So tell us a bit more,i see some pedals,how is it all connected?

[luftguitar]

Hello, I turn the pedals and racks in Switch GCX the Voodoo Lab, and put in the drawer below, some use. But the picture was wearing differently, but in theory this is how the connection, and I trigger with Midi control pedal GCX presets I program.

I like the little paint brush 

[luftguitar]

hehehe cool, the brush is a fundamental part of my rig!

...The Quadraverb has had a makeover, I never liked the original colour of the display so changed it to a green one ...

That Quadraverb would look awesome paired with a MP-2!

(That Quadraverb would look awesome paired with a MP-2!), That's whats in my live rig and my QV is really early one with green screen, also a midverb 4 and IPS33 smart shift and 8 channel mixer velcroed to the bottom of the rack

one configuration of rack that I use, there are a few, this is just one.  I would like to make it bigger but the more I have the more I have to leave behind if I travel abroad and then it's pointless.  I'll be lucky if I get a rockmaster or MP1 to France/Belgium/Holland!

That's a pretty clean and no-frills rack, RG.  I don't see why you couldn't take that on tour.   

[rabidgerry]

I know you'd think it right?  But travel restrictions on luggage ect will have a part to play getting on and off planes.

There is a Boss GT5 and external footswitch to go as well.

I switch between preamps BTW.  I also have an ART Reverb unit I would like to take as well but there is no point now since I might not be able to take this.

I reckon I could take a pre, power amp, in a 2u and GT5 in a padded bag.  This is feasible I think.

[rnolan]

Just a thought, if you got a deep 2RU rack (as opposed to the shallow ones), could the GT5 fit at an angle (with appropriate padding) in the back of the rack ? Or if you went to 4 RU you could include other rack gear and maybe the GT5 velcroed (or some other method) inside the rear lid ? I used to gaph my 8 ch desk into the rear lid of my 8 RU rack then flip it up on top to play. Now I have it velcroed to the bottom of the rack with heavy duty velcro.

[rabidgerry]

Been thinking about the bigger rack, but that more weight per one item and this is the issue with luggage restrictions and all that shit.  Having the GT5 in a bag is actually useful as all the cables can go in there also.  I would probably be looking to expand my rack by another one or two units but it's really no point, as when it comes travel time, I'll be limited again. 

Really is a bummer being a band at this level sometimes, you've no roadies, no money, and you can't get all your gear on a plane.  I still love it though of course or I wouldn't bother.  Even worse for the drummer I suppose, he has to show up and pray to jesus the drum kit is to his liking 

[rnolan]

It must be frustrating, I can get a sound out of most things, but nothing like having your own rig

Hey Gang,

   I totally understand where RG is coming from, having traveled on tours in the past, and airlines are a major pain in the ass when it comes to gigging musicians. Unless you have your own plane, they charge you on a pro-rated scale for the weight you bring on board. Since none of us are rich enough to afford our own aircraft, I would do basically what RG is doing, and take along a suitcase rig to my liking, (provided it's under 50 lbs), and plug into whatever amp is available with a decent tone. My preference is usually a Fender Twin, or a similar amp with a good strong clean tone, then my pedal rig does the rest.
   In the end, it really doesn't matter what you play through, because your sound comes from you, and not really the equipment
