Hi-ho, stereo! Stereo, at least when I'm playing guitar and looping is pretty much a necessity in my book. The last time I played a Y2K fest in Santa Cruz I went small(er) and my rig was the one pictured at the link below: <https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1222372850122&set=t.1552981135&type=3&theater> My regular, slightly larger rig that I play at home and anywhere where I get a little more time to set up is pictured here: <https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150535067268972&set=a.42268958971.50665.30024123971&type=3&theater> As you can see in both, I don't use amps or cabs anymore, my chiropractor bills eventually cured me of that. I use a couple of little Mackie SRM150s mounted on sawed off mic stands. What they lack in low-end they make up in loudness. They cut through pretty well. The house PA can always provide the low-end thump to the audience. Low-end and stereo don't mix really well, in fact when I play bass I eschew FX entirely (other than looping) and play in straight mono. If there is no house PA I have a pair of big Mackie SRM450s that I can wire up to the SRM150s. Together it's a really big, satisfying, hi-fi sound. I need stereo because I like to pan sounds around the room a lot. And most mono FX sound pretty tame compared to stereo versions. And a lot of the stuff I do in MaxMSP would be pretty ho-hum in mono. If I could afford it, I'd even go quad like my pal Jeff Kaiser. But I figure I have enough stuff to worry about at present.
