Re: Set-Up

[Jeff Duke <jeffloops@gmail.com>]

Speaking of multi effect units has anyone tried out the Line 6 HD 500? 48 sec (mono) looper w/dedicated buttons, all of the M13/9 fx(?) says M class fx, plus amp modeling unlike the 13/9. No one carries them locally and I didn't want to buy it just to try it, only to return it. http://line6.com/podhd/multi-effects/

So with that in mind, what are the solutions people have come up with
for traveling and performing with a large variety of gear?
 

Two things:
1. integrated devices. A distortion stomp box and a filter rack effect doesn't make sense, a multi-effect device does. Typically, the highest degree of multi-purpose integration is a (I'm not saying "laptop") computer.
2. find out what you need and leave everything else at home.

Optional:
3. if 2 sometimes changes, make your setup modular. If you already use a computer, this is not so much a consideration, but stilll, you might have an optional monitor or faderbox that you don't need under all circumstances.

And finally:
4. the package is one of the most important aspects when it comes to portability.
