EchoIndigo I/O ->
Boss MiniMixer-> Radial DI Channel 2 -> House PA and Raven Labs Channel

Thinkpad is running Ableton Live running drum &
synth loops, and hosting VSTi's, mostly Mr. Ray for rhodes sounds and Organized
Trio for B3 sounds, plus Minimogue VA, Pluggo, ARP2600VA, and a million other
VST plugins. FX send from Boss mixer goes to drummers headphone amp, who also
gets a send from the trumpet players laptop/key setup. Our drummer is really
good at playing to loops.
I'll probably eventually replace the Boomerang or
at least augment it with Mobius or other loopers on the laptop, but for now the
Boomerang does almost enerything I need and I've used it for years, so it's
really 2nd nature to run it. I recently added the FX loop switcher to the
pedalboard, and it's done a lot to clean up my sound, I can bypass all the
stompboxes when they're not being used.
This sounds like a pretty complex setup when I look
at it on paper, but it sets up pretty quickly. We play about 100 gigs a year
around the West Coast and mountain states, bar gigs, festivals, jazz clubs,
etc., and this setup has been stable and pretty reliable through all of it. I'm
in the middle of mixing a live CD from a couple of shows on our spring tour,
soon you'll be able to hear this stuff in action. For now, you can hear samples
from our CD's at http://www.eleveneyes.org or http://www.myspace.com/eleveneyes
